He and Gabby Douglas get dragged, but Michael Phelps laughing was all in good fun? 🤔

The Colin Kaepernick outrage is driving me fucking bananas.

Dear people on my Facebook feed: If you are boycotting Walmart because of how it treated one police officer and not how it treats millions of employees; if you are boycotting the NFL because it tacitly supports not standing for the anthem and not because it tacitly supports rape, domestic violence and traumatic brain…

Yes, I would say so. Unless she didn’t claim it. But at the same time, I really don’t think the settlement was contingent on her donating the money. So, in that case, this doesn’t really seem fair because technically it should be her money to donate, not his. This strikes me as odd and I’m not sure how this can count…

Do you have a relationship with him now?

I wonder how many conservatives can’t see their own hypocrisy as they support something like this while at the same time demanding “religious freedom” laws that allow people to comply with a “sincerely held religious belief?”

Well, clearly he doesn’t think that the lives of women and children matter much. The victim impact statement from the Brock Turner case did not convince him that the destruction of her life warranted any thing that would derail Turner’s. And he clearly is, yes, too stupid to understand that to have child porn at all,…

Women OWNED this Olympics. So many records smashed.

Looking over this comment section it looks like a ton of people somehow misunderstood this entire article.

—Her brothers were allowed to continue with their education—

Quvenzhane’ Wallis is in 8th grade?!? When did that happen?

The whole business feels so forced to me. So far this civil war is as dumb and pointless as the previous one. They’re making the characters go to extremes just for the sake of it. Neither captain marvel, nor Iron man are so blind that they cannot reach an agreement. It’s possible to find an easy middle ground where…

A lot of people on Jezebel love to criticize me for not being an avid Hillary supporter. I will vote for her because she isn't Trump, that doesn't mean she was my first choice. But the reason I don't trust her is that she always seemed willing to let other women's lives be destroyed by her husband so she could advance…

I think we need to apply the Ledecky idea to Simone here. No one else competes, they just give her all three medals, say “thanks”, and go home.

Incredibly beautiful and moving, and she is so lucky to have had the resources (financial, social, political, emotional) to have been able to do that.

Because there is a performative aspect to gymnastics that most other Olympic sports, aside from figure skating, lack. You are a tiny person in a vast arena of people. While what they are doing looks massive on TV, when the frame is tightly cropped in, it is fairly easy to get distracted away from it when you are in…

Joe Posnanski and now this article have made me really interested specifically in the scoring of gymnastics. Just the whole rubric of grading based on difficulty is so novel relative to other ways we score things.

How much do you want to bet Simone is going to jump up like crazy in the baby name chart?
