Ban on Ethnic Studies in Arizona →
whatsername104: theupstart13: whatsername104: Apparently for the Arizona legislature, one racist bill every few months is insufficient. They are working overtime on the obnoxious factor.  HB 2211 was passed last month which would make it “illegal for a school district” to have any courses or classes that are designed primarily for students of a particular ethnic group or advocate ethnic...

If you feel like telling them what you think about that shoot, I think I’d direct them to “Communications/PR.” Like I did a few minutes ago, since I got no kind of response on Twitter. I don’t really expect a response now, but hell, maybe worth a shot.

TOR weighs in on the US Soccer/Playboy stuff.  →
Yes, I commented. No, I don’t expect it to do any good. I just felt like beating my head against the wall today, it seems.

Dear US Soccer, why is this? →
(The picture is of the new MNT home kit being modeled by a Playboy model. It’s a half-shirt style and she’s also wearing white underwear.) I’m at work, so I’m not gonna click through to Playboy, but seriously, this is so lazy and uncreative and cliched. I am so fucking tired of being sold soccer via the bodies of “hot” women, and it happens constantly, from...

In which ESPN is evil omg.
So, apparently ESPN is considering changing some things about its coverage of Premiership and FA Cup games. Note: 1) considering, and 2) they can’t do anything without the clubs’ consent. Nothing has happened yet except a Guardian article and soccer blogs flipping the eff out. Now, I’ll admit that sideline interviews and that whole picture-in-picture thing that ESPN and FSC do...

Unprofessional Foul doesn't care about WPS. →
So much so that there’s an entire post detailing how much the author doesn’t care. And how bad it is and how it’s gonna go under, because European men’s leagues and MLS exist. Ugh.

“But women’s college basketball, like many professional women’s...”
– Source I wonder how much this happens in WPS. I know the national team is pretty carefully selective about whose personal life it chooses to highlight. Apparently it’s never enough for women to just be incredible athletes; they always have to be acceptably feminine as well.
