In terms of jokes they are as offended and thin skinned as one of those old church ladies stereotypes. As soon as somebody is mean or offensive , it’s lambasted in a way that those church ladies would do about the material. I knew after seeing the response that there would be comments about how Ross Mathews is better…

He funny but he’s mean so in Jezebel he’s immediately the devil and Ross the greatest stand up because this place at times is the equivalent of the left version of ABC family type of stuff of “never make anything that can be even slightly offensive and not safe for everyone”.

No that’s not correct at all. They go thru because of their wins today.

A win puts them through. They would have 4 points and Costa Rica needs to win by 5 goals against Colombia to even have a positive GD and that’s not happening.

Yeah but if you compare the level in women soccer around the world, most of them are at the level of those tiny island nation. So they actually face teams in the same level constantly or even worse (since they face those same island nations since both are in CONCACAF).

Chill out. Spain can also say they won the world cup and the last 2 euros. You complain about the women picking and choosing their numbers and then do the same.

I don’t know how you can say you know football and say they are a utter shithole when they have gone to back to back round of 16. If anything their struggles recently with Klinnsmann is a show of that because it’s far from the norm based on their recent success in a tougher field.

They do produce nearly the same revenue at best. They might be the only WNT that does so.

The USSF isn’t the government but a private entity.

The USWNT brings more money than the USMNT not women soccer. And it’s only on certain years because they have a lot less opportunities because Men soccer is a juggernaut compared to women soccer worldwide.

The other team would get automatic 3-0 wins if they forfeit.

That’s not true either. Neither NT is subsidized, the only thing would be the women’s league. I think he’s confused but so are you. If any NT subsidizes the USMNT it’s the Mexican National team.

His arguments were BS and people are really giving him a pass because he was calm. Devin Faraci (who I have a lot of issues with) had a great takedown but almost nobody has pointed out what to be pushes it to sexist undertones is the fact he uses the Star Trek reboot as an example of how to do things right. What’s the…

This all started with George Lucas. I don’t like a lot of the changes but the whole “people vs George Lucas” bullshit lead us to stuff like this. The Angry Nerd’s bullshit video to me was the tipping point on the Ghostbusters trailer for me.

That’s the argument they have used and I just point to the fact the Pixels trailer has a positive rating. It’s a bad trailer but it’s not the worst trailer out there.

There were a lot of comments here in Jezebel when they said they were going to reboot Labyrinth. I’m totally in agreeance that this is based on misogyny with Ghostbusters (as well as having a lot of fights because of it) but people shouldn’t act as if this whole rigid nostalgia thing is unique or just happened now.

Not on Jezebel/Gawker. If anything it’s the total opposite and people start criticizing that people are going to excuse it with mental illness when because they are white.

LA face with an Oakland booty is a lyric from Baby Got Back. She was quoting it.

I was also 17 when I graduated (although not in the US, it’s the same system).

As stupid as comparing Kirkman and her personal experience to being like Ted Cruz. The excuse they used to publish the sex tape was that he mentioned it in interviews, just as your excusing Jezebel trying to paint Kirkman as a victim because she mentioned it in a podcast when she said to drop it and that it wasn’t the…
