Figures. The Swiss team played strong in the neutral zone all night, but had to rely on a bank shot to pull it out in the end.

Huh. Maybe kickers ARE real football players after all.

"120 pounds," quoth the Ravens. "Nevermore."

I seriously cannot believe the number of people who think this was ok because she lied about other things. The reporter clearly has zero idea about trans issues. Absolute disrespect on so many levels.

Beyond the writer's apparent glee over outing this woman and then shrugging off her suicide, I am astounded that people are saying that it was "well written." It is not. It is a tone-deaf, self-important piece that is poorly structured with some overly dramatic foreshadowing sprinkled in. The writer gets disturbingly

You know, between the rampant misogynoir and Gloria Steinem brand feminism (aka white feminism), I'm really beginning to understand Zora Neale Hurston's claim that black woman is the mule of the world. It's like we exist in the blind spots of feminism and black rights.

I'm not ging to give my opinion about this because I'm not black. Which serves as a reminder for everyone else to stop presuming to decide what Latinos, Asians, Native Americans, Cambodians, Peruvians and Australians find offensive or not.
