Round of 64 recap
KAHBA 🍆 REGION
(1) David Pakman defeats (8) NIRH Action Fund
Offense: "Very surprising that there would be a mass shooting at a Christian school, given that lack of prayer is often blamed for these horrible events. Is it possible they weren't praying enough, or correctly, despite being a Christian school?"
(4) Gretchen Felker-Martin defeats (12) Philip Bump
Offense: "Can pretty safely state that bin Laden and I did not, uh, agree on much, but blowing up the World Trade Center is probably the most principled and defensible thing he ever did."
Up Next: (1) David Pakman vs. (4) Gretchen Felker-Martin
(6) Briahna Joy Gray defeats (3) Occupy Democrats
Offense: "“Believe all women” was always an absurd overreach: woman should be heard, claims should be investigated, but evidence is required. The same is true of the allegations out of Israel. But also, this isn’t a “believe women” scenario bc no female victims have offered testimony."
(2) The Mirror defeats (10) Dean Preston
Offense: "Nashville school shooter Audrey Hale could have been a children's illustrator as their artwork was "whimsical" and "childlike", a former teacher has revealed."
Up Next: (6) Briahna Joy Gray vs. (2) The Mirror

KUS UMAK 🍩 REGION
(8) Hindustani Lion defeats (1) Brent Heinrich
Offense: "If you're a girl, your father definitely imagined having sex with you as you went through puberty, probably numerous times, and you're delusional if you think otherwise."
(4) Politifact defeats (5) Cynthia McKinney
Offense: "Teachers union President Randi Weingarten advocated for reopening schools with pandemic safety measures. She criticized the Trump administration’s 2020 calls to reopen schools fully, but it’s misleading to claim that she opposed reopening at all."
Up Next: (8) Hindustani Lion vs. (4) Politifact
(6) Ffrenchie Thee Stallion defeats (3) Chelsea Clinton
Offense: "Hot Girl Summer in full effect"
(2) Tariq Nasheed defeats (7) BBC World
Offense: "This is Derek...... Derek had a lot of negative things to say about Black people on twitter.. He was also against FBA getting reparations.. Derek's girlfriend cheated on him, and evidently the heartbreak put him to sleep....FOR GOOOOOD!!!! Should we be sympathetic to Derek or should we act the way THEY do when WE suffer a tragedy?"
Up Next: (6) Ffrenchie Thee Stallion vs. (2) Tariq Nasheed

(4) Sam Grady defeats (5) NBC News
Offense: "New Palestine disaster filling the Ohio River with dangerous chemicals, poisoning the water of yokel central. Gee, that's too bad. Perhaps they'll reevaluate their voting patterns a bit! (They won't)"

(3) ACLU defeats (6) CTV News
Offense: "The state of Florida never provided medically necessary gender-affirming care to Duane Owen — causing her enormous suffering and violating her right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment for the more than 30 years she was in state custody."

GOAT 🐐 REGION
(1) Rolling Stone defeats (9) Sameera Khan
Offense: "A furry fandom con in Florida just announced it would ban minors based on the governor's ridiculous laws"
(4) Matthew Rife defeats (5) Karen Lopez
Offense: "6 million? How? Their numbering system only allowed for 999,999 at the most. During world war 2, if a German mechanic was caught with a hammer in his toolbox he was put to death. This is because they were a highly detailed people who prided themselves on accuracy. Yet, I'm..."
Up Next: (1) Rolling Stone vs. (4) Matthew Rife
(3) Alyssa Mackenzie defeats (6) President Biden
