Maybe I'll drown

Hungryjack posted:

The Dash say that Pride Night is still on. I hope I was wrong about this whole thing. We will see.

For me this wasn't about having Pride Night, although I think that's a pretty cool thing that I support. The thing I found distasteful was promoting it and then hushing it up as the event approached so as not to offend people who wanted to be bigots. Either do it or don't do it, but have some backbone about it if you do. The Dynamo have had it for the last several years and there has been no mention of it at the stadium before, during, or after the game. It's like they want to be able to say they are progressive, but keep everyone quiet about it at the same time.

So hopefully this was much ado about nothing and I can say I incorrectly blew it out of proportion.

but Houston has a lesbian mayor...?????

Keisuke Honda was in Frisco today with his agent at the FO and fields doing a tour. I seriously doubt that he is considering signing here and am wondering what promotion he has going on. Lots of FC Dallas twitter elites using up the electricity in their moms basement to envision scenarios of him and Diaz on the field together.

He's waiting for Milan to show up in a week for the preseason tour rather than flying back to Europe or Japan for that time, I imagine.

Yeah there is no Milan game here for that tour, so if he is doing some kind of promo thing I want to go check it out. Can't find poo poo about it from any legitimate sources.

Today. It was kind of an accidental thing. I wrote the piece up for the benefit of my family and friends and put it on Kinja so it wouldn't be limited to Facebook and I could have inline images. A couple of folks (an entertainment writer colleague plus a sportswriter) both commented that it was good enough to run on a regular outlet, so I went ahead and had it published.

The comments are mostly typical for Deadspin-- schoolyard taunts, a few really great jokes (I love "Prairie? She sounds plain."), and a bunch of nonsense and shitthatdidnthappen.txt.

I may be doing more pieces like this in the future. I'm no sportswriter, but goofy-rear end personal essays? Yeah sure, fine.

I had a similar thing happen in '06, except mine was totally my fault (put the tickets down next to/behind me like an idiot so I could stuff my passport away in its hiding place, by the time I turned back it was gone) except the Germany police were more than happy to just nab whoever showed up in my seat and give me my ticket back. I missed the national anthems of USA/Czech Republic but got to see the game.

In retrospect maybe it would have been better if I hadn't.
