She’s an idiot and a bigot, but oh well. Neither are illegal, and hopefully the USWNT doesn’t call her up again, I imagine there’s a couple of other women on the team that wouldn’t want to play with someone who has open animosity towards them.

She remembers to make burnt offerings of two pigeons or doves 14 days after every menstrual period, right? Cuz you can’t pick and choose.

I’m not religious and I fully support gay marriage. But people still need to be able to express their own views, and as long as she’s not out there hate-mongering and advocating against the rights of others, people need to be tolerant of this shit. We are not always all going to agree. I do think she sounds a bit like…

As repugnant as her views are, she asserted them in just about as unoffensive a manner as you could possibly hope for. Quietly staying home for “personal reasons” >>>>>>>> the millions of other ways she could have turned this into a right wing spectacle of outrage and grievance politics.

“It’s not a pick and choose what you want to believe.”

Probably in the minority here, but I think it’s fair for an athlete not to want to take part in someone else’s political speech - not wearing the jersey isn’t that different than not wanting to stand for the anthem. This isn’t a private team, it’s the USWNT, for all intents and purposes an arm of the state.

I think her viewpoint on the issue of LGTBQ are stupid, ignorant and otherwise idiotic.

there’s absolutely nothing wrong with this. if I was a MLB player I would have refused to play for my team over Memorial Day weekend while they wore their disgusting camo bullshit uniforms. she’s an idiot for believing what she does but someone shouldn’t be forced to show support for a cause they disagree with

Whether you agree with her or not, anybody willing to torpedo their career for their beliefs is at least consistent.

Because this gif is necessary again. At least Zidane got the timing right this time.

So typical that when things came to a head, he butted out.

Zidane must have really felt like he was banging his head against the players in that locker room.

I’m 100% on board with cancelling the show, but I just don’t understand why ABC had to go and give her a platform to begin with. Her Twitter has been filled with hate for a long time and by ABC giving Barr her sitcom back, it emboldened her to be more vitriolic. And before everyone responds to me, money cannot the…

I mean, there is an ethical argument to be made that tuition and fees shouldn’t be subsidizing collegiate athletics, but the cost of athletics isn’t really the reason why college costs have skyrocketed in the last 25 years or so. The reason college costs have ballooned is largely that states have absolutely gutted…

For the record, Vanbiesbrouck is actually best remembered for inexplicably still being the starting Rangers goalie in NHL 94, forcing me to manually bench him for Richter every time I played.

I don’t understand, this makes him seem really qualified for the Florida Sports hall of fame.

Northern Ontario is more or less Northern Florida only with moose instead of alligators.

“’It is really exciting to get someone with John’s background,’ USA Hockey President Jim Smith said in the press release.”

It depresses me how many people will still side with the cops here.

And by “disciplined” they mean, “fired and charged with aggravated assault”, right?

Oh wait, no... cops. Never mind.
