Serious question, not trolling. Deadspin has been very active in promoting player safety in a variety of sports. How do you square that with covering a blood sport like this? To me, even watching the NFL can be problematic because of the risk of injury, especially head injury, and my enjoyment of big hits in football…

Keep in mind - someone decided this should exist. Someone actually followed through and made it. And someone decided it looked good enough to share.

Personally, I’m in favor of anything that makes people remember Emmett Till.

I think it makes sense if you imagine it from his perspective. He could rehab with the pressure of knowing that his entire future depends on how well the rehab goes (and that if he re-injures the Achilles while he’s rehabbing, he may well never sign another contract), or he could rehab knowing he’s already secure for…

At least AD finally got away from that incompetent franchise that squandered his early prime! He’s gonna love playing with DeShawn Stevenson, Jamario Moon, Andris Biedrins, and some other guys I’m currently remembering.

Speaking as a white man; Fuck White Men. We’re pretty much (at least like 80%) total fucking trash. We’re even worse than White Women, which are like 53% Trash.

Neither is OK.  UFC is human cockfighting. 

Genuine question, though I understand it may read as criticism . . .

Finally, a video that belongs on Deadspin.

Maybe it is bigotry. As someone who doesn’t really know what to think...here’s where my mind goes.

So, obviously it sucks that Thompson got hurt and nobody wants that, but... Why the fuck did he land like that?? Look at that slo-mo gif. He starts spreading his legs, super wide, in mid air. It doesn’t look like he was bumped, it’s not that his feet hit the ground and he slipped into the splits. He just starts…

Every one of his tattoos looks like he got paid on Friday, went out drinking that night, then tossed his last two crumpled twenties on the counter of the dirtiest shop in town and asked “What’ll this get me?”

LOL who gives a fuck

I’m learning there is always going to be someone like you in the comments.

I think the best scenario is that Durant makes a fatal mistake in Game 7 to lose the Finals and then we skip ahead five years and Durant has given up and gotten fat and Green has to come to his hut and convince him to come back and help them make one last title run together. And Green will bring a raccoon to the hut.

Serious question for those who do:
Why do people watch ESPN for anything other than live events?

The difference is that she is getting paid to be inconvenienced while everyone else paid for the pleasure.

If you don’t want to deal with annoyed customers, don’t take a job where your primary duty is dealing with customers in an industry where they are often annoyed.

No, this is like going to your job as a flight attendant, being delayed - as is common in your job, and dealing with people making shit jokes as part of your job. Because it’s your job.

The difference being she’s getting paid while the passengers are paying for the experience of not getting to their destination on time.

Was the “power struggle” a staring contest?
