My kid is at the point where he wants either hockey, “backetball”, golf, or “gockaball” (American football) whenever the tv is on. He’s 23 months old. He’s moved past Elmo. We’re working on tennis and soccer.

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.
