And basketball would’ve been even worse.

I’m not saying it’s close, just saying it’s the one that is least far away from the male counterpart. It’s the same dimensions, and there’s not something like dunking that exists in one, but not the other. It’s fundamentally the same game, they’re just weaker and worse. The two forms of basketball are practically different sports.

Women's soccer is the sport that gets closest to its men's counterpart, so this theoretically could work. That said, I think there are probably fewer female actresses that can pull off athletic competency than men. If they don't cast well, it'll be hard for a lot of people to get past that.
The problem with a high basketball IQ guy is their patience and ability to communicate. A whiny guy like Chris Paul looks like he would have trouble communicating to someone with a lower IQ. I don't remember Rondo's body language being poor in a whiny way.

Lasting change comes from leaders, temporary change comes from bosses. This team needs to be led, not bossed.

I understand what you're trying to say, but your wording sucks and your argument is immediately diluted for it.

"Freedom from speech" would be people seeking refuge from the hurtful words, in this case the Trumps and their supporters.

I mean, I like his two notable contributions, but this take is borderline offensive.
Because they assume people will tolerate woke progressive boogeymen for the sake of more stability than we're currently experiencing.
I get it. Was disappointed to see that Joel K. is quite Swedish.
Wait, have I been pronouncing Ryu wrong all this time?

I guess I'm not following what you've described as the problem.
Is there an anachronism that pierces the veil for you?
Is the general mix of fiction and "nonfiction" just off to you?
Can you provide an example?
The hardest part of the suspension of disbelief is the willingness, I suppose.

Yes
I think I've seen a Behind the Music (or VH1 Legends) and a BBC Classic Albums. Both pretty good. Never saw the biopic.
Biopic or documentary? Which is it?
He tried to endear himself to the Nola crowd by talking bad about a local town, except he didn't research any and called it Pascatoula.
