If this were a baseball player, Deadspin would ridicule him with a headline like “Crybaby punished for being an asshole, blames everyone else, and cries some more.”

I may not have hit the nail on the head with my word choice here, I’ll admit, but I don’t think the article is balanced, it’s a puff job of Serena. She lost 6-2, 6-4, and this controversy happened in the second set. Wouldn’t it be more fair to say that Serena wasn’t feeling it today, wasn’t having her best match,…
Can we please stop with the Serena worship? She’s a titan of tennis, a superb athlete, but she’s not without flaws, without her faults. She’s petulant, and this isn’t the first or worst instance of abusing an official in her career.
The highlight reel should only show the cursing done after the player has been assessed one or two violations. What’s rare, even for emotional, aggressive, half-mental men and women in tennis is for those players to continue to push the umpire when they know they’re going to lose a point or game.
So pretty much like a Deadspin article.
Yep. But it’s important that we be mad about anything and everything I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Suite Judy Blue Eyes was sung by CSN (Not Y). Neil Young hadn’t even joined the group at the time of the album that contained that song. Sheesh.
It’s like debating with a Trump supporter on Reddit. You don’t bring anything of substance to the table and continue to move the goalposts. You posted a false analogy yet everyone else in this forum is wrong for pointing out its flaws and not pretending to be outraged enough about Louis CK. You’re either a troll who…
The Wit and Wisdom of Recognitions:
I think the characterization of the headline and your comment are unfair. The University President is speaking on behalf of the University and taking responsibility for the University. That he acknowledges wrongdoing by University employees is hardly equivalent to saying “it was someone else’s fault.”
That’s most of HamNo’s articles. His talent is making the reader wonder if he is serious or trolling.
Only implied oral consent.
Every time I hear an argument against this unpopular line of thinking I become more convinced it’s valid.

I think the addition of theater-approved booze has probably contributed to this phenomenon. I have the bladder of a sparrow, so I’ve never been able to sit through a 90 minute movie, but I know that it’s worse now that I can drink alcohol freely.
Did you really expect Singal or their reps to speak with you given the way you approached the matter?
The 30% increase cited by large portions of the media is the increase from 1999, not 2016.
I found myself asking what $270M even is anymore. Like, is that a lot of money in the world of Big 10 athletic departments? It seems like a lot, but I don’t really know without any context provided here. So I looked one up - the University of Iowa (I went there so it seemed like the best place to look) spent about…
I’ve got to stand up for Loaded Weapon 1. It doesn’t deserve it’s reputation as one of the worse copycats.
Insomnia is way underrated.
