It’s not like this is the first time American Assholes overplayed their hand...

Great fucking story.

This was fascinating and illuminating. Glad Deadspin is sticking so closely to sports like this.

If I was his son, don’t think I wouldn’t hand-make a “Happy Fodder’s Day” card next June. 

“Iran is no longer a competitor at the international level. No Iranian team regardless of worthiness, will be permitted to play in any FIFA sanctioned match.”

They should have told the Kent State administration to fuck off and kept playing. I mean, what are they gonna do about it, call in the National Guard?

Having never been touched like that by a woman before, it was all he could do to prematurely eject her.

Be a good person. The bar is set really fucking low.

“What if my kid sees him in a Bucs uniform!?! How am I going to explain that?”

Can’t believe he openly talks about playing for the Buccaneers...

HOLY SHIT. I love the internet sometimes.

That dude killed two women and a child and spent an hour running around naked, trying to tackle and wrestle police officers, who absolutely refused to use their service weapons against him, and if watching that video doesn’t tell you 100% the difference between how the police treat black people and white people,…

Wait. A well researched and well written article about soccer that’s also concise? I’m very confused.

“Critics find her...” is code for a rhetorical construct created by those who fear her very strength.

I do enjoy the complaint about run-on sentences within a 96-word, full paragraph of a sentence.

The soccer comments are dickish because Billy has been told the same complaints about his writing over and over and over for years - enough with the ridiculous paragraph-long run-on sentences, the use of fourteen paragraphs to make an incredibly banal point that could have been made in two sentences, the constant…

I mean...of anyone in the MLB, Verlander especially has the right to be super protective over who has access to his cell phone information.

The other unstated metric here in the Lions’ miserableness is that they finally did @ZODIAC_MF in.

I can’t stop cheering for them now. I’m too far in. What happens if, and I mean, if, in like 50 years, the Lions have some miracle season and make it to the Super Bowl and I abandoned them way back in 2019? I can’t do it! We will have our day!

“The Lions won the NFL championship three times between 1952 and 1957. Since then, 18 head coaches have guided them into this never-ending pit of despair.”
