OT: Grauniad praises Taurasi

[Sifaka]

What's the big deal?

What on Earth is The Grauniad?

Diana Taurasi lost in the WNBA finals but her greatness remains secure | WNBA | The Guardian

The Chicago Sky defeated Diana Taurasi’s Phoenix Mercury in the WNBA finals, but that shouldn’t alter her reputation as one of basketball’s all-time greats

amp.theguardian.com

The big deal is that a most decidedly British newspaper has a long and thoughtful essay about DT and the WNBA championship, not something most Brits, including my wife, seem to care much about,

Now, to the important question—What's a Grauniad and how did it get its name?
Well, the real name of the journal is The Guardian. Due to a long and splendid history of typos, many of which were damned funny*, another journal, this one a satire magazine called Private Eye, started making fun of The Guardian by misspelling its name.

* Typo negative: the best and worst of Grauniad mistakes over 200 years

Dang. I just had a picture of her ripping off a four hinge steel fire door and heaving it across the dressing room. This is just a flimsy little hollowcore cardboard honeycomb thing. She probably just sneezed on it.

Probably another $2500 fine and maybe a fine for missing the post game presser (as an organization)? Diana single handedly supporting the WNBA balance sheet.

I get the Guardian online daily but missed this. Thanks for catch!
