Also, how many people really cared about women's sports in this country before this became an issue?
Don't you see, republican congressmen need to care about women's sports now, because how else will they manufacture outrage about Jack Smith watching a game?
Senile old senator: "You know, I really like women's basketball! I couldn't tell you when or where a single game happened if you held my feet to the fire, but it's a big interest of mine! It's just my job to ask questions, you know."
It literally used to be a joke among men. ‘Oh, why are you watching women’s sports, is nothing else on’ or ‘haha boobies’ (volleyball and swimming were the worst by far for this). Outside of friends and family of the competitors, former players, and a lot of lesbians there was virtually no interest in it.
It must be a nightmare to suddenly be a forced political issue and it result in everything being worse for everyone.
Of the population now clutching their pearls over it, I'd guess it's maybe dozens.
That's generous
The show that keeps on giving. It was just this year that I learned that there was a fan theory that Tobias was actually black.
The genius of this show is appreciated by many, but not nearly enough. I try to spread the gospel of AD far and wide...
I've made a huge mistake
I love all the memes that have went even beyond the show. The cost of a banana, for example. The one that makes me LOL every time is:

I love that so much. Thank you for sharing!
Although... I'd prefer the president have dealings with Saddam decoys instead of the real Putin/Xi/Kim/Netanyahu.
I actually really enjoy women's curling in the winter Olympics, although it wouldn't matter to me if a trans woman was one of them. It was just the first curling I ever saw. I don't even know why they divide sports that way anyway. It should all be divided by weight classes, like boxing, and sex/gender shouldn't play a role.
If you divide only by weight class women will never win in most sports
