    @avclub-baf3d07b0caa2a06ac0a87695a35610e:disqus Players are dying on the field. Every year, football players die of heat stroke and a few months ago, a top ranked high school player in Georgia collapsed and died after a routine, legal tackle (http://www.myajc.com/news/n…. Football will not lose popularity until there

    My 12 year old has played soccer since he was 5 and did gymnastics for about 4 years. I have seen maybe 2-3 concussions in all of his seasons of soccer. I saw a few injuries in gymnastics, but no head trauma.

    Absolutely. Even in metro Atlanta, football is viewed as a way out. I love watching football, but after my son spent one season in tackle football, I was saddened and sickened by watching parents scream at their kids to hit harder and harder so that they would stand out enough to be recruited for a top middle school

    Finally somebody said it. Now I know I wasn't the only one who heard Nut Tuck every single time. I thought maybe I just watched too much RuPaul's Drag Race.

    My 12 year old gets it - he was outraged that Korra would go to Iroh after the President said no.

    I agree Korra shouldn't be neutral but what bothers me is how dumb she is about everything. I know that Aang was raised by monks which informed his approach to being an Avatar. Clearly Korra's family has a tendency towards aggression which may inform her approach to being an Avatar. As we know from Avatar Kyoshi,

    One of the few things keeping me watching this season is that they are clearly trying to make the point that Korra is an impetuous, immature Avatar and that she is going to learn a lesson.

    @LurkyMcLurkerson:disqus I'd argue that how great things were for you economically also depends how who you were seventy years ago. It's hard for me to be nostalgic for the economy of the 1950s knowing that my grandparents and parents were at the bottom of it.

    "or the collective id of Sterling Cooper And Partners who arrived fully formed due to the subliminal psychic powers of those within its walls."

    I'm wondering if she is referencing a Gone With the Wind themed one in downtown Atlanta.

    I thought Kevin was the hottest by far and I didn't even go for older guys in high school.

    Peggy's been racist and scared of black people. Doesn't make Abe less of a guilty liberal douche.

    Ken already said he doesn't want to be a partner because he doesn't like what you have to do to get it. Also, he's been thinking about leaving - remember the pact with Peggy?

    Betty isn't a great parent, but Betty at least parents her kids. I'm not a Betty fan, but Don and Megan haven't been shown voluntarily spending time with the kids since the end of season 4. They have scheduled visitation (with the exception of Sally skipping the ski trip) and every time the kids are there, they become

    I'm assuming that it's the only thing she knows how to cook. Way to pick a surrogate mother/whore, Don.

    Or she was wearing a wig.

    I think this is the first time I have ever seen an AV Club commenter complain that the reviewer likes the show too much.

    If the writing for those African American characters was as bad as Dawn's scene with her friend, I'm glad they didn't. I don't think that Weiner has put the research or the interest into crafting realistic African American characters in that time period as he has in the main characters and as far as I know, all of the

    Joan's reaction surprised me the least, actually. We saw her act racist to black women she didn't know and wanted to use to humilitate Kinsey. Joan knows and works with Dawn and probably sees her as different from those other black people. So she's racist enough to assume Dawn needs a hug and special treatment but not

    I do find it interesting that Alston didn't cite any of the black criticism, although he mentioned it in passing.
