And half of U2.

She clearly said “guy”

It’s totally possible for a man who hasn’t abused his other lovers to abuse his current one.

Because it doesn’t fit the narrative. There is far more interest in the narrative than in the truth.

I’m so sick of the Johnny Depp apologists.... but Vanessa Paradis has every right to stand up and say what she said. I assume that a lot of people are probably now asking her if he was abusive towards her.

You would need to first have girl’s youth baseball and pretty much get rid of softball. While the essential skills and strategies do translate playing overhand fast pitch with a ball that’s 1/3 the size would make it really hard to put on a show worth paying to see.

Deadspin commenter here, there is regrettably no professional major league women’s baseball league. There are many sports fans who feel that baseball offers the best chance for gender equality in the sport if someone would just draft a darn girl. Softball is the related sport that is female dominated in the US. ESPN…

I have looked for the historic root of this very strange situation, and I have never found the reasoning. As a veteran ball player, I want to note that softball is way fucking harder on your body than baseball, and way less entertaining to play. You don’t get the distance off a softball that you get out of a hardball…

There is in Japan, though.

Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain “Eight Men Out” Landis voided pitcher Jackie Mitchell’s minor league contract in 1932 on the grounds that baseball was “too strenuous” for women. A definitive ban on women in the major and minor leagues followed soon afterward. (Mitchell, whose neighbor and mentor was Hall of…

No, it is not. It sucks. Girls can play on boys baseball teams in a lot of places & leagues, but that’s not good enough. I was just talking to my mother the other day about this, on seeing my nieces softball photo she had on her fridge. They don’t even get full “uniforms” like her brothers have, they get gym shorts,…

its her shtick, talking about booze a lot, otherwise she is not funny. Sometimes she reminds of SNL Drunk girl at the party, you wish you haven’t started conversation with.

He got shot breaking into an apartment. Kicked down two doors at 3 in the morning. What did he think would happen?

And how do you think Katie Nolan would respond if one of her coworkers was publicly lobbying for her time slot?

I have seen both men and women make questionable accusations of Domestic Violence against each other in the context of divorce cases. If she made the accusation that he gave her a bruise when he wasn’t even in town that does raise a credibility concern.

Fair point.

People don’t get sober by ultimatums. And if that was an issue, she must’ve known about it 15 months ago. I hope this lady doesn’t get any of his money. Would be a total shame.

I know there’s a comic book villain billionaire out to destroy Gawker Media, and y’all lost a motion in court yesterday so you’re probably having an all hands on deck meeting with staff... but that really is no excuse to delay Dirt Bag.

I wrestle with the conflicting beliefs that A) women are often coerced through violence and intimidation to go against their own values in the interest of self-preservation so I will give this story the benefit of the doubt and B) These are exactly the lies I would tell if I got caught committing a terrible crime if…

So many lies. And didn’t “Law and Order” do this scenario years ago? Yeah, they did. The female defendant was working the same “They raped me into helping them steal and then hang out with them for a bunch of time when they decided to do it again so I’d pick up supplies to help them murder a former co-worker”.
