FuzzySkinner posted:Sports and politics have always been joined at the hip. The breathless coverage of this particular issue got loving old though. It reminded me of evangelicals and their hard on for the Tebow issue. it reminds me of Will Leitch talking about the early days of Deadspin on a hockey podcast. at one point, he said that he didn't think that he should write articles that people would agree with just because they're coming from Deadspin. he mentioned that Tommy Craggs disagreed with him. that's very telling because when he took over, it got real self-important real quick Bear Retrieval Unit posted:Last night I was bored and decided I might as well watch Broad City to see what the fuss is about. It happened to be the Hillary episode and I am still shaking. That is my Broad City story PYF reminded me of a different time when Marvel laid politics on very thick. at least they reversed course from this idiocy FutureCop posted:Forgive me for crossing over to another form of media, but there were a few Marvel comics that brought 9/11 into their stories.

Tunicate posted:538 does both sports and politics too, but manage to avoid being awful about it It can be done and can be done well. Jeremy Schaap, Bob Ley, Bryan Gumbel and if you can believe it? Keith Olbermann can pull off being serious about politics within sports. (Purely politics is a big fail though). Those are...very rarely the type of people talking up "hot takes" about a guy like Kaepernick (left) or Tebow (right) though. I kinda view the names i mentioned as the sports media version of programs like "Front line", "60 minutes" or something akin to a Matt Taibbi or Glenn Greenwald article. They're fascinating, well researched and tell the stories that need to be told.

The single coolest thing in Marvel canon is how none of the approximately 9,001 superpowered people living in New York City could stop a ragtag gang of Saudis from destroying the World Trade Center

WampaLord posted:Extra Credits is the most puerile thing I've ever seen. They claim to be educational, informative, and entertaining and they never reach the goal of even being one of those things. Do you think the person who does Extra Credits could be trans or non-binary and speeds up their voice to conceal their identity? That's just a theory (A GAME THEORY!) but I figured they wanted to avoid harassment because it doesn't seem like anyone would favor the sped up voice as an aesthetic choice.

You're all thinking way too hard about this, he just makes his voice sound silly because he's a weird creep who thinks making a silly voice gives him an edge over the thousands of other useless culture critics on YouTube.
