I mean, after the match, people were literally calling her THE MOST CLASSY ATHLETE OF ALL TIME. After throwing a tantrum at the ref and calling him a thief because he correctly penalized her. What fucking planet are we all living on? I mean, sure, she has been unfairly criticized, but is the way to solve that just…

Counterpoint:

She is not unfairly criticized and has a history of abusing match officials.

2009 is a classic (start at the 14:20 mark), of course, but I am also partial to the 2011 variety:
“After what she thought was a controversial call against her, Williams went into a tirade against chair umpire Eva Asderaki, …

... She’s all class because her terrible behavior ruined Osaka’s first GS win, but she tried to make it somewhat better after the fact?

Can we please stop with the Serena worship? She’s a titan of tennis, a superb athlete, but she’s not without flaws, without her faults. She’s petulant, and this isn’t the first or worst instance of abusing an official in her career.

No anecdote has ever summed up Wu’s hammer-nail philosophy as well as this one.

Soooo many great performances- one of my all-time faves.

You’re right that crime happens and we all expect that. But this is entirely preventable crime - people that shouldn’t be here adding to the total robberies/murders/other above and beyond what would be expected from our population. It’s extra crime that is preventable by securing the border.

On one hand, it sucks that he got fired. On the other, i have a hard time feeling bad about it. Twitter and social media has been used to similar effect against other people, and there has never been this much support for the victim before. In fact there was certainly all kinds of support for the firing of the person…

Still one of my favorite things ever posted on Deadspin. From the 2014 WYTS:

As a Chiefs fan, I’m so so glad a Chiefs fan working on the construction of the new stadium buried a Chiefs Kingdom flag under the stadium

I don’t know about that. He would have been in much hotter water today from the Jeff Garcia gay thing than he was then.

The tweets were not racist; they were jokes about white people, which is a different thing that is not racism.

Making jokes about white people isn’t the same as making racist jokes about black people, or Asian people, or Jews, or gay people, or any other historically oppressed minority.

America has also lost five million manufacturing jobs since 2000. The Daily News layoffs affected 40 people yet seem to have spawned 400,000 Very Important Takes from every dip ship on Twitter who was dumb enough to get a print journalism degree (yours truly included).

I think the loss of journalism jobs was inevitable. I hate the term “market correction”, because it’s douchey and what-not, but I think journalism employment was a bubble, just like so many other fields. It sucks for the people who built their careers doing NEWSROOM JOURNALISM, but some of those folks refused to…

Yes, you missed the part where the Jewish people existed there for 3,200 years, before they were raped and slaughtered by Romans and Muslims several thousand years later.

There are examples on both sides. I’m sure Samantha Bee and Joy Ann Reid are happy they have special protection.

You all started this trend of burning people at the stake for what they say and you’re pissed that it happens to you?

The fuck? As much as a scumbag Mayweather is, he didn't goad this dude into murder/suicide. Judging from the lyrics from 2010, the ideation had been going on for a long time.
