She’s also missing out on some of Robin Williams’ most riveting work.

Saying shit like “Good Will Hunting sucks!” makes you sound like a bratty tween who has never actually read or seen anything. 

I understand that this is dirtbag, so the flippant tone is expected, but it seems oddly callous and weird to me that you’re treating a situation involving alleged guardianship abuse as a sibling rivalry. If Britney Spears’ testimony is anything to go by, she holds her entire family responsible for the abuse she has…

It’s not USDA’s rule. It’s IOC following regulations created by the World Doping Agency. 

When you find out that your mother has died during an interview and you’re in a place where it’s legal to smoke a joint, are you really telling me that you aren’t smoking a joint?

Jesus, how hard is it to put your dick away at work? I get workplace romances happen, but if you’re an asshole -  things won’t go well and you deserve what you get. Seems like he got caught showing his true self and is now trying to reclaim his moral virginity. Sorry dude. It doesn’t work like that.

As per usual with this author and type of article, there were just random claims with no substance. Somehow Naomi Osaka choosing not to do press conferences is supposed to be equated with failing a drug test as proof that rules aren’t equally enforced? No mention of other Olypians or runners who were kick…

“In this case, the policies that resulted in Richardson’s suspension are the creation of a single body, the USADA, whose officials have the power to change them—but only if they want. In the case of Black athletes, exceptions are rarely if ever made; empathy can be equally hard to come by.”

Congratulations on tearing down a woman to promote(?) another woman. How very progressive of you to ignore the systemic misogyny that Nichols faced/faces.

I also feel like “haters” is excessive to describe people who feel this way. Deferring to the rules is actually the most rational, least emotional position to stake out in this situation.

I don’t know that I’d call Joe Biden a “Sha’Carri Richardson hater.” First, he didn’t volunteer his opinion, he was asked and he answered. Second, this is the most normatively acceptable response to a question about someone breaking a dumb rule that’s easy to avoid breaking—and underscores that this is a purely…

“In the case of Black athletes, exceptions are rarely if ever made; empathy can be equally hard to come by.”

Also first person to ever successfully pull off a daily NBA show for ESPN, has covered the league for years, and has done her damnedest to break through the glass ceiling at one of the most male dominated industries.

This is sad and unfortunate and the rule should be changed, but every athlete with Olympic hopes knows that they can’t do this... So I don’t understand the big outrage. If she would be an athlete that people don’t like too much or a white athlete, people would be writing that because of entitlement and privilege such…

I feel like people are looking at this case from a US centric viewpoint. This rule is in place for all athletes competing in the Olympics. It’s a global wide rule that each and every athlete is expected to adhere. Cannibus is only banned during competition. It doesn’t matter if people think it’s a dumb rule. It…

Ugh, I really hate the “I’m not perfect and no one else is!” response after someone has royally fucked up. No one is saying she needs to be perfect and you don’t need to be perfect to know that it is inadvisable to use drugs while you’re in competition. 

Watching sports must be exhausting for you in that case.

You’re asking a bit much from this writer, methinks. I mean, your second paragraph is light years better than anything in the article & that’s without you trying too hard, or say...having writing be your actual job.

She got less than someone only found to have laundered money for the cult.
