I also wish the media would stop covering the young, up and coming players with so much fervor. I know it's super exciting to cover the next "insert legend's name" but let Coco or whoever just be themself and play their game. It adds too much pressure and then narratives are pushed.

It was (also ostapenko arguing to herself about the auto line judge was quite amusing)

36 yrs old

Coco puff?

I downvoted this bullshit. And will say so. Go step in a tub of Legos.

yet you are here. Wasting your precious time complaining about something you supposedly don't care about.

Seriously. Who tf cares about the loser? I sure AF don't.

America's media darling loses and its still all about her. Wish these writers would talk about people other than Gauff and Raducanu so these 8 week a year fans would learn about some other players.

No one cares.

And where did you learn that? Med school, right?

Yes, this one instance here is good proof that there is no problem with “men or patriarchy.” That’s exactly the sort of astute observation I expect when I stumble upon r/sports. Very insightful.

*edited to add quotation marks for those who may have difficulty with reading comprehension

Oh, they love AOC. Totally unable to express those feelings in healthy or pro-social ways, but they’re obsessed with her.

Mmm k

>That is not at all an apt comparison. /r/sports leans pretty damn far left.

Not when it comes to anything related to women. This sub, like many others, is a cesspool of sexism.

>And "watching the WNBA" equating to liking AOC is curious as well.

Yeah, you just entirely missed the point. Sports subs here hate women's sports. The conservative sub hates AOC. That's it.

Slightly pedantic, but AC just means football club. If you want to shorten AC Milan's name just Milan is fine, people will know what you mean

But you took the time to comment and that really shows how much of a weirdo you are.

Sports aside this is a really good picture.

I didn’t watch. Was it a good match?

What a cannon, Coco was a bit off but DAMN does Ostapenko shoot lasers. Looking forward to Monday!

She got pregnant at the very end of the season. That’s about as considerate to the team as you can be in that situation. She could potentially be back mid season.

Good god give it a rest

No, but I was always curious how they handled pregnancies. Just from a business standpoint, it seems financially questionable to sign someone to a 2 year contract, when they are going to be unavailable for most of it because of maternity leave.

WNBA runs in a negative, so all financial set backs matter. I’m sure not going to watch games, but how they keep themselves afloat actually interests me.

I think the closest male correlate is tearing an ACL or UCL. Happens routinely. Known recovery period. Most come back at or near full strength. These male athletes are generally not traded for purposes of replacement but are sometimes traded in the usual course of things.

Sorry buddy, I’m not wrong and you’ve not really argued anything so it’s all good.

But you don’t need me to validate anything, just turn on the TV and watch for yourself.

If you enjoy that particular three ring circus, then chow down on your particular yum.

I just happen to like basketball at full speed.

Why is it that every time someone on the internet starts with “so…” what follows is obviously bullshit?
