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

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!
