I get it, it’s tangentially related to things this site would cover because it’s Pokemon related, but do we really have to keep giving this dude mindshare, not just here, but like, in general? The only reason this guy gets to keep doing the dumb shit he gets to do, while getting even richer, is because everyone keeps…

Because America treats sports like a religion? 

I'm a college professor, and I think sometimes about the shit that coaches get away with that would get me fired in an instant. Why do we tolerate that sort of abuse in sports?

That rotating screen is pretty cool.

In case you haven’t been watching the show, early on, after she’s gone home with an also-hot Guy Pearce, he expresses shock to discover her character is a grandmother, and she responds (paraphrasing here), “Do I fuck like a grandmother?”

Well....those orphans aren't going to crush themselves
