“You can make an argument that the first generation of girls to have been raised at a time when it’s considered normal (and not tomboyish or something else) for them to be really big sports haven’t aged to a point of being major consumers.”

now that’s good kinja

boom, sources to backup my own response. agreed with you on mensch.

follow Seth Abramson instead, imo. he’s got a bit of a thing against mensch, but her speculation and use of indiscriminate use of the label #teamdemza through me off of her.

It’s a deadspin trope now, posters will continue to out-compete one another with irreverent responses to even worse news over time.

Mine was an uninspiring speech by an executive that I half paid attention too. After that, and before we received our diplomas, the school mentioned that we could all join the alumni association with the first year’s dues waived. I almost booed.

Idk if Toronto will offer him the full max or not. But I have a strong suspicion that this ownership group, seeing their greatest success over the last two seasons since Carter left in disgrace, will offer it. I also think Lowry will stay in Toronto unless they insult him with a disgraceful lowball. But I do not see…

a lot of them are correct.

the reality is that women haven’t cracked the list of top performers and/or teams in most of the e-sports out there.

None of the major leagues are gender-segregated, anybody can try their hand at assembling a team or angling for an offer. Generally speaking, female only e-sports leagues were and are established for the same reason they exist in other sports: women are underrepresented in the discipline and less likely to finish near…

You’d have a difficult time pointing to physical or mental attributes on the individual level which would cause performance disparity, and yet the numbers routinely show that female competitors are (on average) outclassed by their male counterparts. There’s a number of theories for why that might be, but that’s the…

TT vs Clint Capela would be really, really interesting. I’m also thinking LeBron would get defensive sit reps on Harden down the stretch late in games. Houston isn’t a special defensive team and LeBron decides what the pace is going to be, which I believe would be enough to mitigate the Rockets’ offense for 4…

I’m sure there are quite a few examples of this technique but one of my favorite independent American comics, Cerebus, makes use of this style extensively as well. That book was running for ~30 years and ~300 issues, and the later stuff is recognized as either pretty or very controversial, but the art is phenomenal.…

i’m only mad she ever validated the people who were upset hermoine ended up with ron and not harry.

“A lot of people are deeply invested in keeping other people from loving the things that they love. No, I don’t get it, either.”

the dpoys (3x), the all-nba teams (5x 1st, 1x 2nd, 2x 3rd), the all-nba defense (4x 1sts, 1x 2nd), 5x rebounding leader, 2x block leader, 8x all-star, 1x gold medal, and one Finals appearance as the #1.

This game was way, WAY more drab than Vice City and I found the change to be welcome at the time. It’s (relatively) tight focus reminded me very positively of GTA 3 (which was my favorite entry at the time). As someone else mentioned below, the shooting mechanics alone were enough of an improvement to the formula to…

Oladipo is a much better scorer than he showed in this series, so is Kanter, so is even Roberson who, despite being trash at FTs, hit for 50% from deep this series, and only took 14 of them. In fact, removing Kyle Singler from the roster because he’s not actually a player and took 0 shots, Westbrook shot an average of…

i’ve seen dozens of stories on north korea and our own defense capabilities over the last few years and it seems (to my eye at least), like there has been a great shifting in how the media zeitgeist rates both the n.k. regime and american defense capabilities.
