It’s not just enough to blame UEFA, but also the Bulgarian FA that organized the match. It seems like many of the black-hooded fans who were hurling the abuse were members of the “Lauta Army” ultras for Lokomotiv Plovdiv. In addition, there are accounts that 20-something stewards flipped off their bibs and joined the…

I’m starting to think Victor Krum was probably a racist.

Why do people watch this sport again?

I think this defense is broadly right—but it still amounts to LeBron saying that the sensitivities of one of the world’s most brutal and repressive regimes should set boundaries on what people in the NBA say in public. Which is fuckin’ gross!

A good time to remember that Colin Kaepernick gave up his job and all the considerable perks that come with it to stand up against injustice, while LeBron James, whose legacy and bank account are both more secure, is unwilling to risk even a small fraction of future earnings to speak on one of the few world issues…

“pay to build us a new stadium or we’re moving to LA.”

I always think its the Clippers 

I never understood the logic:  Take a city that hasn’t cared about NFL football for about 20 years.  Put a team there, wait a year, then put another team there.  Why?  Maybe if the Chargers were there alone their fans would follow and make some new ones, but once the Rams were there, the Chargers were not getting any…

Meh. I’ve seen worse calls. 

Hey! Another 10-15 years they’ll get those visitor headsets working. Everything’s a process in New England.

I’m OK with the headsets, but I think they should be forced to listen to Top 40 country music during the plays if they want to use them.

I like to think Wilson succeeded because he didn’t have to listen to Brian Schottenheimer.

It’s Boston. They were already going to piss in their cup and throw it at the ref anyway

First they came for Massholes' knees and I did nothing because fuck Massholes.

on the one hand: awful, late-capitalist hellscape.

He should be in prison over helping a friend score pills? Skaggs was an adult who made his own decisions, and obviously this was hardly his first rodeo with opiates. According to this account the fatal dose was likely not even obtained through this guy.

C'mon. This guy was a gopher. Both addicts, just happened that the famous one died

I’ll go one further—I think those outlets are *intentionally* misinterpreting what Soto said, because it casts him in a negative light. It makes it look he’s being a petulant child who can dish it out but cannot take it, which suits the narrative they’d like to amplify, particularly in the context of “the Cards play…
