"[TRIGGER WARNING: rape] I know you all like football. I know a lot of people like football. I know it’s fun and culturally important and for some reason people identify incredibly strongly with Their Team, many to unhealthy levels. But it’s football. It is just football. Feeling personally devastated because someone you trusted made a really terrible decision is one thing; being personally devastated because your identity is so wrapped up in your team that the idea of any member of that team being punished for covering up child rape strikes you as fundamentally unfair is another thing. It is something that should make you seriously reconsider your identity and your values. Being really good at coaching football doesn’t absolve you from looking the other way when you hear about child rape; it doesn’t absolve you from encouraging others not to report child rape to the police."

About Me
Autostraddle.com is my website. I made this tumblr in mid-2009 because we just can't get enough internet.
Autostraddle likes queers, photography, pretty girls and pure poetry. She has many talents, including jumping & tumbling. She also enjoys words, lesbians and girl-on-girl culture. She is best enjoyed with a balanced breakfast at Autostraddle.
Riese is responsible for everything here, more or less.
our favorite tumblr is fuck yeah autostraddle
We're also big fans of straddle gifs, hotties with autostraddle swag, camp autostraddle tumblr and autostraddle spam.
You used to be able to ask us questions on formspring, but formspring has been shut down as of March 31st, 2013. Sadness.
