But have you seen how sad the women look in half pipe and slopestyle, they are doing tricks FACTORS less than the men. It’s like the women are barely clearing the lip and the guys are 25 feet out of the pipe.

Is there a single quote in this article from a former or current female Olympic athlete on this topic? From literally any nation or winter discipline? I’ve gone through several times and maybe I’m just not seeing it.

Bird cages suck (full face masks). They restrict your breathing, your head movement, make it hard to communicate and impede your vision. I’m all for the mandated visors but the women should actually have the option of wearing that instead of being forced to wear a cage. Most would switch to the visor.

I legitimately thought this said “Passes Gas.” I read the whole article, couldn’t figured out the context of the statement, then re-read the headline to say “Presses Gas” and it all made sense.

Well to be fair there is at least a halfway plausible argument that the summer games aren’t “boring.”

I find a lot more of the racing in the summer games to be infinitely more watchable though. The competitors are actually racing against opponents as opposed to running time trials. I can have a visceral reaction by seeing Usain Bolt move faster than everybody else in a straight line. Imagine if he were merely…

I guess, however I don’t want the NBA players in the game.

Uphill sprints in the snow. Not much of a sport but I’d sit on the couch with a beer saying “I could do that” while knowing full well that I would die halfway up the hill.

They should make baseball a Winter Olympic sport. The IOC wants MLB players to be in the Olympics, but there will never be any possibility of MLB shutting down for two weeks on the cusp of the pennant race.

But having a two week tournament in the beginning of February - well, they already do that, with the WBC, and…

Full disclaimer: I attended Xavier University for undergrad and NYU for grad school. I am glad that Miss Harris is feeling empowered via social media and whatnot, but I really need her to examine the much bigger picture in this 3D chess game. NYU is a magical, yet contradictory, place to learn, but Miss Harris is…

Pregnancy rumor magazines should be replaced with a babushka that says “she is vith child” under pictures of celebs

The Wheelers still scare the crap out of me.

The grim truth is that women are better off having Thomas at 69 than whoever Trump would replace him with at 50.

gold is probably out of the question, but if he gets a bronze out of this it’d still be incredible

Every idiot who says that they hate drama is always the catalyst for drama.

I never understood these. Give me skinny jeans or give me death.

Nathan Chen was so ripped apart for his bad performance last night by the media, I felt sorry for him. Same with Mikaela Shiffrin, even though she had already won a gold medal the day before. But I guess they must pay for “robbing” NBC and all the news outlets of their ratings money.

What’s funny about this to me is that Swift herself tried to trademark a bunch of short banal phrases (including “this sick beat” from the song in question). But yeah, it would kill popular music entirely if simple phrases could be copyrighted - think “ooh baby you drive me crazy”, etc.

Hi! Friendly neighborhood litigator here! This isn’t so much a burn on Taylor as it is an accurate statement of copyright law. You can’t copyright short, commonly-used phrases, because that’s not really what the law is intended to protect, and the law shouldn’t be used to create monopolies on super-common phrases…

Listening now, but does this apply only to the NFL? Because Steve Kerr definitely looks like he could easily be a bandwagon-ing tech bro, and Brad Stevens 100% looks like a guy from the Boston suburbs who does marathons and did crew at BU.
