The hilarious part of that story is that the race Soule sued over she finished SIXTH in. So even if the trans girls who finished 1st and 2nd had been banned from competing, she would have finished fourth and not gotten a medal. Like, I could ALMOST understand the frustration if you were denied a gold medal because of…

Y’know, it used to be when you lost an athletic contest, that was it. Not that nobody’s ever cheated, of course, but on the whole you were very disappointed and then moved on.

These bills are not about women’s sports being “fair.” Clearly. I’m fairly certain a good chunk of what this is actually about is the fact that sports can be very good at fostering teamwork and respect between members of the same team, and these lawmakers are terrified that their children will be on a team with a…

I would guess a lot of these voters are the same people who proudly shit on the WNBA and wonder why some people can’t lighten up when they refer to the men’s NCAA tournament as just “the NCAA tournament”. They did not, do not and will not care about women’s sports or their players.

I do have a fantasy involving republicans and a sparkly pointed boot suitable for puncturing testes that I call “My Sequined Nightmare”

Federal sentences are much, much shorter than state sentences. Jen Shah may serve 3 years or 3 months, but nothing resembling 30 years. I predict her pleading guilty, agreeing to pay significant restitution, and then failing to make restitution, which the feds may or may not care about, since they already got the…

You know where'd I never live? Fucking Florida. 

I know it’s tempting to fantasize about kicking someone like this in the fork, but you should really stop and consider what consequences such an action might have. You could strain something, or hurt your foot, while doing so. Make sure to stretch beforehand and wear appropriate shoes!

These slimeballs play to their audience...Florida being one of their best...

Of course he did. Just another floridan turd I have to kick in the fucking dick whenever I get a chance. Swallow a beehive you pandering milquetoast discount trump wannabe.

She was the best part of the interview. Can we normalize men spending time with their families and children to celebrate? 

I remember there was a big fuss a few years back when Steph Curry of the golden state warriors was rising. I myself don’t really watch pro basketball, but I know the playoffs are a long haul. So this dude has done interview after interview and one time he decides to bring his 3 year old along. She was a cute kid and…

“the level of work it takes to be a Japanese Black woman in a predominantly white sport.”

Immediate post-game interviews have always felt exploitative to me, as though journalists are hoping for some kind of melt-down or off-the-cuff responses so they can write juicier stories. I realize they want a quote from as close to the event as possible, but can you imagine being grilled about why you lost, directly…

Every job has unpleasant and awful aspects that are a part of it ...It’s still a part of the job.

Just because it’s always been this way doesn’t mean it shouldn’t change. When it comes down to it, we want to see the game - football, basketball, tennis, hockey, boxing, whatever. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m so sick of false, manufactured content intended to generate ad revenue. There are gazillions…

I’ve heard enough ESPN* to know the bulk of the “coverage” is gossip, speculation, trolling, incendiary conjecture, and infighting. I was waiting to get a dental cleaning when there was some beef between Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant about them not being teammates anymore. I heard talking head after talking…

I’m a big college basketball fan and watching the post game media sessions with college players after losing in the NCAA tournament is heart wrenching. Not only are they not being paid for their labor but now they are having a spotlight shone on them at their most vulnerable moment as an athlete.

I don’t think we should ignore that Serena Williams contributed to how the 2018 US Open was received. Her and Naomi may be cool, and they could have been cool at the time, too, but the scene she caused with the ref (rightfully or wrongfully) created part of the backlash against Naomi. I think Naomi would have caught…

It’s so cute when boys — and it’s ALWAYS them — try to pull the “gotcha” with feminism and equal rights and corner me with “Well, then, do you think women should have to register for the draft, since equality and all that?!” Ha ha, I don’t think ANYONE should have to register for the draft, so nice try. To hell with…
