I’d trust their motives, but have doubts about their capability or resources.

Exactly. The students should be satisfied knowing that a post-structuralist critique of the incident is being drafted and will be published in 2023.
I don’t know, they’re also looking for the most inefficient hand-wringers to grind this to a halt as soon as it starts.
Sounds like Columbo, but it’s really 3 humanities professors who got suckered into being on the committee. I’m sure their combined expertise in Renaissance poetry, critical theories of ethnicity, and semiotics will get to the bottom of this quickly and efficiently.
Yep. About a third of EPL is big money powerhouses, but the rest of the league has enough money/talent to make those powerhouses have to show up and earn wins. All of the other leagues have 1-3 powerhouses that can sleepwalk past the dregs to CL berths year after year.
If you genuinely think that star players and coaches have no influence over refereeing, you are probably too naive to function in the real world.
Cool cliches.
Exactly. That’s why it’s weird when people bag so hard on MLS when your average MLS team is just as good as the 13th place punching bag in the top European leagues. The teams at the top are much better than all the others in the world, but once you go a bit down the ladder, they’re all pretty equivalent.
This is why it’s hard to get into European soccer. Real Madrid “teetering on the brink” means that they might only be one of the top 10 teams on the planet instead of the top 3 which they’ve been for the last decade. They’ll still win nearly all of their games and be near the top of La Liga and make CL quarters, but…
The one tiny upside to absurd policetalk is they’ve actually been nailed a few times by forensic linguists who pointed out that confessions written in policetalk are transparently bullshit. There’s also a good story out there about cops overusing the word “furtive” when talking about probable cause to the point that…
Your first comment ends with the phrase “watching a cartoon that stopped being funny about 10 years before they were born.” That’s admitting that it was once funny and then stopped despite your astoundingly dumb denial. The rest of your dumb comment somehow gets dumber from there. Dumb on top of dumb on top of dumb.
Honestly, I have no idea who watches the Simpsons now, but what you have chosen not to understand is that the people that are interested this feature are only interested in the period of time when you admit that it was funny. I know that doesn’t work for your magnificently dumb analogy between Trump voters and whoever…
The saddest thing is that you think that was clever.
Congratulations, you wrote the dumbest comment!
It’s hard to remember this time when Iron Man was a surprise hit and the whole MCU seemed like an uncertain bet. There had already been plenty of failed attempts at franchise building (and dozens more since), and trying to set up a big series on an ambitious after-credits scene could have been insult to injury if it…
I’m impressed at how many words you used to say “I am the ass that this article is written for, and I will proudly ignore its sound advice and continue to sound like an idiot.”
Apparently you’re not anti-intellectual, but you are anti-reading, since you barely skimmed this on your way to the comments to talk about how smart you are. The point isn’t using a large vocabulary, but using fancy words to mean simple words for the sole purpose of sounding fancy. None of the words here are words…
It sounds like you got that tidbit third or fourth hand or otherwise mixed up the details, but that corny obnoxious writing is still far more grounded than anything I’ve seen from Brooks or Stephens.
