Hey everyone, relevant to your interests:

i wanted to turn this in to the Deadspin Lost & Found Department. Can I just leave it here? 

I appreciate the commentariat keeping the email address alive. Despite the original post requesting respectful feedback, I fear I may have strayed from that directive. The terms “sackless cowards” and “kindly fuck off” may have been used.

I have no regrets. 

Hey, let’s talk about how G/O media are such gutless scum that they took down all of the posts across the kinjaverse about how awful the autoplaying videos are and how to contact the ownership about it.

Arsenal fans, probably because they are unfamiliar with managerial change, have yet to fully turn on the manager, and instead have made Xhaka—a damn good player whom Emery does no favors with the team’s playing style and line-up decisions—the focus of their ire. The players, however, are less blind and reportedly are…

damn, true

counterpoint: fuck the cubs

I love how usually the first people to go after a women’s appearance is almost always a guy who looks like Dana White or Donald Trump

Yes, my favorite was the Chinese woman who was the 400IM winner in the 2012 games. Her final 50 freestyle was faster than everyone in the men’s field, even Ryan Lochte, who won the gold medal (and set the 2nd fastest time ever in the event).

I really hope Patrick responds to your question. He lost me with that comment as well.

Swimming nerd here - It’s been sort of a thing, but nowhere near this level. Lilly King, mentioned above as being outspoken in this case and others, has had a semi-feud with Russian rival and person with a “Doping Scandals” section of her Wikipedia page Yulia Efimova for a few years. (It peaked with a literal finger…

“Pro cheater" is a weird hill.

What the fuck is with that editorializing line at the end?

Other Olympic medalists, like Lilly King and Dawn Fraser, have also called out Sun for being allowed to continue racing after an odd incident with drug testers last September that ended with Sun’s bodyguards destroying vials of blood.

“I hope they let him race at the Tokyo Olympics and continue talking shit to people who can’t beat him.”

Hiking Everest should not, in fact, be a thing.

I love boxing, but boxing probably shouldn’t be a thing.

It’s not even a Level I trauma center. For comparison, when McKenzie Milton suffered his leg injury against USF last year, they took him to the Level I Tampa General, even though a Level II was across the street from the stadium. And that was for a leg injury.

Note to self: If an experienced person tells you to stop doing something because there is a high likelihood of injury or death, listen.

Who would have thought being punched repeatedly in the head could have negative consequences?
