Poor Performance Leads to Quick Exit, Not Politics.

Editors Note: I don’t know why I never pressed the “Publish” button on this one. Although it’s short, I wanted to make the point that winners are winners because they work hard, not because of their reputation. Without further ado:

I’ve been unsure whether or not I wanted to wade into what became an embarrassment for the U.S. Women’s National Team’s abrupt exit from the Women’s World Cup. If you didn’t happen to notice, there was a lot of commentary, on television and in writing over what was truly an abysmal performance by the world’s number one team. It seemed to this writer that the angry conclusions had more to do with politics than what happened on the field. Many focused on Megan Rapinoe, who only had a small part in the overall outcome.

Boys Are Not Girls, and Vice-Versa

It’s now incontrovertible, boys are boys and girls are girls and (very, very rarely) do they intersect at a ll. How do I know this?
