Counterpoint: Fearless Girl is the creation of the artist Kristen Visbal, which was commissioned by a corporation for their own purposes. But rich people have been benefactors for artists since rich people and artists existed. The Medicis, who essentially created the first financial institution and were generally

I find this entire line of thinking so infuriating. I’m a single woman, and I’m really into sports. A significant part of my social circle is married dudes who I hang out with, often sans wives.

They used to sell out every home game, back when Diana Taurasi was playing and they were still in a good conference. The men’s and women’s teams are on pretty equal footing on campus. Locals and the media pay them equal attention.

Where’s Rod Sellers when you need him?

I write for a sports site in Connecticut that covers UConn and nothing else. At the start of the 2014-2015 season (so the year after both the UConn men and women won their respective national championships), a bunch of ESPN guys came to Gampel to watch/cover the first men’s game (just an exhibition, if I remember
