Gonna do some presuming about this situation and say that both of these murders were committed by shitty men who felt entitled to women and turned violent when they didn’t get their way.

Serena said the perfect 2 words that could’ve gotten people on her side: “But men.” Now instead of the focus being on her behavior, which was terrible, it’s on whether or not there’s discrimination.

The answer, as with SBNation, is don’t write for this website if you don’t like your compensation

American soccer culture is the worst kind of poser nonsense. It baffles me how this sport seems to be growing in the states.

Because if the population of American citizens murders x people, and illegal immigrants murder y people, the total number of murders is x+y. If those illegal immigrants weren’t here, it would only be x.

Yes, they may actually be lowering the crime rate. But they are not lowering the number of crimes committed. Even if they commit murder at a lower rate than American citizens, those are still additional murders that wouldn’t happen if they weren’t there.

You’re right that crime happens and we all expect that. But this is entirely preventable crime - people that shouldn’t be here adding to the total robberies/murders/other above and beyond what would be expected from our population. It’s extra crime that is preventable by securing the border.

Paying football players is not worse than covering up child rape, no one is debating that. But at least in that scenario, it was a top-down rulebreaking effort that included EVERYONE - administrators, boosters, players, parents, staff, everyone. Regardless of what you think of the rule, it was openly being cheated.

Because when people do something wrong, you fire and prosecute them. The “program” doesn’t do anything, the people in it do. And all those people are fired/on trial if they didn’t meet their legal obligations. The kids did nothing wrong, why punish them?

It’s amazing to me how people seem to be turning away from the NFL because a significant portion of the fanbase is now revealing themselves to be terrible, and turning to soccer, where a significant portion of the fanbase has always been publicly terrible.

Sounds like your hatred of rich people is biasing you against a legitimately fun activity. No one at my small public course is rich and they all love the game.

Contending in back-to-back majors a year after serious back surgery suggests that yes, he is still good at golf.

Counterpoint: Golf is cool! You get to hit a ball really hard and go drink beer with your friends outside. Plus there’s strategy, competition and no athletic barrier to entry. More people should try golf!

Hot take: the people who try to dunk on Rovell on Twitter are worse and more annoying than Rovell himself. I’d make it illegal to respond to Rovell and Dril.

Oh for sure, but enough words have been written about him that until he really does something (positively or negatively) everything that needs to be said about him has already been said.

Breaking my embargo on Kyrgios clicks to remind you that I once suggested “No more Kyrgios articles until he reaches the finals of a major, retires or is jailed for committing murder on the court.” I’d like to suggest that again.

I ate at his Las Vegas restaurant in May and everything that my group had got great reviews.

No, but I really want Deadspin to have to write an article about Jerry Falwell’s football team

Ovals = passing, and passing = good, so ovals = good.

Miss Atomic Bomb (the “sequel” to Mr. Brightside, and a worthy sequel at that)
