sometimes I think people get obsessed with ridiculous, trivial concerns. then I see an article like this, and my thoughts are confirmed. maybe this is the Sport of Swimming's "edge", like the spitball used to be for baseball?

That Washington Post site never works for me.

Always wants me to sign up with $ and even when I choose browse for free,

the news article page gets cut to just the first sentence with an overlay blocking the page and asking again to sign up for $.

It also wants me to remove my ad blocking and pop up blockers which I will not do.

Seems like she wore school approved and school issued swimsuit and she was targeted because she is African American mixed.

Also not the first time this particular girl been targeted by the school and by other parents who are white:

Also, with both of the above, supposedly, ad blocking is auto on in private mode.

Incognito mode doesn't block ads on its own.
