She pretty quickly turns it from a review to an opinion piece when she starts talking about knee-jerk assumptions and sexist judgements, and media under-reporting the REAL story. Once you start criticizing people for how they viewed the case without this “context”, refusing to at least hint at what that context is…

I don’t necessarily think the similarity is superficial, just that there are some key differences. I know when someone has an actual personal experience it can be a lot tougher to objectively view a something that’s similar but not identical.

that is specially dangerous and awful when we are talking about the vilification of a young girl, whose life and future will be defined not only by this case, but by the hatred that will follow her (for who knows how long) because of the case.

Pretty telling that Katie repeatedly mentions that the doc shows “context” but never actually says what it is!

You keep mentioning this “context” that somehow makes Carter look like less of a psychopath than she does via the actual evidence. Well, what’s the context then??

A biker who ignores road laws and rides against the right of way into oncoming traffic, and gets hit and dies, is the one caused the fatality, even if it’s their own.

“It’s like saying to Pavarotti, teach me, to sing like you.”

George’s story might be the best scene in any episode and I was shocked Caitlin didn’t mention that.

I would bet every dollar I have that Solo is on the Trump train.

3) Put the beer down and protect your fucking kid.

Did he pick college because he was drafted in the 38th round, or was he drafted in the 38th round because he’d already picked college? I assume he’d have gone much, much higher if teams thought they’d have a chance to sign.

How many USMNT games are Jonathan Lovitz or Duane Holmes going to take part in this year? They’d probably be happy to take the guaranteed $73k a USWNT player locks in their first game of the year.

Yeah the Hannibal quip was extremely weird, both because of everything you said and because there was an actual bi character on the show who was definitely not portrayed as evil or untrustworthy.

And the newly minted $400 million player, who had no red flags, is living up to his contract. Someone should tell Deadspin that it’s not so much that every team is super cheap now and more that they realize the massive risk that huge contracts carry for non-first ballot HOF level players?

If you watch those two videos and honestly think the only difference is the race of the players, you are a fucking idiot.

I’m not even sure it was a party line until Burneko moved the goalposts for the 20th time rather than let his awful take fade away. I doubt Barry - one of the few people left at Deadspin who’d rather be a writer than a taek artist - even really believes it, as compared to including a line to throw a bone to Burneko,…

Burneko called someone stupid and dishonest because they didn’t agree that the difference in value between a number 4 pick and an unknown, potentially non-lottery pick can be made up with a couple Lakers bench players. All in service of a argument - that the Pelicans could have negotiated this same deal in February…

For a professional contrarian you have some extraordinarily thin skin. Maybe you should work on that, or at least try having fewer takes which were as easy to pick apart as this god awful one.

This is such a weird straw man people keep throwing out there. The game already happened - we already know that most of the goals and celebrations weren’t by players scoring their first World Cup goal!

You don’t even need the hypothetical. City beat Burton Albion 9-0 in the first leg of a cup tie like last year and there were plenty of calls that they ran the score up. And Burton is a professional team - the gap in that game wasn’t even close to the gap in this one.
