Lacrosse always seems to me like the worst kind of cultural appropriation. I live in Virginia and here it’s mostly played by white suburban females in little short skirted uniforms. Ugh. I refuse to watch it, even if the local university team IS ranked #4 nationally. And the treatment of the Native teams in SD goes…

They are not NEARLY as bad as Dick Button and Peggy Fleming, who made me want to throw something at the TV to shut them up. I used to wish there was some way to shut up the commentary and still hear the music.

I think Johnny was jealous that it wasn’t him doing the skating!

Evgenia has a BIG and delightful personality and it comes out on the ice. Alina doesn’t seem to have one yet. Give me Evgenia every time!

I thought biathlon was a little weird until I met a woman who was in the US Olympic Development Program and was going through Army basic with my son. She was an amazing athlete who could run with the front pack of the guys and shoot rings around everyone. She didn’t win an Olympic medal but was on two US teams and now…

They need to GTFO. Yesterday. Also the entires gymnastics coaching staff and the entire training staff, anyone who had anything to do with that scum Nassar, and anyone who was told anything about him by any athlete. Period.

Ol’ Roo doesn’t want them covering the sorts of things he’s done and enjoyed.

And Saltine-Americans will go after the Dixie Chicks for “Goodbye Earl”, claiming it glorifies murdering men for beating their wives....

Do we know yet what happened to him?

I think Kim basically has a good heart, she just had a shitty upbringing and no education at all. Children learn what they live, after all. Now she’s seeing that and she doesn’t want hers to grow up with the mores she did.

Well, that’s Russia for you. Women are, and always will be, second class citizens, and whatever happens to them will always be their fault.

Wait for the third shoe....these things always happen in threes. Darren Daulton, Don Baylor, and.............

Proving once again that the Christian Right is neither....

I had a friend who called CPS on behalf of herself because her stepdad was sexually abusing her. She was placed in the home of an evangelical preacher who apparently got his jollies from trying to get her to recount her abuse in juicy detail. When she told her social worker, that person’s response was essentially, you…

You’ve said this twice now, and I wanna know WHERE you are talking about, because it sure isn’t anyplace I’ve lived, and I’ve had some dealings with ACS, or DCS, or whatever else you want to call it. Not only once on behalf of my child, but as a nurse on behalf of some others. And it’s been overwhelmingly white women…

In WHAT jurisdiction is it “primarily women of color”? Not in my area, for sure, or anyplace I’ve lived.

I’m older than a lot of you, but not THAT old. Still....both of my ex-husbands have died. My best guy friend from high school and my off-and on boyfriend from the end of that time have both died also. My first serious boyfriend is still living and we are good friends though we live across the country from one another.…

The only reason I ever watched Twin Peaks at all was for the episodes with the One-Armed Man. I had dated the actor years before when we lived in the same city. It was cool and little creepy to see him play the part.

There hasn’t been a proper Henry Tudor since Keith Michell. The one in The Tudors was completely unbelievable, being a brunette. Henry VIII was a strawberry blonde. It’s documented. And BTW, Catherine of Aragon also had red hair, auburn, I believe. That too is documented.

Look at the elite gymnasts who elect not to participate internationally but stay focused on their education and compete at the college level. They are small, but tend to be built differently...more muscular and rounded, much more womanly, just in a smaller package. Watch NCAA gymnastics sometime. It’s different.
