I'm sorry but the irony of Nico calling Max unprofessional is sending me so bad like sir there's an entire garage full of people, who were literally in the trenches trying to survive the Brocedes fallout while just doing their jobs, who might have a few things to say about your (& Lewis') level of professionalism at that time 😭✋️
#f1#formula 1#formula one#max verstappen#nico rosberg#lewis hamilton#brocedes#like niki lauda had to try multiple times to literally parent trap them to try and get them on speaking terms it never worked#because one would arrive they'd see the other and the other would leave#& if i remember correctly the garage crew would swap around from race to race as a like see we aren't favouring anybody gesture 😭#and thats no shade to nico because it was both of them contributing to that environment#his comment re max is just making me laugh#like if i was a part of the pr/media team - which is a part of the degree I'm working on irl - at merc that year i would've lost the plot#like its insane reflecting on it nearly a decade later but the poor souls just trying to do their job in the eye of that storm#truly gods strongest soldiers#ngl the professional comment irks me a bit because its not like max is engaging in inappropriate work place behaviour#he's engaging in another aspect of racing that his involvement raises awareness of & that makes racing more accessible#& we all know how inaccessible not only getting into racing is but also to continue to pursue the further along you go#theres so many stories of 1 sibling giving up racing so the other can keep going because the family can't afford for them both to race#its a huge financial strain & we only see a handful of drivers talk about that & try to do something to change it#and nicos fellow sky sports commentators are routinely unprofessional on so many levels#additionally max had a lot of valid reasons to be annoyed at his team today#but alas he's not english so he's ungrateful#i hate that drivers can't criticise their teams or car without immediately being branded as bratty & ungrateful#ESPECIALLY WHEN THEIR JOB IS TO GIVE FEEDBACK#you can see the double standards from sky when say Lando or George have complaints with their team/car v the likes of Max and Yuki#especially Yuki my god the things i would do to get the British media to leave him alone#this was a jokey post at one point and then became a rant whoops lmao#I'll leave it that before i write an actual essay here 😭✋️

a professional boxer got her nose broken in the ring? no way that’s crazy. how could such a thing possibly happen. how could another woman land a punch that breaks a woman’s nose. that’s impossible. that’s so wild I can’t believe that.

That’s sad for Esteban. And even if the Monaco incident likely had a huge part in it, I feel like they could have waited to announce it given how just a few days ago, Esteban had to come out and defend himself against hate. This unreasonably just leaves him open to more hate.
#the people who were comparing Daniel’s see you in Le Castellet Insta story to este’s statement … welll#anyway I get this is sport is a business and these are professional athletes who hat don’t need babying#but given the proximity that fans have to drivers and how any hate easily reaches them#I feel at least some consideration has to be had about that

what’s a fun fact about you that people may not guess
i am not anyone's idea of athletic. however since my social circle is like 90% other honors student orchestra losers, i technically qualify as a jock given that i have six years of experience playing field hockey
#i was a goalie though. jysk. lest you think i was actually running around like a fit person or something#sasha answers#infinitelytheheartexpands#i wasn't bad at it actually. though my 12th grade season was squandered by my fucking coach who never let me in varsity games#my team was shit and my teammates hated me. i don't think i ever had an unqualified Great experience playing with them.#by some miracle though i came out of it all actually enjoying field hockey as a sport#both as a player and a spectator#and to this day it's the only sport i've willingly gone to see professional matches of#and will actively sit down and watch the olympic matches of#though they don't often get broadcast here because field hockey in the us is not taken seriously and our teams rarely make the olympics lol#so if i want to watch i'd have to stream it online at odd times. like a netherlands or australian match or something#though the upside of the sport being kind of small in this country outside of specific regions (like where i grew up)#means that going to see literally the us national team play on their home turf is great. the crowd is modest it's not cramped or too loud#lots of fun. too bad they moved their home base though and are no longer in driving distance for us to attend games. oh well#my sister was always way more into field hockey than me. she played in college as a recruited athlete...i just played in high school#mostly cause i had to. but i still somehow enjoy the sport anyway#which i can't really say of any other major team sport#not the ones i've tried to play anyway

i've thought a lot about it and i have concluded that parents just shouldn't Be Like That about their kids doing sports, you know?
#this post brought to u by my inexplicable picking up of abby wambach's 2016 memoir#(who never even LOVED soccer btw?!?!?)#kids who grow up to view their bodies as transactional pawns and their pain & suffering as currency to buy love with#too many parents are too fucking intense about sports. please relax. god. that's a baby with an undeveloped brain be NICE to it!#yeah ur kid can love a sport. but you know what most of all?#most of all ur kid wants you. your love and your attention.#and what if ur kid DOESN'T love the sport they're just GOOD at it?#you need to reinforce that you will love your children even when they're not good at stuff so they don't end up committing their lives#to things they hate just to please you!#idk maybe we should just do something CRAZY like ban child athletics IDK i feel CRAZY about this!!!#i've just read too many stories about how parents ruin their child's life and destroy their sense of self with SPORT. ahhh!!!#i think all professional athletes are fucked up in an entirely preventable way!!!!#hear me out what if: if the sport cannot be performed past the age of 25-30 then it should be gutted and revamped#so that u can't START playing it professionally until that age!#and whatever it takes to make that feasible for 30+ SHOULD JUST BE DONE.#oh god i'm in a spiral about what we have been conditioned to expect athletes to do for our entertainment.#driveby post

Imagine seeing one of the greatest talents in motorsports of our time and label him as boring, not passionate, half-hearted and what not.
Of course the car is helping him to dominate the way he does, but you cannot claim he isnt one of the current best drivers.
Hes working his ass off, loves the sim, and manages to get the car, the track and his opponents to their limits and beyond.
Its not like he spends so much time on the sim to improve. And hes always smiling, always praising the others, the fans, the track, the sport. And how do you repay him? By booing, insulting him.
And what does he do? He keeps smiling. [We dont deserve him]
Its fine if youre biased, everyone is. But just own it, and enjoy the show.
#Not to mention youre doing the same to max#That you cried about when people said the exact same thing about lewis#Why#Why are you like this#And to fantasize about murdering him#Yall lot is actually insane#Dont touch grass#Seek actual professional help#Max deserves better#And I hope he wins many more titles to rub it in#Looking at you sky news#I hate sport journalists#Max verstappen#My rant of the week

still absolutely love the pictures of the abu dhabi 2022 dinner because they all look like theyre genuinely enjoying themselves, both in the restaurant and the group pictures, they're all laughing and playing around
#i feel like if thats the mark you leave on the sport it's something that can't be weighed in trophies or stats#sorry im so emo about this#but the whole spending one evening together having a goodbye dinner where everyone is there and puts aside rivalries and feuds got to me#and now that the generation of drivers who grew up sort of normal and who were still super young in professional motorsports#but who had like yknow a life outside of it too#now that theyre leaving and it's more and more kids who grew up with this sword of serious motorsports hanging over their heads#it's just good to see them laughing together#like theres still something *there* and while it's all sponsorships and team politics and shit#theres still love and theres still this spirit that makes me love motorsports against better judgement#where everyone can come together and bring back a tradition#im so emo about this actually#that's what's so good about sports (besides seing your faves win and the ones you hate lose)

Today's hot hockey take from me:
The Leafs should keep Mitch Marner out of the lineup until the last week of the regular season. I know they aren't playing their best at the moment but that is the ENTIRE POINT.
Mitch Marner has a sprained ankle. As someone who was once yelled at by a physical therapist for coming back too early from a sprained ankle (for intramural ultimate frisbee. feel free to laugh at my priorities), I can tell you that is an injury that seriously benefits in both the short and long term from that little bit of extra recovery time.
We have learned that the leafs suffer significantly without him. That's a bummer right now but TERRIBLE for the playoffs. Possibly no other team values their regular season record LESS than the Leafs at this point. They NEED a healthy Mitch Marner for playoffs and dropping a few more regular season games is a low price to pay for that.
This is the hot take: I think dropping a few more regular season games will actually benefit the Leafs. Right now they are third in the Atlantic. This means their playoff options are the Panthers (ugh) or the Bruins (double ugh). The panthers have been amazing all year, play a style of hockey that the leafs are BAD at countering, and RAN THEM OVER in the playoffs last year. The Bruins have occasionally looked vulnerable this year, but even when they were struggling they STILL swept the season series against the Leafs. This is not a team the Leafs currently know how to beat. Plus, you know, there's all that history (a history of beating the Leafs).
If the Leafs drop five points in the standings, the Lightning take their spot and the Leafs get the Rangers first and the Metro in general as their playoff path. And I know the Rangers are also very good, but the Leafs did win their season series against them. Plus also, I'm new to following this team, but as a fan wouldn't it be nice to have a little variety in playoff opponents? Wouldn't it be nice to try something new for once?
#hockey#toronto maple leafs#I love this ridiculous team#the sisyphus of professional sports#god hates them#no one knows why#I also love their fanbase#with the memory#and emotional landscape#of a goldfish with PTSD#no long term perspective at all#but also liable to PANIC at any moment#sorry how stupid long this post is lol

Sometimes it’s very hard to be a Ted Lasso fic reader if you are triggered by orthorexia or disordered eating.
#part of the reason I actually hate professional sports in real life tbh#and also my big issue with season 3#literally zero mention of eating until s3 seems random#should say ONE of my big issues with season 3#but lots of random shit like that
