As an old who has stopped going to games entirely due to it just not being physically comfortable, I agree. Do not change shit just to accommodate people in my position. Too fat? Too old? Too needy? Stay the fuck away, there are PLENTY of young/able-enough people to keep the good shit alive. And those of us who are past those days, we can enjoy Texas whipping the fuck out of the Sooners on a nice couch in front of a giant TV.

OU SUCKS

Rough game against a really good defense. Gotta get the train rolling again. Hook 'em, Quinn!!

That was in no way a great pass lol

Pull Quinn

Unacceptable

Us fighting back is 10000% worth the offsetting

Bend don't break in effect?

I am Mr. Go For It. Take the points here.

Fuck you, Sooners. Fuck you. You fucking fucks

Quinn is going to slowly improve over the course of this game and shake off the rust in preparation for UGA. That's my story and I'm sticking to it

No shit. That's Sooner Magic level luck right there.

Absolutely fucking idiotic by Gbenda. Fucking moron

no no no, let's twirl around in circles in the backfield for 3-4 seconds BEFORE doing something with the ball it's cute

Let's roll with this. I'm calling the PR department to trot this out.

What a cute little play to lose 100 yards

He's the starting QB, so...

terrible

They are going to rule it catch/fumble. No way they don't give bama this gift

That's insane.

WR love to keep going outside even when they have a cutback lane and a clean block.

It's self-selected; you even understand the mechanism of it. Jesus Christ. You look at your self-selected social media stream and are so gratified and validated by your echo chamber that you decide it is representative of the world. You're the intellectual equivalent of an Angel Reese layup. Athletes are, by and large, fairly stupid. They say and do dumb crap all the time and get roasted for it all the time. This isn't some kind of profound outlier. Rogers denied Sandy Hook. Irving has made a career of idiocy (I love him, though). Sprewell desperate to feed his family. Rodman went to North Korea. You're an idiot. But your stupidity is a separate issue from A'ja Wilson herself and what she's been saying. Happy to talk about that, too. As mentioned earlier, athletes are fairly dumb. The WNBA has been a small, insular community for a long time with fairly homogenous politics, so the kind of whining, lazy, self-serving thinking we see from Wilson here makes sense to me as a dumb athlete's take on a complex issue as would develop in an echo chamber like the WNBA has been up until this point. Racial privilege is a real thing and it has some terrible consequences, but not for A'ja Wilson and not in this world of professional sports. It is an important concept when it comes to who the cops will or will not shoot to death, but it's frivolous to bring it up when complaining about potentially having less access to high-paying advertising endorsements. It's shallow and vain and vacuous and stupid. Like athletes often are.

This says far more about your self-selected social media world than it does about anything having to do with the reality outside your own head. Derka: "OH MY GOD A'JA WILSON IS GETTING UNIVERSALLY ROASTED!" 99.9% of America: "Who is A'ja Wilson?" I'm sure the people you follow, who also hate women's basketball with the fury of a thousand suns, are mad at women's basketball. Just like they were yesterday and they will be tomorrow based on literally anything they can find to get fuel into the furnace. What a unique and compelling revelation. I bet FOX will be mad at Democrats and MSNBC will be mad at Republicans today and tomorrow, too. There are interesting conversations to be had about how the inherently political nature of professional women's basketball as it's developed over the years intersects with this wider audience that Clark brings. An interesting one to me is how much those who use Clark as a weapon against woke-lib-minority politics actually like or agree with Caitlin herself as a person and whatever her views might be. How many times will Clark herself speak out against toxic attacks on her fellow WNBA athletes before the same brigade of social-media-fed angry white dudes throw her aside? I have a feeling she's extremely aware of how quickly love turns to hate and part of her rationale for keeping her head down as much as possible is to protect herself from that particular wedge of her "fan" pie.
