Agreed, this is the most important point that people are unaware of or overlooking.

The thousands of fans that pack the stadiums and root for whomever will extend the match to five sets seem to disagree as will most tennis fans.

Great moment after the final point last night (“Is this real life?”).  Women should play best of five in majors.  

Ooh, huh, Cantona? Eww, Cantona!

“Retirement is definitely the best option before we get exposed again in public.”

The Warriors were never—and were never going to be—Kevin Durant’s team. That was Steph’s team. Always were, always will be. KD went there knowing that. After all, it was KD’s Thunder that had Steph’s, 73-9 Warriors down 3-1 in the Western Conference Finals. It was KD’s Thunder that had an eight-point lead, at home,…

Amir Garrett’s that friend you’re happy you have but you kind of wish wasn’t your friend.

Finally!  Somebody needed to say it.  

I mean, I know Italy isn’t exactly a bastion of western feminism, but the podium girls for the women’s Giro is really just too much.

I feel your pain. Which sucks for me because I’m almost always joking.

This is textbook CEO politicking. Fire off an attaboy/girl email while simultaneously including a reminder that you don’t even know what it is they do on a daily basis. You see a bumbling dope, I see a Fortune 500 CEO in training.

Hear, hear!

Counterpoint:

I think that is more a recitation of the standard narrative. The context is provided by someone like Susan Woodward in her excellent and extensively footnoted Balkan Tragedy: Chaos and Dissolution after the Cold War. For a pithier—albeit more polemical—take, I’d suggest NATO in the Balkans. It’s edited by former US Att…

This is a whitewashing fit for the pages of the New York Times. The war was part of the larger breakup of the former Yugoslavia. It was fought by and amongst the people that had been whipped into a frenzy by opportunistic, right-wing politicians of every ethnicity in each of the various republics that made up the…

Granted, it’s poor phrasing. I totally concede she should have used different words.

I’m sensitive to the “cold-hearted” portrayal. Simply because life has taught me how complicated relationships are. We have no idea what impact the accident had on their lives. The day-to-day, hourly, boring details of their lives. To attempt to place all of the blame of their breakup on her—as you are doing by…

Fair point, but I still don’t see the relevance. None of us know the relationship, so to countenance people dismissing her allegations because of the appearance of how her previous relationship ended is something I have a huge problem with. That’s my only point. I’m not trying to paint her as a saint. I’m not even…

Again, it easily could have been a response to a question such as:

Not necessarily. She could have been asked to recite the multiple ways in which it impacted her life, both personally and professionally. She could’ve been asked to do so as part of a lawsuit where her now ex-fiancee was suing the State of California for damages as a result of the accident that cost him his leg as…
