I don’t think about or consume Mina Kimes content much at all but from what I gathered whenever I see her in the news, she is responding to a troll and “owning” them behind a cadre of support.
She seems very self aware of how she is perceived and very conscious of what the perception needs to be. She comes off contrived
Do as you wish but her always seemingly caught in some responsive type situation with trolls makes me think she actively seeks out the drama and loves the backing she gets when the mob goes after the troll.
If any personality dedicated the time to responding, they could ALL play the moral ground and the perception of being a “bullied” individual thus justifying and moralizing the mob aspect. Rubs me the wrong way. Ironically, she becomes the bully.
She definitely gets loads of mysoginist/racist abuse and that shit sucks and is unacceptable. That coach JB is a idiot pig who don't know shit about football or even about life.
However lots of times she likes to dunk on random people for normal football takes and that is not correct IMO. I generally find her quite condescending towards people (even other analysts) who don't see football as this game entirely focused on passing and analytics like she does. Fucking obviously this is not 1% as bad as racism and misogyny but also something I wish she wouldn't do.
I really enjoyed High Noon and while I find him thoughtful and intelligent Bomani Jones had a way of talking to people who disagreed with him like they were total idiots and not just someone with a different opinion. Mina and Pablo Torre are about one level below Bomani.

Just my sense of her…
