Brave. Stunning. Owning her sexuality on her own terms. > She's owning her sexuality on her OWN TERMS! ## It's about the hat His read on the real motive: the outrage traces back to a MAGA hat Sweeney wore at a party roughly four years ago, not to the ad itself. > These frauds hate Sweeney because of some MAGA hat at a party like four years ago. ## Brands need a backup Sweeney has become the Pat McAfee of the hot-endorser market, a single name everyone competes for. Kinsey says the ad world needs a second option. > We need another Sweeney to step forward. ## Gracie Hunt at Arrowhead The Chiefs heiress posted a patriotic message after the home opener, writing about the anthem filling Arrowhead and a B-2 bomber passing overhead. > One nation, under God. 🇺🇸 ## Timed to 9/11 Her post landed days after the September 11 anniversary and thanked the people who serve, closing on the land of the free because of the brave. > May we never take for granted the land of the free because of the brave. ## Burned out but impressed Kinsey admits the nonstop Gracie content wears on him because it is always so polished. This one, he says, was a home run. > This is how it's done. ## Reverse Mount Rushmore A reader asks for the worst Bengals quarterbacks ever. Kinsey gives up one name he clearly still resents: Akili Smith. > God, he was terrible. ## Basketball in September An Omaha youth football coach rescheduled a rained-out practice, only for parents to say their 4th graders now had basketball. In Nebraska. During football season. > Basketball bleeding into football season is borderline blasphemous in Nebraska. ## Parents performing online Kinsey blames Instagram and Facebook. Suburban parents watch friends' kids fly across the country for travel ball and refuse to look like the losers of the group. > Suburban parents don't want to be seen as failures. ## The high school game test His measure of whether a kid is fine: take them to a local football game. If they can find a few friends, vanish, and resurface at halftime for concession money, relax. > You're doing fine. ## Christmas trees in August heat A reader found a Hendersonville Cracker Barrel running Halloween and Christmas displays with carols on the speakers while it was 85 degrees outside. > To add insult to Summer, they were playing Christmas Carol melodies over the Muzak system. ## Key takeaway Youth sports panic is parents performing for each other on social media, not kids falling behind.
