Stephen King pointed this out in ‘It’. I don’t remember the exact quote, but basically it was; You can be the smartest person on the planet, but if you sound like you’re from the South they’re going to assume you’re a moron.

It’s not necessarily, or at least not just “sounding white” it’s “not sounding dumb/backwards/like trouble” ... Personally, I’ve had to hide my fairly thick southern accent to be taken seriously in the tech world. When I speak in my normal drawl, the first impression I get is “I bet that guy can fix my…

Your comment sounds like a Chinese women trying to describe sex.

From what I’ve heard from Man United fans tell me, Griezmann would play out wide in the front line with Rashford and whoever with him. So getting Griezmann would not affect Rashford.

Ah yes, of course! That was a very good show, probably one of the better shows of that era. I never did watch it myself much, but I did watch a bit of MacGyver in my day. My grandfather and I would go down to the basement to watch TV while my grandmother and sister would go and do...what did they do... I never did…

We don’t hate Tebow. I mostly like Tebow. We hate exactly what this: writers and sports media pundits writing about him like he’s a hall of famer and shoving TEBOWTEBOWTEBOW down our throats despite the fact that he hasn’t accomplished anything notable in pro sports for like 5-6 years.

NBA = WWE. Watching LeBron “dominate” because defenders can’t even breathe the same air he does is a waste of time.

(Just some super-dark humor in the face of a terrifying situation! Steve Kerr is very much one of the good guys and I wish him the absolute best.)

Perhaps it’s 3-1 lead poisoning.
