It’s a weird discussions. Most things are considered sports just because they’ve always been considered sports. Some people (like HighLikeAnEagle) think anything that “goes to the judges” like gymnastics, dance, and figure skating are not sports. But boxing and wrestling are scored just as subjectively, and those are

You’ve made up your own definition of the word sport and decided that everyone else is wrong?

I see your half-baked comment, and raise you Olympic figure skating, shooting, and equestrian dressage.

By your definition, a whole lot of Olympic sports aren’t sports. 

If men would have started it, it would be considered a sport.

Revenue-generating sports. I’m goddamn sick of the sexism. Maybe we stop paying college coaches so much? Just a thought.

There’s something wrong with the whole system when an activity needs to be validated as a “sport” to receive the respect it deserves.

I don’t know why the media keeps helping this prairie dog-faced wretch in her role as Republican Flava Flav! She’s the hype woman for the old white bullfrogs who don’t have the words to articulate Fight The N_***s but wanna jump around anyway! She has no committee assignments and isn’t doing a damn thing for her

Our stories belong in the culture just like everyone else. It would be ridiculous not to

Yes, you would probably have to pick your (public) friends very wisely if you wanted to be the Vice President of Global Public Policy for one of the largest, most influential multinational corporations to ever exist. Especially as they edge closer and closer to gov't. regulation.

It’s ok everyone; Facebook is changing their name so everything will be fine soon.

Freedom has consequences, and the consequences in this case are: a bunch of people are pissed and are showing their displeasure.

Free Speech is only freedom from the government, it is NOT freedom from consequences from privately owned companies or from consumers of your speech.

If he had access to humanity he would have never been CEO in the first place.

I screwed up that internal communication.”

A person who profits from people striving for an unattainable version of perfection is also profiting from a pretense of transparency.

It’s the stealing someone else’s abs that really makes the whole thing especially grotesque.

Choice/commodity feminism is a very useful tool for women who want to profit from anti-woman choices while looking like they have challenged the system. It makes her feel better. Her minions play their part - reassure her that simply because it’s her choice and it makes her feel better, it must be empowering. The
