I take issue with the idea that PEDs are substances which were made ‘arbitrarily illegal.’ The punishments for taking them are arbitrary, sure, but isn’t it true that most (if not all) of the substances on any of these lists give athletes provable physical advantages?

That’s true, but I think the point he’s making is UFC/MMA seems uniquely driven by the drama in a way other sports aren’t. Part of the promotion machine, perhaps the business model, is rivalries and the interplay of the characters involved. It’s a similar business plan to the one WWE uses, except that there are real…

I was fully prepared to disagree with this. Then I watched the video. It really is the perfect pop song.

Let me go back to my original post:

You seem upset, I can only judge by your use of capital letters that something is bothering you.

But you’re not correct. The law is very clear about the difference between recording and disclosing. It needs to be, because as I’m sure you’ve realized you can’t record a text message.

Well no, actually. The text of the law,‘...disclose the contents of text messages...’ means sharing the content of text messages.

Ok. From NY State law (look at the italicized part):

There is a reasonable expectation of privacy that comes with having conversation in non-public settings. Laws vary from state to state, but all 50 states acknowledge this expectation and manage it statutorily.

That’s fine that you assume that your group text messages might be shared outside of the specific group that’s on the text, but the law doesn’t. The point you make about ‘once I put it out there to ANYONE’ doesn’t apply here, because these messages weren’t put out there to anyone. It was a discrete, limited, and…

Sure that may be the cost of making profits and keeping goods at a certain price point

i may regret this, but here goes:

amazing

Of course the ‘96 Bulls weren’t built to compete in the modern NBA. But they could, and I’m not so sure the Warriors would work out as well in the ‘90s. I say this simply because in a more physical era, which the ‘90s undoubtedly was by rule, the Bulls dominated. Their offense would only be freed up in the current…

This is funny - but lose the ‘wacky’ music, the footage doesn’t need any help.

excellent

Saw this last night. Agree with almost all of the above, except to say that you’re pulling punches about Jesse Eisenberg’s cringe-worthy performance.

people love the Dawg like the kids love Barney

I think the Djokovic-esque ‘we need to fight independently for prize money...’ is a complete cop-out. The reason women have fought for equal prize money at these events is because a purse/prize isn’t based on a certain amount of work; put simply, it isn’t compensation in the traditionally understood meaning of the…
