Link? I’m not saying it didn’t happen - I wasn’t watching the game in real time at the time of the VAR review, so I didn’t see every angle. Just that every angle I’ve seen makes it look like a whiff.

ETA: Looked at the replays in the embedded tweet video, again. I don’t see her leg changing trajectory. I see a short…

I’ve watched that replay 15 different ways, and I still can’t see where the foul was. If there’s any contact at all, it’s that White winds up and, in the process, kind of taps Sauerbrunn’s shin with her heel. Maybe I’m blind, but I’ve just yet to see an angle that shows me anything that merited a whistle (or the type…

I’m seeing people upset about Morgan’s tea-sipping celebration. It lasted a second. Meanwhile, White did the specs and then screamed her damn head off for a good twenty seconds. But, you know, the US did it, so it’s bad. 

I mean, the irony? *I* also review films professionally. And I’m a white male in my 40s. And yet, I can read Brie Larson’s comments and not feel attacked. I dunno, man. I just don’t think saying that we need to hear from some non-white, non-male voices in the film criticism space, and that my opinion might not matter…

The field goal question ignores probably the trickiest part of the equation - a fast and accurate snap. The more you increase the distance from line to placeholder, the harder putting a snap on the money with pace and cleanly enough for the holder to get it down and positioned correctly becomes. Guys in the NFL make…

Agreed, but, also: Don’t like it, call it bullshit in a public forum. No one is suggesting the government step in, here.

But, again: The first issue you have is that she doesn’t want *you* to see the movie. *But she wasn’t talking about you*. She was talking about professional film critics (unless...*are* you a professional film critic?). So, saying she doesn’t want *you* to see her movie, or that *your* opinion has no value, is not…

I look forward to America’s next great sport, “competitive access to potable water.”

I’d encourage you to read her comments in their entirety...and, also, the actual words that came out of her mouth. At no point did she say anything about 40 year-old white males watching Captain Marvel, or that she doesn’t care about your opinion of that film. Here is the exact text of the comments she made:

The answer, as it is to most things: Money. 

I’d like to propose Carla Azar as S-K’s new drummer. She’s a monster. 

It’s really getting to be fuck this shit o’clock on my Knicks fandom, at least until Dolan is gone, which is probably never, because we live in Hell. I just don’t even know what I’m rooting for, any more, other than for the man to be caught in a Donald Sterling-sized scandal and forced to sell the team. 

James Franco as John Romero would be really something - he could just recycle his Tommy Wiseau wig. Maybe that’s too much to ask. 

You’re going to get knocked, but this is a very good point. The toxicity of modern fandom has come from multiple sources, but the fact of the matter is that a big part of it is how much it’s been commodified, on various levels - from the people making the actual entertainment products down to the sites that report on…
