I did not expect that to be so adorable.
These Williams wins made me very happy. I feel like either outcome is a positive one. If Venus wins, that will be a heartwarming return to glory and Serena should have other chances for a Slam win. If Serena wins (a more likely outcome), she sets a grand record for most wins in the Open era and Venus will still…
One of the greatest American stories ever told. Two sisters from Compton excelling on and of the court.
Venus is very happy, and I’m happy, too, because she’ll be playing her sister in the final.
Needed that happiness and joy after the last week.
Best I can tell, the only precedent for a Grand Slam final gap like this one is Thelma Coyne Long, who played in the final of (what was then called) the Australian Championships in 1940 and didn’t play another until 1951.
Maybe instead of being so defensive, you should listen to the huge number of readers of yours who this has angered. Also, the reason you give here is pretty nonsensical. “Yes, let’s deliberately spoil the movie to get LESS revenue from the article!” That’s not how media companies work.
Not so. Only reason I clicked was to express discontent over the spoiler. Because if I knew there was a spoiler I wouldn't have clicked
Here’s the deal. I don’t even go to the concourse or deadspin. I was on io9 and saw the link to this article. So I agree with the other posts, this article should have been named something different or waited maybe a bit longer than 3-4 days. Some of us work full time and go to school AND have finals. Not all of us…
Also, as an added bonus, this is now one of the “tending” things, so it just pops up on the left of all gawker media sites.
So, a more precise headline that contains no spoilers is a bad choice because it would generate more traffic.
Continue to dig your heels into the ground and refuse to admit that people have legitimate grounds to be upset. This is good kinja.
Bullshit. That title with “(SPOILERS)“ attached to the end would have avoided anyone not wanting to know about the movie yet having it rammed down their throat. You guys fucked up, and to top it off, you’re being a dick about it.
Bravo. Truly. Just.. Bravo.
And that wouldn’t have been a spoiler, and our fault for clicking on it. We knew that the article would spoil the movie, but anyone who didn’t care would have clicked on it.
So you pissed a bunch of people off AND made less money?
Listen. I like The Concourse. It does some great things with film culture commentary. This article is not one of those things. If you guys want to troll, go play LoL.
The way that you are defending it makes it crystal clear that the article’s title was a deliberate attempt to drive page views by people upset about the embedded spoiler.
Samer, maybe you should grow up and learn from your co-workers at io9 and Kotaku. They avoid crap like this.
Hey, maybe if I wasn’t normally such a fan of the site that I follow it on Twitter and Facebook so that the spoiler title had an extra two chances to do its work, it wouldn’t be such a big deal. No reason to be a dick about it, particularly when the article doesn’t exist for any reason other than to be a spoiler.
