Thoughts on Taylor Townsend: I just found out last night that Townsend’s career was initially thwarted because of her weight. Not because it affected her play! But because…well, you know why. I have been basically pacing in fury and muttering ever since.
WHAT
ikr?!??
Watch the rugby. The USA just drew with Australia in a thrilling match. The sport is a celebration of women with thighs and waists and arms that are…I'll go with not Barbie-like.
First I’ll have to learn like literally anything about rugby but I’m willing to give it a whirl!
🏉 is "what if 🏈 but no throwing the ball forward, ever"
This is true but not forgetting also the 2nd important rule 🏉 is “what if 🏈 had zero protective gear and everyone had to constantly attack aggressively the other teams players while pretending to play with the sporting ethos of a Victorian gentleman”.
Like a constant running play?
In a way...
Also no blocking—if you’re on the team in possession, you can’t be ahead of the ball. It’s not an easy game.
A couple days late on this: Clearly Ostapenko is not a racist, but concerned with Townsend’s etiquette. Because everyone knows that screaming racist stuff while pointing your finger in someone’s face is the polite and appropriate way to inform someone they’ve erred. defector.com/jelena-ostap...
I was at the match last night and the crowd was as loud cheering her on as I’ve ever heard in an early round match. Which was great to be a part of! Anyway, this is now a TT fan account.
