It’s not fake outrage. It’s a moronic law. It should upset any intelligent person. The NBA has LGBT employees who would have to travel to NC during All-Star Weekend.

Exactly. Play it safe, follow the template set by the originals. Then once folks are back on board, get a bit more adventurous in the next chapters.

Pre-1996 David Robinson was better than Pierce or Allen. The Robinson that Tim got to play with was not. And the team Tim won the ‘03 title with was possibly the worst championship team ever.

Like, I thought AoU was great. Sure the Thor sauna scene was odd, but other than that I thought it was a lot of fun. I’ve never quite understood why folks are so down on it.

The BvS numbers only look weak in comparison to the Avengers numbers though, right? Like if Avengers hadn’t existed, or if BvS had dropped in ‘05 and still had these numbers, then no one would be disappointed by its performance. At least I don’t think . And I say this as someone who thought it was a terrible movie. My…

Indians isn’t even the biggest problem. Its Chief Wahoo. That logo is indefensible and the fact that the team has only discussed de-emphasizing that racist shit rather and not completely abandoning it is shameful.

They’re prefer the term “Republican.”

They aren’t the only ones in denial. I keep having conversations with people who, when I say its bad, respond with, “It has its flaws, but...” No, man. It IS flaw. Its like we’ve waited all our lives to see it and some people just can’t deal with the fact that it was a lousy movie.

As I see it college sports has already ruined. College basketball is nearly unwatchable. College football, in their desperate quest to become NFL Jr., has rendered bowl games meaningless. Money has already broken college sports, only it’s done so without reaching the people who actually deserve it. It’s not as is if…

So since the schools refuse to pay the players, then no one should be allowed to pay the players. And so we should stick with a system where neither player can pay to remove the boot. I think we’re still mistaking equal for fair.The fact that every player will not earn the same amount is not a flaw. That is the free…

There’s not going to be a perfect solution. College sports is already unbalanced, so even if the scenarios you mention play out, all it really does potentially is shift which schools have an advantage. As for the negative team dynamic, that’s not really a flaw. As I said, the money isn’t coming from the schools, it’s…

Possibly. Why exactly would that be a problem though?

My position is this: If the schools don’t want to pay them, fine. But allow them pursue revenue elsewhere. Let the kids chase endorsement deals, and the market will decide who’s worth what. If the schools want to treat scholarships like salary, let them. But in the pros, a player’s salary and his endorsement money are…

Grew up in Maryland right outside DC and went to school in Norfolk, which was the first time I’d heard “make groceries.” Used to drive me insane.

He’s not killing Luthor’s henchman to prevent them from killing Superman. He’s killing them in an attempt to steal their cargo, so that HE can be the one to kill Superman.

Right. Punisher really doesn’t fit into the MCU as a hero. All of the characters, in both the movies and the shows are pretty unambiguously good. Frank Castle is just Dexter with guns.

Awww...Michelle Fairley is great, but I really Like Jennifer Ehle. I didn’t know she was Catelyn originally.

I’m not even sure it requires any legal juju. EA was ready to move ahead with the game with a chunk of cash being set aside for the players. all that needs to happen is for the NCAA to stop being greedy dick pimples.

My argument has always been to not have the school pay them salaries, but allow players to have endorsement deals.

It all seems very strange. There seems to be a rush now to NOT describe these guys as terrorists, yet if this guy was swearing an oath to serve Allah, or even Christ for that matter, that’s exactly what we’d say he is.
