Will Richards necessarily go? They had him for $2 million this year.

Starlet?

Dry and sweet?

I don’t think you’re being the pretentious one.

Not in American news/sportswriting style. Read any style book. Or look how they do it with all other sports. It’s a British thing, and in this case, an affectation. And sometimes, like a person faking a Brit accent and being woken up in the middle of the night, they forget (Previousl they used plural verb with USMNT):

They do it to sound like soccer sophisticates. Why they have to employ what is basically British style on an American site, I can’t explain, but I can’t explain why Deadspin singles out soccer matches among all sports for lengthy earnest coverage.

Duncan Keith is an amazing iron man, but he is also a cheap shot artist.

Paul Konerko would have done the final scamper successfully.

Not if you go full British you don’t!

It’s not so much “media outlets” as Deadspin. You won’t catch the Associated Press or New York Times doing this. Reminds me of an Anglo guy in a Taco Bell I heard giving the full Mexican to the pronunciation of “burrito.” They think it makes them sound more knowledgeable. Throw around “pitch,” “kit,” and “side” and…

No, they use it when people insist that others adjust what they say to accommodate their sensitivities. It happens on campuses all the time—as in speech codes and shout-downs.

Is she of European descent, though?

It’s because it’s mainly the left that doesn’t like Jews, who don’t qualify as being “the Other.” Palestinians and Muslims are much cooler!

It doesn’t change the fact that political correctness has a stifling grip on what can be said at college campuses today.

Because the work narcissistic and idiotic. In other words, bad art.

In other words, this piece makes no sense and appears to be a sophomoric indulgent, but it might be good, though I can’t tell.

“with pretensions to art that you might expect of someone who’s not very mature for her age.”

Love the ‘probably.’

Now that she has graduated, she needs to keep being part of the story. As long as there are people who indulge her, she will be, though the off-campus world is a tougher market.

I always stop reading at “agency.”
