Thanks for the links. I don’t think I can let Sally go just yet. But I can see how these columns fall into the lazy CC-as -white-saviour of the WNBA coverage that’s infuriating. Whether she means to or not, she feeds the rabid racist machine. Just read some of the wapo comments.

Well that sucks. I’m not standing up for the Atlantic. And how trans people are treated in this country is repulsive. But I don’t see how we even begin to fix things if we can’t even communicate with people who are supposed to be on the same side.

Thank you for giving me a serious answer. I can see that. I hadn’t thought about it as collaboration before. It’s insidious.

Because she’s a great writer, and all this anger isn’t warranted, even if she “asked” for it. Bluesky is getting to be like all the other platforms. Just nasty. And I know, I know, I should just go put my head in an oven and die for wishing it weren’t so.

Yes. Most of your links are to FB & Twitter/X. I agree with most of what you say, I just really don’t see Sally Jenkins warranting the inclusion. And I would subscribe to your newsletter, but I’m old & poor.

I don’t understand why this is such a big deal—the article, not BWeiss & CBS. I read it last week, raised an eyebrow, and moved on. What about it is making everyone so angry?

I didn’t mean that. Read the comments on Sally’s thread. They’re pretty gross.

Track stars, runners & long jumpers, but it’s quite beautiful. I don’t know how they do it. Agree re: the stringy, sweaty. Ick.

When did Sally say any of that?

A bit of an overreaction.

This thread doesn’t sound critical. It sounds hostile and personal.

hagiographic? She said they were friends. Are they not permitted to be friends?

Good grief. I love Sally Jenkins & Caitlin Flanagan. They are great writers, regardless of whether I “agree” with an article or not. All this vitriol…smh.

My favorite movie. Alan Parker outdid himself. DK’s portrayal of depression was the most honest I’d ever seen on screen. I love Albert Finney so much too. This movie and Stanley Donen’s Two for the Road with Finney and Audrey Hepburn are devastating portraits of 20th Century marriage.

@nytimes.com has apparently been on another planet for 4 years, and just discovered all the racism & sexism that swamps the internet about the #wnba. And then proceeds to regurgitate it! Quoting Clay Travis as a reputable source? Boooooooo.
