Everyone celebrating or encouraging athletes in men’s sports for coming out post-Heated Rivalry need to understand the context the show exists in. This soccer ref went viral for proposing to his fiancé on the pitch & then they were assaulted in their home after receiving threats.

The “Nicola Willis only has a BA in English lit“ crowd are feeding the same misogyny as “Nicky No Boats”. Cullen had an MA, Bill English an Honours degree in English lit, Robertson a BA and Joyce a BSc in zoology. These dudes educational background is same or even less suited but barely mentioned.

#HR observation due to the AO3 having been down last night: one thing I like about the overlap between Role Model and The Long Game is that you can tell that quite a bit of Ilya's negative self talk isn't accurate. You've already seen these events from Troy's perspective
