Why do you find it weird that a sport that gets 2% of the ratings of football (on a good day, less than 1% on a bad one) gets a tiny percentage of the coverage?

How is it even possible that we've had Quayle, Bush II, and Biden in the past 25 years as VP, P, and VP?

There is, to compare, about $100 per senior high school football player and $540 per female track athlete.

I don't really think that's comparable to the situation of women in sports, where it really is like a "kiddie version", in that they have significantly inferior talent. I mean this in all seriousness: I was better than the worst player I saw in a WNBA game the one time I watched (an enormous Chinese woman who was…

What Quayle was ultimately bemoaning—the idea of a world where white male hegemony was no longer so secure

If that were true, we'd have a league for guys like me (fat and getting too old to be good athletes).

Hockey is called one of the big four, but It's barely there. It's closer to soccer in tv revenue (7.5 times) than NFL (1/25)

I suspect him being really old and never great at his peak had more to do with his loss than a lack of training

It's sadly funny to read that a 31 year old woman said "the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life—harder than training for the
Olympics, harder than graduating from college, has been to stay a
virgin before marriage"

Favorite Title IX fact: For every senior female rower in high school there is almost $10,000 in scholarship money in college

He's probably still kicking himself for saying that.

@avclub-677bce9f2a360c12cf1bd8d5f140bd62:disqus I did, too.

the 1999 Women’s World Cup victory should be considered on the same level with the Miracle On Ice.

So when will we get past the ludicrously stupid bit where skinny little women snap the necks of adult males? Really, this is more improbable than a guy shooting a car's gas tank with a pellet gun and causing it to explode.

I've been bugged by the fact that Bri is an actress/ Monti II, but James seemed wayyyyy more like a plant the past couple of weeks.

Ok, I'm often pointing out how stupid it is that the challenge winners try to screw every single person they can with their choices, as if they don't understand that only one person will lose. But this episode suggested that Graham hasn't figured out that trying to screw everyone at once is pointless.

@avclub-b476828992f393a09339cf6270d30aa8:disqus "l knew from looking at him that he was a bomb about to go off. A big, fat media bomb!"

I can't believe no one has mentioned the rickshaw that followed that

I think I would have rated this one significantly lower before my mother died.
