It really isn’t surprising that a member of the elite whose career prospects hinge on supporting those values backs those values and that system over members of her own gender who have shared her traumatic experience.

That’s one of the problems with assuming that identity politics will produce change. It’s quite common…

It’s no and no. She’s not a feminist. She married a guy who exploits and abuses women and turned a blind eye to that in her quest for power. I continue to be amazed at women supporting her, when she offers anyone other than other very rich women nothing but lip service and destruction.

That’s nonsense. The only way to bring the era of Money party corruption to a close is to resist. Hillary Clinton HERSELF is saying she won’t actually be able to do very much, even if she wanted to — and she doesn’t want to do much, except bomb people in other countries and use the government to continue to siphon…

I find rationalizations for Secretary Clinton’s candidacy fascinating. She has less experience in government than Sanders. She is less decisive. Given the numerous mistakes she has made throughout her career, I don’t see serious evidence of actual intelligence — I realize she went to a well-regarded private college,…

Reinforcing what another commenter already said: kneecapping is a thing terrorists do. It can lead to permanent, terrible injury. It’s not a reasonable way to handle a 17 year old with a pen knife who is running away from you.

The concussion problem is ongoing. What happened to Keenum is a failure of current processes — not the start or ending of the concussion crisis. These mens bodies and brains are being destroyed for the benefit of others in exploitative and unnecessary ways, so I’m all for keeping the noise up around how inadequate…

The league apparently only wants them full-time if they’re “at will” — fireable at the drop of a hat. The union, wisely, isn’t interested in letting its members be scapegoated by Roger whenever anything goes wrong. Thus, stalemate.

I think you have a point. OTOH, if they push officiating problems as a distraction, that’s got the potential to blow up in their faces. This still comes back to incompetence in the front office — like everything else. So officiating problems may act as a proxy for the deeper issues people don’t want to think about.…

Oh, for heaven’s sake. See SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, then. See major Florida newspapers. It’s really beyond question that the university and the local police conspired to hamper the investigation. It’s amazing how often black men are presumed to be criminals EXCEPT when they play football or basketball for a team a…

You’re lying. I’m not going to use the Google machine for you. Sports Illustrated has a quote from the state’s attorney about how FSU and the police conspired to hamper the investigation. There are numerous articles here at Deadspin with this information, as well.

Erm...Okay. I guess the part where they didn’t gather timely crucial evidence (including witness statements) for almost a year, so that the case became, as intended by those instigating the delay, impossible to prosecute successfully is just an irrelevant coincidence? The state attorney explicitly said that the school…

As an adoptee, I will once again point out that adoption is not some fairy dust, unicorns and rainbows way to make a family. It can be problematic for all the parties involved.

Sometimes, the convenience is worth it. But mostly, Yuca Hut, baby. Yuca Hut.

Sadly, your headline is misleading. She’s saying Cam’s not being RESPECTABLE enough. It doesn’t sound like she’s self-aware enough to be turned on.

Um, Bernie has proposed most of this. He is tamping down and focusing in a bit, I think in part because it’s already hard for him to get his message out and he’s trying to bring a lot of people in red states along and maybe flip the congress (recent polling suggests this is actually possible with him). But the only…

True. Of course, that’s being female in America — there is no choice you can make with your body that isn’t subject to criticism from strangers.

You’re assuming they had access to legal, safe, affordable abortion services. That’s probably an erroneous assumption in large swathes of the US.

This seems like a pretty strong pick, given that they only had a couple of days, and CLEARLY needed to get somebody in there.

I seriously would like to know how to campaign effectively to get Moskovitz a Pulitzer. There is some tremendous, and tremendously important journalism being produced at Deadspin. Come for the Jamboroo, stay for the corruption in sports organization journalism!

Every player entering the NFL should get lifetime health…

It’s worse than stupidity. The NFL incompetent, corrupt, and I think rises to the level of evil — not just this domestic violence stuff, but how they are knowingly destroying the bodies and brains of the men who deliver ALL the value, hiding what they know, doing nothing meaningful to protect them, and knowing all…
