Well why not? Dude doesn’t do any research, reads a headline and writes 10,000 garbage words about something that was always going to happen. He doesn’t read about how the average age of MLS players is around 25 and the average age of Internationals is around 26. He just sees one old guy come to the league, makes an…

Terry Crews?

Holy goodness, we all need two scoops of Sister Jean these days. What a glorious lady.

Is there a more stereotypical Trumpkin than Trent Dilfer? A mediocre white guy with a head like a penis, from a redneck hellhole, owes his career to the work of others (disproportionately non-white)...

Grammar caught your attention but Hazelwood’s overt racism merits no mention. What kind of a dick nickel are you?

I’d like to formally apologize for having the topics Anne Frank + dating in front of me and failing to include this:

Are we sure she actually petted the dog and wasn’t just examining its suitability as a future coat?

Wait, what? I don’t really care for that particular courtesy, but you can’t deny it exists if you have ever watched anything more than a negligible amount of non-American soccer.

It just sounds like Ballmer really wanted to meaningfully create meaning in a meaningful way. Not sure why you have to be so cynical, Emma.

Yo, what are you talking about? She makes it all the way up to the blue line five out of six times, doesn’t fall down, SKIS BACKWARDS, and doesn’t degrade herself or her country with showboating theatrics. Just good, clean skiing. Give this woman the Gold medal for efficiency and self respect.

I’d like to see you try and qualify for Women’s Freestyle Skiing, Patrick.

Which is a shame, because I prefer that first scenario you presented. It’d make for some awesome theatre.

You spelled tortillas wrong and don’t seem to know where the accent is.

E-fucking-xactly.

I think the fact that he’s competing as an Olympian and pretty much instantly respected because of that already dictates the narrative regardless if he won or not. Surely this article could apply just as easily even if White hadn’t won the gold.

That’s not how I see it, at all. And I am not just being difficult. He was being lionized prior to winning gold, after all. So winning gold did not change the Shaun White narrative, it added to it.

On the other hand, and directly to the question posed, Deadspin literally did raise the suit prior to him winning. So...…
