In a video game about mario characters racing go karts. Perspective.

No way to accurately know, haven't (and won't) see the evidence prior to trial.

Indeed.

Dude it's mario kart, the entire game is about being a dick and hitting people with items at the worst possible time for them. Hell, this didn't even effect the finish order. But this is where we draw the line? Give me a break.

Also it's really risky. If the guy in second swings wide, you finish second while looking dumb.

It's a game about Mario characters racing go karts, Not the an actual sport. I fail to see how trying to win with a bit of style makes you a horrible person.

No, they both absolutely would have won anyway. In the first one, it's not even a question, he stopped a foot from the line to wait for people.

So your problem is what....that he didn't just win when he could? Nothing changed, in fact he risked losing. He's stopped a foot from the finish line, one can assume he had a big enough lead to finish first anyway.

Right? Christ there isn't even an attempt to be witty. There's just a summary of the letter which has been posted everywhere.

That sucks for you then, I'm sorry your first reaction on seeing a young kid with a new hair cut is "RACE TRAITOR!!!"

We didn't need the tagline here. I was sure it was drew because he USED CAPS AT TIMES to DRIVE THE POINT HOME so I as the reader would know when DREW WAS GETTING REAL.

But it's ok for Riley to call him a coward, selfish, seeking the first door out, ect. if he doesn't resign?

What the fuck are you even talking about at this point?

I have, I still think that being 50+ pounds overweight is not "miles ahead!" of an average American.

You cannot pass up the chance for a pray tell, it is a highly fun "what the fuck are you talking about." sequitur.

yea, If we want to say "hey, chunky can be sexy too" then lets go with that. Lets not pretend he isn't fat, and defining some new body type. As a fat man myself, I can get behind that message.

And what, pray tell, could he have been doing during this 2 hour (at max) photoshoot that would have impacted his team? This idea that "URGRGRGR if your not living the sport 24/7 your a joke!" bullshit has got to stop.

Why is that an issue? I mean if you aren't a racist of course.

so in other words, you don't know if he chemically straightened anything. You are just assuming, which is fine how the hell would we know unless you knew Neymar.

Right, i understand the point of the article, I enjoyed it when it put the author's contrived premise aside and just discussed race in Brazil.
