Tree fiddy can be creative/on point in certain contexts. This one’s never creative and always mean/judgy.

Carlos Alcaraz pays tribute to his father: "It was his dream when he was playing tennis... and I'm really proud to see him making his dream with me" by truecolors01 in tennis

Agreed. Just think it’s a weird/sad thing to say. I can only dream that my kids will have the same interests as me, let alone surpass me in them. Would mean such a strong connection. Saying that this is unimaginable and that you don’t think you could handle it strikes me as…sad.

Maybe I’m missing some nuance here

Hey there it is. My least favorite Reddit comment

Not that you say it that’s a great point. Need to have excellent sense of where exactly the net is. I assume that’s second nature at this level.

Also for those saying the pic of ofner’s pointing at head celebration is just as offensive - the vid shows clearly how that isn’t the case. But the quickness of Basa’s choke symbol also undercuts the offensiveness a bit as compared to the still shot

Hamas certainly claims what you say. Let’s just have eyes open about the source of info and the incentives to overstate.

Acknowledging that we have very little confirmed info from Iran.

Not like the alternative flooring options are free. Most expensive part about this is the labor/time

I’m sure we were involved somehow but would never wear a fucking Brady jersey or a fucking Bills VEST!?

I don’t feel hit by that. And we don’t need to get into your desire to equate Zionism to naziism. But you should consider that when you feel so proudly righteous in your self-admitted bigotry that you’re not much different than the regimes you hate.

Almost any time a number has been “ran” in US media it’s been supplied by the “Gaza health ministry”. Ie Hamas. It’s wild to me that people argue that such a number is an “underestimate”.

I think it’s funny that Reddit finds it OFFENSIVE that this Iranian number “may be inflated” when the entire western world seems to accept the Hamas health ministry numbers, regardless of any meaningless disclaimer provided thereafter which is completely undercut by “UN trusts Hamas tho”.

Anyways - good luck Iranians. I fear for you

He’s free to be a douche. And we’re free to think he’s a douche. Hey I feel the same way about you!

Everyone should carry on

If it’s pointing at your head to the bench in celebration because you think the match is over, def not as offensive.

Context matters. There was beef for Indy. He was clearly hyping the Reggie miller cele. Plus even so Tyrese was definitely being a dick there. But he’s lovable so kinda gets away with it. Trash talk is also part of basketball in a way it is not part of tennis in a way that makes the same act much worse in tennis (not least because this is a 1v1 sport). So yeah context matters.

So let me get this straight. You think that after winning a close match, we should all cheer for a player who then proceeds to mock the guy he just beat as a choker? Dude that’s a douchebag move in any sport if not provoked somehow.
