Let’s not overlook how it always seems to be black women targeted either.
a thought chain one - chappaquidditch two - actually chappaquiddick is prolly a native american name, do us wizards even play quidditch three - ofc not, native wizards invented soccer so us wizards probably play rollerball or some bullshit four - nobody in the wizarding world really uses brooms except as specialized transportation bc as soon as you turn 17 you can just instantly teleport anywhere in the world at will with no apparent risk of beaming into a wall or telefragging someone (on the assumption that apparating works like portkeying and if you practice enough to get past the nausea and disorientation, you're guiding yourself into a place not just 'appearing' there), making harry's firebolt the equivalent of sirius giving him a really tricked out penny farthing five - the students aren't supposed to fly around even hogwarts grounds on brooms either, let alone england, so the only reason hogwarts teaches broom usage is bc brooms are important sports equipment for the quidditch team six - we can't hire a proper (defense against the dark) arts teacher this year bc we have to build a new quidditch stadium and poach beauxbaton's head coach, or we're not gonna beat durmstrang in the championships

PLAY OF THE GAME

Masculinity is so fragile that a man can’t handle even one woman being better than him at something. This is probably because coaches they’ve had in the past said “like a girl” as an insult.

if you want some bullshit to make you mad look at the pay discrepancies b/w what male athletes get paid compared to female athletes
i just read an article about how the Australian national women’s soccer team has a pay raise coming “down the pipe” or w/e and it mentioned that if they were to make the final in the Women’s World Cup they would literally get less money than the men’s team would for a single group stage game
i mean i know sports are bullshitty in how women are treated but to see it spelled out like that is still a head trip

But it may be that they’ve got a better sense of proportion about the trickiness of offside, yet still consider it to be beyond any woman’s intellectual grasp. If that’s the case, they must spend most of their lives looking around in horrified bewilderment. They think women are imbeciles and yet there women are, walking around, wearing clothes, holding down jobs, being allowed to vote – driving around in cars, for God’s sake! Gray and Keys must be terrified.
The thing that I find so fascinating about this case is that these two idiots seem to genuinely believe women can’t grasp the offside rule. Not even a woman whose entire career is built on understanding the rules of football.
It’s not quantum physics, boys.

The Weekend
On Saturday, the Olympics brings us the men's curling finals, the bronze medal men's hockey game, bobsled, slalom skiing, pursuit speed skating, snowboarding, and 30 km cross-country skiing. And then on Sunday, there's /50 km/ cross-country skiing, and the gold medal men's hockey game. And then, after that, the stupid boring Olympics are /finally over/ and we can go back to not pretending to give a shit about dinky Winter Olympic sports for another four years, until it matters again in 2014 in Sochi, Russia, and we all start worrying about whether or not Canada's penis medal count is respectable enough and whether or not the IOC will ever really like us in the Summer Games way ever again. And you know what? Six months from now, we'll learn that some athlete or another was totally on super drugs and their medal will be stripped away, and we'll get another round of moralizing from people who should just shut up forever about "what this means for Olympic competition," who won't say things like how black guys were stripped of their medals for having the temerity to raise their fists when they got those medals, or how everybody bent over backwards to suck Hitler's dick when the Games went to Berlin, or how we cheerfully ignored scads of human rights abuses so that Beijing could host an Olympic Games because the Olympics are ultimately about the politicization of amateur sport in all the worst possible ways, and everybody's willing to look the other way until they aren't, and "until they aren't" only applies to individual athletes and not the people making money off them. Certainly it doesn't apply to the president of the International Olympic Committee, who promised everybody that the Beijing Olympics wouldn't be censored right up until, hey whoops, it turned out they'd get censored, but he was too busy complaining about Usain Bolt being happy. The bottom line is this: at least when you watch the World Cup, you get to watch soccer. When you watch the Olympics, you have to pretend to like watching cross-country skiing.
