Why Earth are you on deadspin then?

Exactly! Plus, “they” is reserved for the team we are playing, obviously.

“Sportsball” was maybe funny for 10 minutes after it was first uttered and then it got old. And yet! And yet!

Because Star Wars / LucasFilm / Disney isn’t a form of competitive entertainment based in a certain region designed to get people to root for it as a form of proxy warfare. 

Oh, they’re definitely not using the first prong to become compliant, I’ve known that for forever. The school is 49% female, 51% male, so the athletic participation opportunities should be virtually the same, and instead they’re totally lopsided. They’re using the third prong in some bullshit way, for sure.

According to data provided by the Women’s Sports Foundation, 3,415,297 girls played high school sports in the 2017-2018 school year. They made up 42.8 percent of participants. That means girls are provided with 1.15 million fewer opportunities to play sports at the high school level.

I can already hear the idiotic cries about how this will kill opportunities for boys instead of helping girls, and then there won’t be any sports for anyone. Oh won’t somebody think of the children?!?

“I put my towels across those 12 beach chairs at 05:00 this morning because we were planning to swing by the pool for 15 mins sometime after 15:00.  Is that a problem?”

I kept skipping paragraphs waiting for her to get to the fucking point.

Yeah, that article is worse than Friends ever was.

I think Friends is a good show but I was excited to read this article because Friends fanatics are some of the worst white people ever. Just INSUFFERABLE.

Articles like this perpetuate the idiotic idea that to be “equal”, men and women have to have to compete directly in sports. However, It’s not an equal playing field and totally irrelevant. For example, Ella Donne (WNBA MVP) is a much better basketball player than Brian Scalabrine (YMCA member). However, in a one on…

Yeah. That’s more like a kickoff.

While I don’t necessarily agree with your tone, you’re not wrong. It’s not an apples to apple comparison. Then again, why let facts get in the way of a good story.

Can we please stop this? Look at how she's actually kicking those footballs. Takes two extra steps and the angle is so low she'd be scalding the ball into her center's asshole every time. Stop trying to be woke before it makes people hate a woman whose only previous crime was being part of a juggernaut soccer team. 

In the viral clip she takes a huge run up to the ball, she would not be able to do that in an actual game or even practice situation.  Could she nail a 55 yarder with a realistic run up?  I mean probably she’s incredibly skilled at kicking a ball so why not?

Climbing Mt. Everest is like getting a PHD in rocket science from the University of Phoenix

This... what track team (especially in a championship) doesn’t have a coach/teammate/parent out there calling out splits and lap times? What athlete doesn’t recognize a 12.5% reduction in their times/effort?
