No. Do you live in a state of pedantry? ;)

true, though I do like the US’s historical success against Germany in match ups on French soil.

I contacted every member of the US Men’s National Team to ask if they were happy about today’s result and if they like puppies. None responded and I think we can all agree that their silence speaks volumes.

That’s all been done, many times. So, yeah, “long-winded” might be one of the things I would say. But since that’s not what happened, let’s just stick with what we have here - a lazy attempt to put the victimhood of the USWNT around the necks of their male counterparts just because they’re, well, male.

No, they haven’t.

I know it’s shitty but reality is Deadspin isn’t NY Times. Also, this is a heavy topic does the author have enough credibility to handle it?

“status as a blogger for Deadspin probably doesn’t warrant a response”

If my co workers were in a salary litigation I wouldn’t comment either. Also, did you consider your status as a blogger for Deadspin probably doesn’t warrant a response?

The article is really dumb, but I’m glad it exists if only so that you had the opportunity for this gem.

You get paid for this?

“Oh, and the gender discrimination lawsuit they filed against U.S. Soccer...”

Have you checked to see if they’re legally barred from discussing the issue while the lawsuit is ongoing? This isn’t a criticism, I’m legitimately curious.

Man, these guys really won’t defend anything.

It’s not bizarre when you realize that leftists have a list of victim status rankings to determine who too support in any given situation.

England manager Phil Neville saw neither of these as viable understandings of what happened and instead decided to use his postgame interview to chide Cameroon—who, remember, England had just beaten by three goals—for not keeping their composure.
...
Neville could at least be justified in his frustrations if his…

You spent more time criticizing VAR and the referee (who got every decision correct except the red cards that Cameroon should have received) than you do criticizing the team that got away with an elbow to the head and spitting, and by your own admission lost their composure.

....VAR review of the goal revealed that the Cameroonian player who made the pass to Nchout was about an inch offside....

Cameroon was the dumpster fire. Neville was absolutely correct. The fact that you can watch that game and criticize England more than Cameroon is bizarre.

This is common among tech companies large enough to build their own products—sometimes it’s purely for security reasons, sometimes it’s for cost savings, sometimes it’s to dogfood products with commercial potential, and often, it’s a combination of all three.

The US Navy, as part of its mission, ensures the freedom of passage of all sea lines of communication around the globe as these are critical to our national prosperity, and therefore national interest. The Navy routinely conducts “freedom of navigation” missions in international waters, testing illegal expansionist…

Ever heard of NATO? Norway is in NATO too, and one of their tankers was attacked. The US military has a lot more investigatigatory capabilities than the Norwegian military does, so for the US to take point makes sense.
