Since you posted that, the Cards scored 2 more lol

So... in sum, you admit that the Chop is racist and offensive. After all, if you truly believed that it wasn’t offensively racist, you wouldn’t let one random reliever on another team dictate how you hype up your crowd, right? The next step is admitting that Mr. Helsley- and the rest of us- will be no less offended by…

Preview of Braves fans when Helsley enters the game tonight:

The Braves fans shouldn’t have an issue with this as they’re already used to saying the n word only when POC aren’t around.

Making an half-hearted agreement for the benefit of Native Americans only to renege on major parts of it? It’s the American Way. 

To be fair Blair’s awfulness isn’t just limited to the Iraq War. There are lots of reasons for a generally progressive person to be profoundly disappointed with his domestic policies as well. 

I do kind of empathize with Jamil here. Like her I’m working my way backwards through history and my “Willy Brandt’s handling of the Guillame scandal cemented his place as Germany’s worst ever Chancellor” tweet isn’t holding up as well as I’d hoped. 

one of the schools my HS played annually had an AD who was also the director of the foreign exchange program. Their teams always had one or two foreign ringers each year leading them to states.

Reminds me of our social studies teacher who hosted a hot-as-shit exchange student girl from France one year, and the following year was fired from his job and had his wife divorce him. Hmm, wonder what went on there. 

Yup. A town near us ALWAYS seemed to have an “exchange student” or two to fill out their soccer (Mexican, Venezuelan) team and Ice hockey (Swedish) teams. I think someone in the state hierarchy told them to cut it out because it stopped. Our local school, somehow, got the only Brazilian exchange student in history who…

You’re right - this stuff happens all the time and everywhere in high school sports but it is definitely not small potatoes in the places where it happens. These are the things that contribute those values that sports endorses: looking the other way, helping the kid move across town (or county, or state), changing the…

It almost literally is - there was a whole storyline about “Operation Mailbox” where there was a mailbox put up at a vacant lot the coaches would use as the “home” of promising players who lived outside the team’s area...

hey there, long-time Deadspin reader, first-time commenter. And longtime fan of Texas HS football, so I can shed some light on this.

I guess it’s just a matter of time before we read about Briles being fired from a Pop Warner football team.  And then being fired from Popeye’s.

This feels like a story arc from Friday Night Lights

There was a second hand in the grassy bowl.

I bet Mayfield avoided the handshake as a way to get into Sherman’s head. Like some sort of elaborate bank heist....a Hand Job, if you will.

That first video shows Mayfield from the back. Clearly a handshake actor paid by Soros.

Yeah, and lung cancer is successful more often than not, but only a sick fuck roots for it

Their win expectancy would be higher if their best starting pitcher wasn’t a domestic abuser.
