A lot of words here, but i think his point was the kind of talent they started attracting was confusing to the larger fan base and now there seems to be an explanation.

I genuinely think that anytime we refer to "The Cornell 7," we should say their names because we cannot let an expedient term make us forget who they are.

lol my friend in London is explaining this to me right now, and it's crazy. TLDR: Man City was a nothingburger two decades ago; they get bought out, and the new owners INFLATE their revenue for a cool DECADE so they could attract better players. BRUV.

She goes on to say that a white guy said that many white men, especially, HATE any scenario where they have to negotiate with a Black woman. Because they believe we are what? Not rational.

Please read my comments to this. The NERVE to call those of us with peer reviewed empirical work as conspiracy theorists and not those doing seances for the AGI god (e.g. Hinton's students). But I have more things to say in the comments.

lol it's ethically dubious because she's literally still a lawmaker. It's arguably very close to taking a bribe of sorts.
