Lol what a win

I found it a bit weird that every media outlet described the brutal psychopathic abuse of a disabled child as "bullying".

Probably just Google translated the Japanese source, as is the standard.

Very scratchy but amazing to get a win. If they can get the ball to Chris Wood they could poach some more goals.

in baseball/softball walk off just means you hit the winner with a home run and so don't actually run

Doesn't have to be a home run to be a walk off. Just has to plate the winning run.

I always think this about the term "child pornography" tbh

Definitely. Even ‘paedophile’ is almost always used as a bad taste euphemism for ‘child rapist’. But at least there the connotations of the term eventually start to match how awful what it’s describing is. Bullying covers too wide a spectrum for that to happen here.

I'm the least excited about these Olympics since the one before Moscow. Let's see how long before I care.

Anyone know why this refers to a 3-2 win and not a protest where the team walks off the pitch? I thought there was controversy on seeing the headline.

Same

It's called a 'walk off' because the game literally ends after. It's the bottom of the 9th (or whatever inning it is in extra innings) and you get the winning run before you use all your outs - aka you walk off.
