Kaepernick does all of those things you’ve pointed out. He speaks at schools, he has promised $1 million to various community groups, with more to come.

are we sure that these opinions are based on his refusal to stand during the anthem? he’s been in the league for awhile now, and he also isn’t very good. just want to make sure there isn’t a narrative being created out of cherry-picked quotes...

The idea that everyone in our society should benefit from a rising economy fell apart.

That’s fair - but Ashley is linking the current Republican party back 50 years. George Wallace is one of the longest serving governors in US history, finishing his final term in 1987 after 16 years in office (terms separated here and there by a term or two) - as a Democrat.

I am a Democrat. I will vote for Hillary, for sure.

i wonder if the endgame here is eliminating any ‘men’s’ or ‘women’s’ designation in Olympic sports altogether.

jeah, i mean it makes no sense.

how do you know what this movie is? no one knows yet, i think it’s weird that people are protecting a piece of art that they haven’t yet seen.

men do this (i am one) do this to create emotional distance. after an intimate moment it is easier to ‘casualize’ the encounter. the use of a word like ‘hey’ works pretty well to accomplish this goal.

is there going to be a point when people begin to get suspicious of Ledecky’s dominance? She is winning in a way reserved for people on a combination of HGH, vicodin, meth, and horse tranquilizers. is anyone raising suspicion? like other countries?

Philly fan:

i’m a Yankee fan as well. who the fuck still thinks the * is necessary?

many, many Yankee fans won’t be pretending to celebrate that milestone though. the guy is a sure-fire HOF’er who deserves to wring every last at bat out of his career, and with the Yankees as bad as they are these HRs are one of the few things they can celebrate this year.

yes

this is one of the dumber takes i’ve seen here. hot, of course, and real dumb.

so if I go into a dealership and say ‘i’m thinking of buying one of your trucks for my building company, can you tell me how many miles per gallon does this truck get’ the dealer DOESN’T HAVE TO TELL ME? this seems completely insane. I get that they may not be required to use it in their advertising materials, but are…

it is interesting that the Kobe narrative with regard to his rape accusation has become, as far as I can tell, ‘of course he did it.’ has evidence come out that definitively proves anything about this case other than infidelity? not trolling, or trying to be contrarian, just really want to know.

Tennis is pretty much the only sport I follow religiously. I am SO disappointed by this, but happy to hear that he plans to continue playing for awhile...

no one expects Hillary to ‘weed out money and corruption in politics.’ rather, her supporters expect her to ‘actually run the country competently’ and ‘not embarrass the United States on the world stage’ while also ‘hopefully addressing many of the issues Bernie raised insofar as she can, while trying not to…

On a somewhat unrelated note I have been wondering this for a long time: why has ESPN discontinued its coverage of F1? They used to show races, had dedicated coverage of the drivers, etc. Now they NEVER mention it on the air, despite the fact it is the 2nd most-watched sport in the world. What happened between ESPN…
