This guy agrees. And could use a job.

Very well said. Essentially, the grievances of the traditionally empowered are truthful and valid, but those of the striving are ungrateful whining from those who are already getting more equality than they deserve.

Now who’s mischaracterizing? Nobody thinks Chip Kelly is trying to destroy his team. But it’s certainly possible he’s like many people in business who prefer to surround themselves with people they can personally relate to, even if those people aren’t always the best candidate for their respective positions. In fact,…

Pretty sure you’re phrasing (“not perfectly comfortable”) is the definition of mischaracterizing the issue. If he’s trading them away for a sub-optimal return based on his discomfort with their culture, he’s more than “not perfectly comfortable”.

Uh, the guy is a pro football coach. If adult black males give him the willies to the point he dumps them for pennies on the dollar, even though he needs dozens of them to succeed in his chosen profession, it’s a fair question to ask.

A PhD in psychology? Seems overqualified to tell middle linebackers how to rotate their hips when dropping into coverage, and reminding them the little people running at them after a hard-fought game are their children.

No, he’s saying that it is not a complex task to manage poor people. That is equally dumb, but not the same thing. His argument boils down to three erroneous arguments, none of them racist:

His broader point, in the full clip, actually dovetails with a fairly valid Deadspin opinion: baseball is a parlor game that is glorified beyond its worth by haughty intellectual types. I disagree strongly, and pointing to the lack of college education of most of its players and coaches is a silly argument and where…

I imagine his point is dumb but not as racist as this implies. As in, they grew up using milk cartons for gloves and now they’re the best players, how sophisticated does the guy writing the lineup card need to be? Again, non-sensical but not necessarily as malicious as this implies.

Your move, Ballmer.

Say what you will about ESPN, but clearly they have done the math on who they put behind the paywall. Law is sort of a boutique analyst: sabermetric and literate with a semi-cultish following. His demo is upper middle class, stat-loving, web-savvy fans who are the prime target for Insider subscriptions. I’m sure the…

With all sincerity, I do wonder if there isn’t a strong correlation between a person’s IQ and their feelings on the subject of concussions/brain trauma/CTE. It seems like the dumber you are in the first place (Cowherd being an example) the less likely you are to value cognitive functioning as your primary health…

The 5 questions I would ask Goodell if I could:

Rovell has a point. I mean, Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger makes $2.2M per year, and he's the guy your bros are tuning in to the Sweet 16 to watch.

"looks like he is trying to be positive about his recent diagnosis of early onset dementia" could apply to the expressions on 19 of 32 coaches' faces, by my count.

Pretty sure you have Gus Bradley confused with Mike Pettine.

John Harbaugh is clearly flexing for the shot.

So... is someone going to photoshop Todd Haley onto that mountain this year, or do I have to explain to my wife why the next 40 minutes of my Monday night are shot?

Rick Pitino has long established his personal support for instant gratification over needless, inefficient delays.
