Oh how I’ve missed you!!!

lol

Wait, so you’re saying that an athlete has a particular physical characteristic that gives her an edge over her competition? That all people are not equally physically endowed with the qualities that would help them succeed in particular sports? That’s fucked up, man.

Stick to terrible short track speed skating comments, please.

I’m legit impressed that the tomato troll is still around.

Man, cant believe you missed Cilizza on this list...

Your comment history is a master class in being an oblivious douche with no self awareness.

“People need to learn about figure skating before they comment on it” is my current motto. I’m trying reallllly hard not to get into fights with people on here and Twitter, but it’s so hard. 

She’s not really good at speed skating, her body is just made for it. I said this about so many basketball players and they all called me an idiot. That you, Dirk, for being a ray of light in this otherwise dark world.

She’s not actually good at speed skating; she just has a long leg.

Pee is stored in the balls.

I really want to know: what’s your point?

...but mostly as an idea and that’s why I’m super excited that last years Freshman class was the first majority non-white class in Harvard’s history.
