This is a great point, and it belies the tenant that capitalism is amoral (as in, morally neutral). In a purely capitalist system, the NFL would care not a whit about Michael Sam's sexual orientation, or indeed any of the non-football aspects of any player, and would instead focus on what Sam can deliver on the field,…

Funny, "a man's-man game" sounds homo-erotic to me.

Most executives in the business world (the NFL being no exception) are almost exclusively old white, very capitalist men. Capitalism (and its capitalist practitioners) is indifferent to the qualitative differences of human beings; in favor of rendering all human beings through quantitative logics of valuation. This is…

I'm so glad Lena is speaking out on this subject, and tweeting the link to that excellent blog post. I'm really sick of seeing people dismiss Dylan Farrow's statement as fiction, with no acknowledgement of her courage in coming forward. It was surely not an easy thing for her to do.

I can't believe I'm agreeing with Lena Dunham, but she's 100% correct. Dylan Farrow was incredibly brave to come out and say what she did. Most victims never speak up, especially when the person who assaulted them is so powerful. It's Roman Polanski all over again.

90% of the inquiries this year were from a retired Ray Lewis spending entire Sundays yelling "WHAT TIME IS IT?" and waiting hopelessly, endlessly for his smartphone to reply.

This is why I have someone to hold my burgers while I eat them.

here is a list of the people that want to hear northerners talk about their experience in cold weather:

This is way better than a sex tape.

Its kind of a Manchester thing. I'm from the same area as the Gallagher's and Karl is from Sale which is like 20 minutes drive away, and a lot of people talk like that.

This is horseshit. This was not a scheduled sit-down interview between Andrews and Sherman in some office or restaurant somewhere. This was an interview in which she grabbed him in the immediate aftermath of a brutal rivalry game for the highest stakes. The whole POINT of that interview is to get an honest emotional…

Yeah, I hate it when people who make career-defining plays against a bitter rival are still excited about it 30 seconds later.

Please, please for the love of all things good in this world... Proof read your work.

He's the quarterback the NFL deserves, but not the one it needs right now...
