That’s where I am at too. Following every nonsensical, hypocritical, or flat out cruel thing Trump or this Congress does, I have to remind myself that “This is what America apparently wants”. So, we get what we deserve...which is dogshit.

Bad take brah. Sharapova doesn’t deserve to play in the French open because she lost all her ranking points due to her PED suspension. That was part of the penalty! Play your way in starts well before qualifying rounds.

Sorry, don’t agree. All performance-enhancing drugs were legal for years before they were banned. Every other tennis player that was taking meldonium stopped, Sharapova didn’t and she got caught. She deserved more punishment than the 15 month ban she ended up with but that was the CAS’s decision and we have to go with…

Maria Sharapova Will Miss The French Open Because She Cheated

Sharapova doesn’t deserve a wildcard. You wrote yourself two weeks ago that the reason the French Open would give her a wildcard was to “cash in on Sharapova’s slightly bruised popularity” during her “ controversial redemption tour.”

Nah. I’m good with it. The French Open will be just fine. There will still be plenty of great competition and matches on the women’s side. I’ll still watch.

I would think the one who took the banned suppliment would be the dipshit here. Duh.

I have no issues with this. Save the wild card for players who haven’t been found guilty of doping and could use the break and possible opportunity to make a run, earn some money and rankings points.

“the French Open could’ve used a dash of Sharapova’s star power.” Evidently they didn’t think so. It’s their tournament, their wildcard, and she was not entitled to one, so meh.

orrrrr maybe she doesn’t deserve special privileges after a doping violation and she should try improving her ranking the same way any other ~200-ranked player would have to?

She’ll miss it because she’s currently ranked 211 in the world and doesn’t automatically qualify. I don’t see the problem with denying her a spot if she doesn’t have the points to qualify. If she had the points to qualify and they still denied her because of her doping past, that’s a problem. “Because she’s a star”…

How long have you been sitting on this Barry? And how hard has it been to not run it until now?

This is why he is so tight with his O-Line.

I’m sorry, as an amateur player, you cannot accept anything of value, great or otherwise.

Funny. I would have thought this 40+ year old man would be against participation trophies.

Seriously, this isn’t a joke? A member of Congress uses a pic of himself(?) in a double bicep pose that would be way more appropriate for a college-age idiot “strutting” his stuff in his comments. And this guy (Repub of course) is a member of our branches of federal gov—wow.

He didn’t know what else to do, so he decided to blatantly lie to a building full of people.

We need a separation between Church and Golden State
