UGGGH WHAT A CLOWNFUCKER

The three boys who attacked Pott settled a civil suit with her parents in 2015, and part of that settlement was agreeing to be filmed for this documentary.

So... what, she did it to study? Because that makes less than no goddamned sense at all.

Including rifle shooters?

I googled those names assuming they were from a movie, because that of course is the only place “Steele Johnson” could exist.

You are a goddamned hero.

The gym I go to is on a basement floor, and I’ve tripped over those tiny-ass steps so many times after a workout that now I actually focus on the first few every time up so I can get my timing down.

Sufficiently Jezebel + Olympics + Team Sex appropriate?

Even “better” than reading it: Having it read to you while trying to focus on the road.

It’s not even the rules- they’re largely the same. Part of it is the smaller softball field, but I’m sure a woman could adapt to that readily enough. Softball uses a much larger ball, though, and spending your life practicing throwing and hitting one, then switching to the other to play at the highest levels... that’s…

I’d have more faith in the idea if there were more players like Ichiro running around. Everyone loves homers, though.

I submit Shannon Szabados into evidence:

If the U.S. starts treating soccer like a major league sport, I think that’s totally plausible. I would have loved to see a prime Abby Wambach smashing against the boys.

Maybe. I think Coppola is wrong, though, to say, “(Baseball is) the one major sport in which weight and strength come less into play.” With the specific exception of a knuckleballer, hockey goalies really need the least in terms of weight and strength. Knuckleballs are tough to master, though, and even tougher to live…

She might be good enough for a scholarship if women’s baseball was a college sport. Softball is different enough that her skills may well not transfer to the point that she would be worth a scholarship. And, yeah, a college baseball team could take her, but to be honest independent leagues have always been more…

It’s a shame not enough people are going to understand why that’s funny.

The quote shows 168 black and Latino students with equal or better grades than Fisher who didn’t get in. That doesn’t include white students with equal or better grades who didn’t get in, or anyone with worse grades. So the number of denials would be substantially higher.

Because the situation seems considerably less likely to result in living that long.
