TIFFANY & JESSICA RANK ON BUZZFEED'S 17 LEAST ACCURATE CEREMONIAL FIRST PITCHES IN BASEBALL HISTORY

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

16. Tiffany Hwang (Member of the South Korean girl group “Girls’ Generation”)

The catcher just gave up on this one. His fault.

17. Jessica Jung (also a member of “Girls’ Generation”)

The pink shoes and the faux-bashfulness combine to set women’s sports back about 40 years.

I agree with him. Tiffany and Jessica didn't just happen to be terrible, it was planned ("faux-bashfulness") and the message is that it's cute when girls aren't good at things.

[cast-no-shadow0.livejournal.com]

Yeah, a similar thing happened with IU and a basketball. I didn't think it was cute. I'm not saying they have to be athletic, but it just seems insincere and propagates a stereotype.

[sub-divided.livejournal.com]

It also reminds me of Teen Top's "Be My Girl" MV, where they're on a bowling alley date like the one in Justin Bieber's "Baby" MV, except that while the girl in Justin Bieber's video got a strike, the girl in Teen Top's video throws a gutter ball. >_> It just reinforces the idea that girls should pretend to be bad at things if they want boys to like them.

sorry girls but i can't stop laughing at these XD

[eishastan.livejournal.com]

Their epic pitches deserve getting a place on that list! my queens slay even in stuff like this, legends in the making tbqh.

[ababobaby.livejournal.com]

i thought i'd get over it by now but... gawd, these still make me laugh :(

'The pink shoes and the faux-bashfulness combine to set women’s sports back about 40 years.'

Unnecessary, but ngl the statement had me rolling. XD;;

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

fuck that womens sports comment tho

like what does the colour of her shoes even have to do with ugh nvm i dont have the energy

[walkingparadoxx.livejournal.com]

ifkr

[nortonamo.livejournal.com]

it's such an overused 'joke'

[moonfox35.livejournal.com]

pm especially since in baseball (and football too I think) they wear pink shoes and armbands to support breast cancer awareness

[hisjulliet.livejournal.com]

why does all my biases suck at sports *tear*

[epona.livejournal.com]

rme at this article writer

[rylee900.livejournal.com]

Yeah who the hell is a guy to say anything about women sports
And what on earth does the color if her shoes have to do with it, that's a new one

[cuizy.livejournal.com]

'they throw like girls'

[cuizy.livejournal.com]

anyways they should have practiced a bit before.... it's not that hard

[furcalor.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry but throwing straight is not that hard. They're so bad it's not even cute. It's like they're making an effort to suck at it.

[megamisama-ann.livejournal.com]

Ne...? I believe if they tried their very best, it wouldn't that bad :0

[wind-master1.livejournal.com]

I have to agree with that... I remember when I was 8 I would always play catch with my dad, and even then I would throw better than them. And trust me, I the furthest thing from an athletic girl.

[harisukaori.livejournal.com]

MTE. They were so bad it's like they did it on purpose :/

[10135.livejournal.com]

LOL. Ikr? Even if they didn't throw it far, it still probably could have went straight. How could they not have practiced before they did it too?

[weaselbee.livejournal.com]

agreed. i can't decide if it's worse if they really are that bad, or if someone told them to be that bad on purpose because it would be cute.

[supplanter.livejournal.com]

Jessica's was in the right direction, at least... except it also just went down.

[cast-no-shadow0.livejournal.com]

Yes, both of these bothered me. And IU's basketball "embarrassment." It's playing on the stereotype that girls are bad at sports (which, let's be real, Korean men seem to like those types of women/stereotypes of them).

This is not cute.

[kamakazza.livejournal.com]

mte!

[xblackchristmas.livejournal.com]

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

It was kind of funny until I read that comment...two women do not represent all of women's sports so fuck that guy.

He's just made he hasn't had any epic throws.

Someone send him Victoria's two throws and make clear she's from the same agency so he can STFU

[sichyo.livejournal.com]

or their fellow group member Yuri's famous underhand pitch.

But yeah... if you read the whole full list, it was quite funny until that last one distasteful joke to Jessica. I bet it's because her pink shoes smh =_=

[megamisama-ann.livejournal.com]

Yuri seems suit as a pitcher. Seriously. She has a passionate to make everyone impressed.

[harisukaori.livejournal.com]

I don't get the "their pitches were so cute" comments. They weren't cute. They were absolutely embarassing.

I'm going to get a lot of hate but I agree with the writer. Jessica strenghtened every single stereotype about women and sports that exists out there :/

[weaselbee.livejournal.com]

i totally agree with you, it's pathetic. forget the pink shoes, the most embarrassing thing they're wearing is the baseball jerseys.

[cast-no-shadow0.livejournal.com]

Agreed! These were opportunities to be role models, not reinforce stereotypes against women.

[kamakazza.livejournal.com]

I totally agree with you!

[underhand-glory.livejournal.com]

so i do think those pitches were totally cringeworthy, but fuck that guy for deciding that two women pitching poorly "sets women's sports back about 40 years"... yeah because every single woman is just a symbol of Women as a whole. if one of us messes up, we're all the same!
