Spoilers: We’re all underpaid. 

Midge begins to slowly embrace being herself, rather than trying to please other people.

The Simpson's wasn't cancelled 37 timrs. 

This take is reminiscent of those anti-union videos they made us watch at my retail gig. “Advocating for higher wages for everyone is an insult to your fellow workers who are (outwardly, anyway) content to work for less! Why do you have to sow discord in our happy corporate family?”

You’re not wrong about some teachers and workers deserving better pay, but pro sports makes billions of dollars. The athletes do all the heavy lifting, but franchise owners take most of the money. The 2021 NFL salary cap is $182.5 million and 95% of it must go to players. I don’t know the logistics of practice squad,…

“It’s insulting to suggest your coworkers should be paid more” isn’t a great take

Always interesting to see how public sentiment goes with something like this. When it’s a sports team and there’s one person holding out for contract related reasons they’re usually called selfish and it’s talked about they’re hurting the success of other people who have also put in their work.

Two fine endings!

Or the dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you

Oh great, another bio-pic.

It’s banned by WADA not IOC. IOC uses WADA rules but doesn’t draft them. To ban a substance it has to meet 2 of their 3 criteria. 1. It’s performance enhancing or it has the potential to be performance enhancing 2. It’s a health risk or potential health risk for athletes 3. Its against the spirit of the games.

seems like reason #6,237 why teenagers shouldn’t be in the olympics.

Not only that, but for what other crime is the victim’s DNA collected and entered into a database? None. Maybe the rare assault. If you allow rape victims’ DNA to be part of the criminal database, you’re creating an unequal system wherein being the victim of one specific crime gets you entered into the database, but…

It’s not a legitimate question. Rape survivors’ DNA should not be entered into a searchable criminal database. End of story. Rape victims are not criminal suspects, regardless of what they’ve done in the past or may do in the future. Putting them in that database is so wrong and will have a chilling effect on the…

The victim’s DNA shouldn’t be kept in the database full-stop. Murders are extremely rare, even amongst felonies, and it’s completely unreasonable to structure the justice system around them when the majority of offenses are non-violent.

I actually think Richardson should’ve been allowed to compete.

Just came to reiterate what others have said - these situations are comparable in that they are both athletes but the organizations making the decisions are different. It’s not to say that what happens to Richardson wasn’t racist (it was!) or that the IOC and other top athletic organizations aren’t racist (they…

The loophole here wasn’t based on race. Even age is only a tangential issue. It was based on what the respective countries did and the delay between when Valieva was tested and when her results were returned. First of all, the same entities did not make the relevant decisions in their respective cases. Richardson…

You absolutely can be considered not legally/morally culpable as a juvenile but still be allowed the privileges of adulthood. Large swathes of the legal codes of the Western world are predicated on that concept. We absolutely can and do have it both ways on this issue all the time, and I for one am perfectly…

Its not because she’s black. Its because she’s American.
