“it is illegal for you not to like me”
This is the logical and inevitable conclusion of the last decade of elite media "free speech" discourse.

October-7th and what followed have radicalized me very hard against ethnonationalism. Just legions of people on every side who should and absolutely do know better saying “ok but [attrocity] is good when it’s us tho” and being taken seriously for some reason. Fuck your blood and fuck your soil.
I read Just and Unjust Wars and it’s so funny how much of his stuff post-October 7 is him saying things he said were wrong in his book are okay when Israel does it

I’m going to be feral when they fuck up the Women’s World Cup broadcasts in 2027
Netflix has such a schizophrenic broadcast, just randomly cutting in a Manningcast interview with Barry Sanders because it sounded cool to someone at HQ but they still try to keep going on with color and PBP inbetween. Dreadful day if they get a bigger stake of NFL games

This is a really good point that I had not run into before: these "creators" have no further insight into their alleged creation than the average audience member and that is why it cannot be called art (besides all the other obvious reasons).

At some point you must conclude that the NWSL Board of Governors do not watch soccer
So, if you’re an NWSL GM, you are not allowed to decide yourself — using all of the tools of a pro team’s front office — that a Player has a High-enough Impact to warrant a certain salary. But you *are* allowed to vote on a list that would determine that that Player has a High-enough Impact.
Sure.
Sure.
The ESPN FC top 50 is here and we need to talk about the sudden conflict of interest the league has created with the high-impact player rule.
With coaches and GMs weighing in on these lists, they can influence whether or not their players can get a bag.

This is only slightly less offensive, and still way too skewed to the USWNT. If I'm Emma, I'm calling each owner personally to cuss them out. Why are you making your broke behavior MY problem?
Per an NWSL spokesperson:
The criteria for top 11 in USWNT minutes is not cumulative and can be accomplished in either of the previous two years.

This, my friends, is backdoor union-busting by the NWSL. HIP basically strips agency and gains because players will feel pressure to perform through injury/health/personal matters so they don’t lose a spot on an arbitrary list. #nwsl
Also, the criteria seems to disadvantage players who take significant time off due to injury, pregnancy, or mental health.
