Not sure what your story pitch has to do with this particular post above, but let me direct you here: tips@deadspin.com.

I'm glad we could clear that up.

Ugh. Not sure what this has to do with this post whatsoever.

"You can't treat the college athlete this way! One of these days we'll form a union, and get the fair and equitable treatment we deserve! Then we'll go too far, and become corrupt and shiftless, and the Japanese will eat us alive!"

The comments section in that NJ.com story (oh hai, Dom!) features some textbook examples of all the types of racism you can get from America's reactions.

Seems appropriate, yeah.
