if steroids do give you a power advantage (and I’m not saying i have a problem with steroids per se) then it matters he’s on that list. whether he hit those HRs in the bottom of the 9th of the ALDS or in garbage time.

Again, if 40% of players are black or Latino and 90% of the ones bumgarner has issues with are black or Latino, then he favors picking on those players. It’s simple math. I don’t know how much clearer I can make that.

1) The fact that there is 4 in 10 chance he’d hit someone of an ethnicity other than white when the overwhelming majority of players he seems to have altercations with are non-white actually hurts your point rather than help it based on your use of statistical probability. how? this is how i see it - if Bumgarner is a…

i should note that as of 2015 approximately 40% of players in MLB identify as Latino or black. if he randomly threw at people there’s a 4 in 10 chance he’d hit someone of color.

this is what YOU said in your original post, and what i responded to:

I have listened to Terry Gross on Fresh Air for years, and personally think she’s one of the best in the business. Wambach is currently peddling her book, and I’ve heard countless interviews like this on the show - they are usually based on information laid out in the book.

whether this opinion can be backed up with ‘facts’ is immaterial. it is lazy to broadly stereotype any group of people, and worse still to then say ‘no but look at these anecdotes that back it up!’ (anecdotes for which, i can only assume, you were not present).

this is just as lazy as the belief system you’re accusing him of having

this is a good point. somehow i still love all the shit talking he does, and how his own rules don’t apply to him. he isn’t all that bright, but he’s fun as hell to watch.

thanks for this, i think his career/life might be worthy of a film in its own right. love his modesty, you get the feeling that absolutely none of it is false - he was clearly that good.

does anyone think that Univision may have ok’d this? I smell a compromise

i don’t buy, at all, that when someone says ‘most talented guy’ they mean ‘black.’

how long have you been watching Monfils’ career though? the point those guys were making is that he has always been the most talented guy in the room. it’s frustrating for anyone who cares about the sport to watch someone with that much talent not make the effort to maximize it.

the point is McLaren doesn’t have the design history to include with these other long-lived brands. their design language has only had two iterations, and one of these iterations was realized by one car (F1). it’s pointless to compare McLaren to companies that have had years to evolve.

No, if you’re going to use HIPAA he only has a case against the hospital. HIPAA, as has been noted several times here in the comments, does not apply to journalists.

Exactly, which is why Draper makes the point about the common confusion between ethics and law. This isn’t a legal gray area, but an ethical one.

ugh

Can’t defend safety in football, but ‘96% of pro players have CTE’ just isn’t true.
