While male sports reporters are typically judged by their commentary and analysis, women in the same industry face far more superficial and sexist scrutiny. It can feel especially bad when seemingly “feminist” publications turn their back.
the amount of shit female sports reporters have to deal with is unreal. Julie DiCaro has written about it extensively.. and of course, been the recipient of nonstop harassment because of it.
I don’t think people in the US got this as much as we did over here in Europe and the rest of the football (as opposed to hand-egg) loving world. But this:
is a vuvuzela. The football loving (or just tolerating, or culturally affected by) world met these things en masse during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. They were mass produced, they were fucking everywhere. They sound like this:
Over wide open terrain, perfect to summon your people for say, village council, which was what the original instrument was apparently used for. The plastic mass produced thing, in close terrain, is perfect to make it impossible for anybody to hear themselves think, let alone speak. Could it be perfect to disrupt a nazi, for instance if you are not able, for whatever reason, to punch him in the face? My friends, it just might be. Because these things were so heavily mass produced, at one point they couldn’t give them away. There is almost certainly still bunches of them sitting around waiting for the opportune moment, and the opportune moment is now.
If you’re someplace where nazis come to hate speechify (campus etc) get one. You don’t have to be super close for these things to be super effective, which is helpful if you’re not willing/able to get close up in somebody’s face – the damn things are just as disruptive from ten metres away.
It’s Vuvuzela revival time.
(Alternatively, I’ve seen collapsible ones on ebay and aliexpress for $2.50 and free shipping. Just saying)
Do you want to be this cool? Only with minimal investment and musical talent?

What about shofars? Obnoxiously loud, sounds like an elephant, and Jewish as fuck. To offend the Nazis even more
….yes. Excellent. If you have one you feel comfortable bringing into such a situation, blast those things with all the air you’ve got in you.
As a side note, since my proposal for the Vuvuzela Revival seems to have taken off a little, please wear earplugs when you do this sort of thing, and please bring a load of those simple yellow foam earplugs for the people around you too. Vuvuzelas are somewhat directional, but you should still be careful of your fellow protesters and their ears.
Nazis though, fuck those guys in the earholes. They can go deaf.
Where is this guy i wanna find him and get one of these if at all possible
She’s was just a random artist in New York and was just sitting by her booth thing and I was like OMG DAD STOP I SAW SOMEONE ELSE DO THIS THING ON TUMBLR AND I WANT TO GET ONE OF THE THINGS
I’ve seen artists like this in San Francisco. It’s mind blowing.
Believe me, nobody over here who isn’t in self imposed media exile has not seen that 😀
People might be amused/relieved to hear that
Jetta Klijnsma, the disabled politician featured here has reacted by saying, “Great. Simply fantastic.
Best video ever!”
