I think the first thing to think about is this: let's not argue about some or all men. Let's argue about power. Who has it, and who doesn't. All women in the US continue to get stripped of power by not all men. We can all sit on the sidelines and watch it happen, or demand it doesn't.

Fraternities have power. They often have the best parties, and the act of being let in, is in some ways, a giving of power. "You can come in" is showing who has the power and who doesn't. We celebrate that power. Then some of us are shocked when it is abused by – not all men.

At weddings, we sing "Did she put up a fight?" in the Grease medley. Different times. Those were different men. Not all men. And why are you trying to ruin my favorite movies? Not all movies.

In the movie 16 Candles, which still appears on the air, and is a hilarious coming-of-age movie, the geek rapes the prom queen. In this fictional world, the Geek probably moved to Silicon Valley, founded a tech company, and lives in a world where his rape was celebrated.

The second thing is that we talk about not all men. Not all men. Only these men. It's the lone gunman theory of rape. You get men coming out and saying not all men. In a world where women would choose a bear, not all men.

Two things often happen when something that often happens makes the national news. 1. The old tropes about victim-blaming happen. She should never have. She got herself in. She was drunk. She asked for tea, so it is fine to continue to give her tea.

Many women in my life are asking me about Cornell. What do you think about Cornell? Ithaca is about 90 minutes away, and I live in a small town that is home to Colgate University. A place I worked at for 8 years.

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

At 1:14 on the clock in every game, the fans should sing "You are, you are, guilty, ugh, guilty, ugh." To We Will Rock You. It's not a question. More of a song.

Man City went from "they are not guilty" to "everyone does it" to "they are guilty of 114" to "900 billion pounds" They kind of assumed that if they threw money and lawyers at the problem, it would go away because that is what happens with really rich people. The sheer magnitude of it, though.

Schmitt got it hilariously and ridiculously wrong, and then ran to a right-wing podcaster to say I'm only asking questions, and everything was okay because they told him he was awesome. They didn't laugh at how badly he got it wrong.

Man City paid themselves a lot of money for sponsorship deals. And then said, but that's what we were worth. It was 900 million pounds. So maybe not what they were worth.

I mean we all know you were charged with obstruction. So. Um. No notes, really.
Screenshot of a Manchester City FC statement responding to the Premier League Commission's published opinion. The club says it is disappointed and surprised, maintains it is innocent of the accusations, and will pursue appeal avenues, citing clear material errors of law, principle and fact. One highlighted passage states the club has respected due process for eight years, expecting the Premier League Board and Executive to act as an independent, impartial and fair-minded regulator, free from partisan influence.

Best idea I heard was on an Athletic FC pod about how Man City artificially sped up how fast they would get to the top. Punishment is artificial slowing. 20-point deduction for each year they cheated. Decelerate them into mid table team. Docking 100 points means their games don’t matter.

The Man City case has a bonkers timeline. Cheat 2008-2018? Get hacked 2018. Get cleared by UEFA on a technicality. Get charged 2023. Get convicted 2026. Appeal [you are here now] Consequences. All the while, the PL is learning the consequences of letting a nation-state own a team.

Years ago, I sat in a New Brunswick bar and chatted with some curlers from Quebec who wanted to vote to leave Canada. They went off on French culture, etc. I listened to their grievances. They finished. I said, "So no more Brier then, fellas?" The look on their faces.

Kind of bonkers, since sportswashing isn't supposed to be about cheating to win; it's supposed to be about the goodwill of sports distracting from the nation-state's domestic policies. And yet, here we are. The remedy phase.
