I’m such a damn nerd, I actually thought “Hope Solo” was going to be a new character in the upcoming Star Wars movie. I thought it odd that some one would be pitting a character in a movie that wasn’t even out yet.:smack:
ETA: Just saw John’s post. Whew, at least I’m not alone!
I stand correct on that point then. Thanks. But the important part to me is that the team is representing the U.S. If it were merely a professional team, I wouldn’t care nearly as much.
magellan01 if you’ve been paying attention you may have noticed that sports at the “national representation” level are often even less concerned with matters of character than are commercial pro leagues.
In any case, great player, lousy example of personal deportment… eh, you can surely summon up a busload of other pros in a variety of sports and genders who can be described that way.
Here’s hoping widespread Weed legalization leads to a general mellowing of the PNW, then.
But yeah, people do forget that the PNW historically had to be opened up and settled by tough and rough people.
Well, as long as we’re being this enlightened and correct, I must confess that my first impulse reaction is that I’d hit that (after first getting some strenuous conditioning training), before the advice about where not to put it in kicks on.
(Though seriously guys, crazy bitch, I can dig that, but crazy ho, oh please, come on…)
Now now, don’t get your wide red suspenders in a twist. I’m talking about the thousands of people living in mildewed suburban apartment buildings, or the dreary trailer parks out in the Scotch broom. The people left out of the New Economy. All the lovely people on Vashon Island think those people are just cluttering up the wonderful scenery.
That’s where you’re wrong,** Slithy Tove**. NOBODY on Vashon Island is from the PNW. Shit, there’s a reason I call Seattle Chicago’s farthest northwest suburb.
I do not follow sports so I had literally never heard of this person. Do sports people get away with stuff that would get you or me locked up? I think there’s a guy named Simpson who could offer an opinion of that.
Wow, didn’t even know of those pics until this thread. But that has nothing to do with my objection. Masturbating is not against the law, beating people up is.
Strangely, US Soccer suspended her for being in a car with her drunk husband driving but gave her a pass on the domestic abuse. I don’t get it.
That whole incident is the beginning of why I am not, never have been, and probably never will be, a fan of the German men’s national soccer team (or Nationalmannschaft, if you prefer).
Apparently, took pictures of herself masturbating to send to a boyfriend. You know, like millions of other women.
Though it still doesn’t make sense unless they think she intentionally leaked them for publicity–you know, whoring herself out. It seems more like people think some women are hos if they enjoy sex.
Trolling shithead gonna troll. He’s undoubtedly happy someone finally rose to it. It’s like he thinks he needs to fill some sort of asshole quota or we’ll forget who he is.
