You have been advocating for Ilia all season, and doing a very bad job of hiding your advocacy behind a cloak of statistics that you have been manipulating. I have been watching Ilia for lot longer than two years. I have been rooting for him all that time. He performed WAAAAY above...

You are certainly right about times changing, and that's why I qualified about old timers; I knew those young folks probably even changed the name.:lol: No, I think the amount of time prior to engagement in athletics for their correct gender is certainly subject to academic discussion. I did...

"Big Made up by the right wing press issues now with a University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) swimmer who competed for UPenn three years as a male swimmer and is now swimming on the women's team and achieving records. At least two of his her teammates are quite unhappy & they say many others are...

I couldn't even identify most of Eteri's younger skaters, so I hardly consider myself triggered. :lol: I don't give two hoots about the skaters in this scenario. I am concerned about the coaches, because coaches and professors are held to higher standards and should be expected to show maturity...

I have no idea if Aliona K. sees this as "motivation" or what she wants to do. I haven't watched her skate this year. But I could not agree more with @canbelto on this and I will take it a step further. Spousal Unit retired after 40 years on the faculty at Local Large Private University. Even...

What is the real story? What did USFS officials know? When did they realize Dalilah's camp was a horror show for at least some skaters? Why did they encourage skaters to leave perfectly good camps go there? I could think of many many other related questions. That's what I want Christine...

To the contrary, I think Christine Brennan is being infantilized. Oh, poor brave Christine, standing up for everyone, speaking truth to power, asking the “tough” questions. Her question was not “tough”, it was ill formed and ill conceived. She is not speaking truth to power in asking such a...

Brennan herself claims to be neutral. She spent half her self promotion time on TSL telling us how she just recites the facts and makes no judgments and has no opinions and so forth and so on. Brennan can ask whatever she wants, of course, but this badly worded compound query undercuts her...

So if she witnesses abuse in California, where she is a coach, she is a mandatory reporter under SafeSport. Pennsylvania, which has very strong child protections laws (the Jerry Sandusky law, essentially) does to my knowledge not mandate historical reporting of any abuse (ETA: other than that...

What a useless question from Christine Brennan to Alexa K. about mandatory reporting. Does she have any evidence that minors were abused at Dalilah's camp? Because as a mandatory reporter myself, my duty is to report abuse of minors. And if Christine does have such evidence, would she please...

I agree. We almost didn't watch, Spousal Unit having 40 years in academia (and six as a chair), so we weren't anxious to relieve the working past,:) but I definitely found Sandra Oh to be the focus. I thought Bill came across as irresponsible and needing to grow up and and really irritating...

Isn't that article great? I had no idea "the accent" was so difficult. I guess when I lived in Delco (and my parents lived in Ridley Park for 40 years), I didn't know anyone from Radnor. So I still carry the southeast Delco chip on my shoulder and made assumptions :lol: Of course, when I was...

Well, I started in SW Philly but graduated from Ridley HS. Ridley girl, SW Philly girl, same difference :) Obviously not at all comparable with our friends in the Gulf, but for Philadelphia? My brother in Bucks County told me he turned off his phone because of all the tornado warnings. Hey...

Forget Raiders' Fans. :D Eagles fans will be mobbing, and I mean mobbing, the airport. No one travels like my fellow Birds fans, and a game in Vegas? I have been sounding this alarm on this for some time. ;). ETA: I will bet Nathan's quads there will be more Eagles fans than Raiders fans in...

I no longer live or work in the land of my ancestors (always thought it was a shame I never lived on Henry avenue ;) ) and I'm a Southwest Philly gal, but the view from 70 miles north.... 1) Biggest surprise: Vine Street Expressway flooded. Completely. Underwater.:eek: 8th St. ramp which I...
