There’s a hundred different angles you can look at this story from, but both the article and most of these comments aren’t really taking into account how this has actually played out. The IOC itself (not to unilaterally defend the IOC, they’re weird and fucked for any other number of reasons) seemingly wants to ban…

Wasn’t it US Track and field who banned Sha’Carri. I thought that happened before the IOC would have a say on the matter (since she didn’t get to go to the trials).

Since the Judges don’t want Polonium-210 in their tea...

I just complained about this the other day but the coverage of Sha’Carri Richardson seems to have a lot more to do with people’s feelings about cannabis than it does with actually caring about racism in the Olympics. Also, cannabis isnt necessarily banned as a performance enhancing drug. For the IOC to ban a drug it…

Agree that letting Valieva compete is egregious. That being said - her case is a LOT different than Richardson’s and you shouldn’t compare the two. Is race a factor? Probably because people are racist. But also, Valieva is a 15 year old child who is coached by a notoriously evil woman (Eteri Tutberidze) who will stop…

Seems fairly dishonest for Emily not to mention the fact that the CAS and IOC had absolutely nothing to do with Richardson’s ban.

This is, indeed, a take. One that ignores pretty much everything about the differences between these two decisions except for race, sure, but still a take.

Now get Gwar for the halftime show.

“No specific cause of death was given”

“It’s not solely a problem with Horizon Forbidden West, nor is it a problem limited to video games. You see it across popular genre fiction these days, as everything from Star Wars to the Marvel Cinematic Universe doubles down on plot over people, going so far as to fill in backstories for enigmatic characters who…

It was also the most appropriate choice for, you know, a really big sports event that many of the players will only ever participate in once in their career.

Deep cut, @RDMC, wait.. what? 2022??

I don’t know much about hip-hop, but this halftime show was great. 

“What? Over? Did you say over? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbour? Hell no!”

Nothing will ever top that In Living Color special that stole virtually the entire viewing audience away from the actual halftime show.

Nothing will ever top Prince.

I’ve been thinking the same thing since WandaVision, hoping for a ‘Big Bad Hidden in Plain Sight’ scenario, a la Dark Willow in Buffy S6. If not the main villain, Wanda’ll certainly be sitting to the right of their throne.

really hoping Wanda is set up as our next Thanos. Finally a villain we can properly care about and understand in the Marvel universe (something I wasn’t as aware was lacking until the Spiderman crossover movies)

If you gonna report something, report it right. Thank the television program In Living Color for bringing Michael Jackson to Super Bowl XXVII. Fox showed an episode of the show live opposing Super Bowl XXVI’s halftime show & it drew a sizeable chunk of the audience from that game. It was hyped up as much as The Super…
