In DepthIn Depth
Welcome to Shade Court! Fourth of July! Independence! Magic Mike XXL is out! Let’s continue the theme of all things America with a bit of litigiousness.
In this week’s Shade Court, Britney Spears goes hard in the paint, Tracee Ellis Ross tries to keep it together and is shade worse when its from an inanimate object?
Shade Court Docket #2015JZ000102
The Case: Get ready for some deep soccer knowledge that I picked up during a six minute Wikipedia session. Landon Donovan, the only male American soccer player I can name, was not chosen to play on the U.S. National Team for the 2014 World Cup. The veteran player was apparently none too pleased with this decision made by head coach Jurgen Klinsmann.
During the Women’s World Cup semifinal match between the United States and Germany, Landon fired off a tweet about the importance of player Abby Wambach, who has also been around the block a few times.
The Defendant: Rolling Stone
The Evidence:
The Deliberation: Ok, Rolling Stone, chill a bit. “Subtweet shade” is not a thing. A subtweet can be shady—let’s be real, it usually is—but what you’re not going to do is run around making up types of shade like there’s any room in this lane for you.
The way he used a compliant of another player as a Trojan horse for an attack on his old coach was brilliant. There’s passive aggressive and then there’s this tweet.
I bet you he’s been planning this one for awhile.
