Excuse me, I'm restraining use of about twenty different expletives to tell you that Homare Sawa, a World Champion, is right in this article. How are the under-23 male soccer players more "professional" than Nadeshiko, the fucking world cup champions?! Someone submitted this to my blog on male privilege and I posted a response text that I stand by. http://aboutmaleprivilege.tumblr.com/post/27566919309/male-privilege-is-when-your-world-class-soccer if you want to see me eat a seal in fury.

I said 5 days ago that SportingNews is giving Outlooks on every team, and I linked the Outlook on the Atlanta Falcons. I also said that when the Carolina Panthers were given an Outlook, I would do my own analysis... Well it turns out that Darin Gantt wrote it and I have absolutely nothing to say about it. He is much more serious than I would be; and the only thing I could see myself injecting is needless optimism.Last Word: Everyone needs to read this article.

All the Clippers first round rookies received votes. Check to see where they placed on the rosters. At Clips Nation, we talked a lot about how Eric Gordon received little attention for his productivity in his rookie season. Do you see other rookies this season in a similar senario? Edit: First round rookies as opposed to just rookies.
