Yes, because it can only be of one thing.

Yes, the “cruel and exploitative press” who lauded her for her BLM stance and gained her record winnings and sponsorships in the last year, about whom TODAY Osaka said “The tennis press has always been kind to me (and I wanna apologize especially to all the cool journalists who I may have hurt).”

Exactly. If she doesn’t play in the grand slams, she’ll lose not only the majority of her earning but also sponsorships. These events have been around for 150+ years in some cases. There are other star players on the tour, more and less successful than her, who all follow the rules of the sport. If you can’t commit to…

Yes, good for her for doing what she needed to do to take care of her mental health. The other part...not exactly. “They” are the industry that pays her, and the professional tennis money-machine is a heck of a lot bigger than any one person. It would be a shame to lose such a great talent, and it might affect profits…

Of course Osaka’s background is a huge component of her prominence. Do you is just because of chance that she is a bigger start in the frame that Simone Halep, current number three in rankings, ever was? You can argue it shouldn’t in the ideal world, but unfortunatenly it does.

This is one of those situations where I don’t quite know how I feel about it. I mean her leaving the tournament and the sport for a while to focus on her mental health if she feels that is what she needs is a completely right decision and I hope that she gets in to a place where she is able to get better.

She was never going to win anyway, and she knows it. Which is why she tried this here and not, say, the US or Australian Opens, or Wimbledon. She’s weakest on clay. If she wants to change the rules, she needs to form an alliance with other players and try to negotiate a change.

Not to defend Disney, but he was very anti-Nazi. Half the WW2 propaganda cartoons in the US were made by Disney. Donald Duck punched out Hitler several times. What he was was anti-semitic and I think it’s an important distinction to make. It keeps “Nazi” from loosing its seriousness as a word and idea and promotes the…

So, I get all of the love for Waititi. I love his work, and I feel like he’s a good person, from what I’ve seen. I enjoy his wit, a lot.

Why is this reporter & everyone in these comments taking the British tabloid press at their word?

Given Waititi is Thompson’s director and her boss, this feels like a huge issue.

Noone else is going to call bullshit on this?

Just look for whoever rips off a pharmacy for insulin next, and you’ve got your thieves. 

The movie has a couple bits that made me laugh, and one of them is when a newscast is discussing the President deciding to nuke Vegas on the 4th of July, and though they don’t explicitly name Trump, the President is quoted as saying a nuclear explosion on July 4th will be “pretty cool” and “actually kind of patriotic…

Spicer on screen turned my stomach more than any of the gore.  FUCK Spicer, he needs to be unceremoniously forgotten forever. 

Snyder’s merits are few and far between, but none of them are things that other directors can’t also do, while simultaneously being better then he is at the things he’s bad at, which is most of them.

Still doesn’t excuse giving Sean Spicer, a fascist collaborator, money to do a two minute scene that could have easily been done by any dumpy looking white man and probably for less money.

The tone hear makes it sound like you would settle for nothing less than 30 minutes of male on male penetration in order to signify someone’s sexual preference in children’s movie set in 1970s London.

I can’t help but wonder if any of the women received compensation for their stage names being used as Stefani’s album title

At some point we’re going to start yelling at white people cosplaying as anime characters at conventions for insufficient woke-ness, aren’t we?
