We need to have a serious conversation about the commodification of professional athletes.
Logan Sargeant’s car went up in flames after a nasty crash — a crash that he is incredibly lucky to have walked away uninjured from.
You would think that’s a good thing, right? No one could possibly be upset — after all, cars are replaceable but people very much are not.
Except “fans” (and I hesitate to even call them such) on Twitter and Instagram seem to disagree. They value an upgraded chassis more than the human being driving it.
And this isn’t something new — we see it happen all the time in other sports when athletes get injured and “fans” are more upset about how it’ll impact their fantasy lineup or favorite team than the actual human being having to deal with everything. But just because it’s not new doesn’t make it any less disappointing to see.
Athletes are people, let’s treat them as such.
Thank goodness Logan made it out okay, he’s more important than the car he drives ❤️
writing? oh, i’m definitely writing. in my head. during the most inconvenient times. like in the shower or when i’m about to fall asleep. actual typing? no, no, we don’t do that here.

george just "discreetly" trying to listen to the drama is so 😭😭😭
sorry for being weird online. i'm even worse if you see me in person
no because tyler doesn’t even look back at the tornado after he sees the pure joy on kate’s face?????? I’m???????
there’s a perfect cloud formation behind him (his words!) that he was just screaming his lungs out about, and all kate says is ‘it’s gorgeous!’ and tyler turns away from the clouds and goes silent and watches her instead. all of this despite observing perfection (his. words.) in the sky moments before.
because kate’s radiating the very same joy and awe he feels. kate’s letting herself feel the thrill of the chase and the beauty of the storm again, and tyler’s entire world narrows to watching the beauty of the sky through her.
he doesn’t even give the clouds a parting glance. he just chases her back to the truck.
like how. how did anyone leave this movie feeling normal about these two together. HOW.
