Members Faulkner Posted December 29, 2022 Author Members Share Posted December 29, 2022 Aw, we knew it was coming, but still. A name that will resonate forever, especially in Brazil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 29, 2022 Members Share Posted December 29, 2022 Just heard the news about the passing of Pelé (Edson Arantes do Nascimento) as close as anyone to a genuine King of Futból. He really did originate the era of the “beautiful game” that the best Brazilian players were known for. No player has equaled his World Cup record. No one. R.I.P. Although I have my issues with Neymar (with good reason) but I cannot argue with his appraisal of Pelé’s influence and appeal, whose impact lasted for generations and beyond Brazil’s borders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 30, 2022 Members Share Posted December 30, 2022 The love for Pelé is so strong, there is no shortage of gifted articles to go beyond the paywall. Viva O Rei! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted December 31, 2022 Members Share Posted December 31, 2022 However you feel about her, Barbara certainly changed the game for women in journalism, and was very intelligent at reintroducing herself to generations of viewers over a 60 year career in front of the camera. Rest in peace. I had wondered if we'd get another big celebrity passing before the year ended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jam6242 Posted December 31, 2022 Members Share Posted December 31, 2022 Yes, I'm old enough to remember when she was one of the few women in tv news. Saw her first on the Today Show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 31, 2022 Members Share Posted December 31, 2022 Given the state of her health, this wasn’t a surprise but geez, what an impact, her life and now her passing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted December 31, 2022 Members Share Posted December 31, 2022 My second thought was, I wonder if CNN will cancel Cheri Oteri's regular appearance on Anderson and Andy's New Year's special? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 31, 2022 Members Share Posted December 31, 2022 I wondered that too. Probably, but I still think they could do something funny and also respectful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted December 31, 2022 Members Share Posted December 31, 2022 Barbara Walters was an original. I fondly recall her last day on The View when every noteworthy female television journalist, including those on other networks, people she may have clashed with professionally, all came on stage and gave her a hug, one by one, each acknowledging that she had paved the way. And that is the indisputable truth about Barbara Walters - she did pave the way and she did shatter a glass ceiling. She got there by being tough, tenacious, and ambitious. She made her life happen.

Members Vee Posted December 31, 2022 Members Share Posted December 31, 2022 Barbara was a complex figure to say the least. But her legacy can't be denied. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
