Making this guy sport writer of the year was a travesty. Every piece he writes is a horrible word soup. @jonathanliew was right there at the same newspaper writing important and insightful columns, and yet they voted for Ronay's incoherent nonsense. Baffling
When you have nothing to say, and a lot of words to not say it in.

this is the equivalent of me interviewing for the CEO position of a company and when they ask me why I'll save the business, I tell them I finished all my vegetables once 30 years ago which makes me more than qualified

This argument fails the 'what if it was someone you don't like' test. Instead of defending him, use your influence to persuade him that this looks terrible. And it looks terrible because it is.
An odd conflation.
The glorification of the test detonation in Oppenheimer and the failure to acknowledge where it led is certainly problematic.
It's strange to connect that criticism to Glazer's brilliant study of cognitive dissonance.
Maybe the genre is differentiation?
Could any social media post better demonstrate how the hatred of otherness leaks beyond transphobia to demonise women who do not conform to a narrow notion of womanhood?
Could any picture sum up our new men’s rights movement better? The smirk of a male who’s knows he’s protected by a misogynist sporting establishment enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head, and whose life’s ambition he’s just shattered. #Paris2024

Please do. Because I'mma be right here speaking on synchronized swimming knowing I can't go beyond waist deep in the tub. Mind your business about my Olympic passions, Margaret.
Okay but when is "next Sunday" this Saturday? Anyone who thinks it's the following day is going to be a week early
A little clarification, since this is a topic that people are surprisingly passionate about:
“Next Sunday” is in 6 days. Because it is the next Sunday.
“This Sunday” is also in 6 days. They are the same day.
So is “Sunday coming”. Same day.
However, If you have already referred to Sunday coming as “this Sunday”, you may then refer to “THE next Sunday” as the following Sunday after that, but that does not make it “next Sunday”
Generally though, If you want to talk about the Sunday after the next one, you should say “Sunday Week”.
Hope this clarifies matters, and resolves the issue in a way that requires no further discussion.
Clout-chasing professional "grown up" has entered the conversation with a counter-intuitive hot take... and it's a doozy.
A contributing factor... not the fatal mistake
