DEFINITELY the latter. I can’t imagine even that writer walked out of the movie going “Hmm, Detroit didn’t explicitly state her opinion on the progressive tax rate, I wonder if she’s a Republican??”

The statement that we “don’t learn what her politics are” might be the most insane complaint I’ve ever heard.

1) The USSF already pays the full salary for every woman on the USWNT. USWNT is a money-maker for USSF - NWSL *decidedly* is not. Every dollar that USSF spends subsidizing NWSL (which they are under no obligation to do) is a loss for USSF. Spending money covering another entity’s expenses with no hope of recouping…

Yes, USSF’s job is not to maximize profit, but it also has no obligation to subsidize a professional league, yet does so anyway. NWSL’s problems are not going to be fixed with a few million dollars in a one time payment, and regardless of what USSF’s surplus is, they can’t afford to eat tens of millions of dollars in…

They pay the salaries for all of the league’s best best players, and manage the office (and associated costs). Every dollar they put into it is essentially a donation.

The entire league exists because of the US Soccer Federation’s money. How much more money do they have to put in to keep a league, which is completely unable to sustain itself, afloat before they are putting their money where their mouth is?

This is a very, very confusing list.

Then saying “his career wasn’t ruined” is completely disingenuous as a response to the statement “his career shouldn’t be ruined” if you, personally, believe that it should be “ruined”

And you think it’s wrong that he’s getting his job back with “no consequences”, yes?

“Going full rampage without knowing all the facts” is something that could easily be applied to Deadspin/Gizmodo as well, in many cases.

Even the religious aspect was strange to me. I certainly understand why he might be angry if his boyfriend’s church was Catholic or something else with deeply homophobic views, but a lot of new age churches are very tolerant, and teach the positive New Testament parts of the bible rather than the cherry picked Old…

Her snub is a major, major oversight that someone needs to handle.

Honestly I was just so floored to see the $1 billion figure I had to do a little extra research on it.

The $1 billion valuation was based on an effort to sell 20% of the combined Fusion Media Group for $200 million... with no takers. Selling the whole company, while desperate, in an even worse landscape, will go for substantially less than $1 billion.

I haven’t seen The Handmaid’s Tale, but as well regarded as it is I find it highly unlikely that the third-best supporting actress on that show was better than Villanelle. Jodie Comer absolutely made Killing Eve (which also should have been an easy nom for Best Drama).

It was the sequel, which had already come out, but which the director explicitly said (well before the controversy) that he didn’t read because he didn’t want anything from the later books to influence the movie.

I love traveling, but in my experience most people who list that as a primary interest don’t love traveling, they love posting pictures of the places they traveled to.

I have no idea whether or not Ben Tollitt is a fan of Pool Boys, because all this article otherwise talks about is Liverpool and never explains what “Pool Boys” are.  And they sure as hell are not is Liverpool.

I’m not arguing with what you’re trying to say, just pointing out that you contradicted yourself within the same sentence. And then your response was just two completely new points.

European soccer obviously has a major inequality issue, but considering that two of the teams you just called the “4 teams [that] have a chance to win” finished 5th and 6th last year, I think this is may be a case of stumbling onto the right point while having no idea what you’re talking about.
