An MLS blog that is honest about what it is but also complimentary of the entertainment the game provided?

She’s intentionally mixing apples and oranges. She is using the success and popularity of the women’s national team to argue that a women’s professional league should be given more money. This, of course, completely ignores the fact that the women’s national team is not designed as a business. For whatever reason she…

Lol, just because they CAN doesn’t mean they SHOULD.
If it hasn’t become profitable to field a women’s team - which is the point of the comment - then it doesn’t matter how much money a corporation has. Throwing away money is never a good thing. 

So your general solution of “GET RID OF VAR” wouldn’t have done jack shit to remedy this, right?

Sorry Deadspin, but in the US soccer world, ur only slightly better than TMZ.

You get paid for this?

How long ago were the questions sent? Maybe reaching out before a tournament could have been better rather than wait until they are in a tournament.

More of a general journalism question, but when you ask for a comment, how long do you normally give for them to respond before deciding it’s been long enough and you need to publish your story?

Wow, a bunch of people in the middle of a tournament didn’t deign to take a blog’s bait? Crazy stuff. Probably clear proof they’re all misogynists.

Interesting spin here but they’re not wrong. Loot Boxes in video games are no different than baseball cards or Hatchimals. You get a box not knowing what’s in it until you open it. Going to be interesting to see if those industries start getting lumped into these “anti-loot” box bills in congress that’ll never pass.

I left academia because of the shitty pay.  This is mostly spot on.  One thing I observed directly (and this was 20 years ago, but i think if anything the trend has accelerated) was that while actual teaching faculty were getting squeezed on money, they were building massive empires of Diversity Coordination.  Gold…

It’s been like the same song and dance with Luke since D1. Hell, I remember him saying similar things and talking things up during the Reach days before and after launch.

He’s union. ‘Nuff said.

Rather than jumping to conclusions in a blindly pro-union screed, please do some research.

Another question would be — prior to legalization, would these same events have led to a trip to the ER? Given that it wasn’t legal prior to the study, my guess is that it was previously under-reported since people wouldn’t want to get in trouble for drug use.  I would assume that only the most severe instances would…

Until we see revenue figures from the men’s and women’s teams, it’s hard to make any real argument about whether the suit is valid or not.

It’s not really an insult. Console gamers aren’t used to MMOs and thus have lower standards for these types of games.

Anthem - Another successor in the Destiny line of bland, uninspiring MMOs for the most casual of MMO gamers who have ridiculously low standards because MMOs aren’t prevalent on consoles.

I don’t read barstool and think the founder guy is an asshole, but I’m also over Deadspin constantly harping against websites that are consistently more successful than Deadspin.

I mean, Google doesn’t have an appalling history of human rights violations, so I’m not sure if that’s a tongue-in-cheek question or if you just haven’t thought about it.
