Eh. It doesn't take courage to be a dick to a beat reporter. Be a dick to Chris Berman, Cowherd and the real assholes instead.

When reached for comment James went cryptic: “For me, I’ve always been a guy who’s took pride in knowledge of every situation that I’ve ever spoke on...And to be honest, I haven’t really been on top of this issue. So it’s hard for me to comment.”

When you stand next to a woman are you bigger and stronger?

I hate unnecessary plays that hurt players. But how is this different from a runner in baseball taking out the legs of a middle infielder? Rule book? How we view thugs? I just can’t summon the outrage.

Too early to tell. Folks were saying Butler was leaving the Bulls last year, saying he’d sign an offer sheet that“cheap” Reinsdorf wouldn’t match. They were wrong. Why pit the two against each other anyway? That’s dumb. Rose and Butler are entertaining when running the floor together, and that makes this team a…

Rose wasn’t gone last week. This is dumb.

I get the Cards hate, even though I love the irritation they’ve provided sad sack Cubs fans through the years. But aren’t Wainwright’s comments similar to Chandler Parsons/Mark Cuban’s comments about DeAndre Jordan coming back to the Clippers? That Jordan wasn’t ready to be the focal point of the franchise once Dirk…

The deflector shields are up. Way up.

BOOBS.

If that dude was an Arab, would it make the racist fuckery OK? I love racial identity debates, but there’s something bigger in play...like don’t be a flaming asshole and don’t justify being a flaming asshole with “he’s not an Arab or Muslim.” And it’s not like the East Coast is some bastion of liberty. http://www.nytim…

Not just about sport. He doesn’t “know” because he doesn’t much care about anyone who doesn’t look like him. There. I fixed it.

Strong Kinja.

To be fair, Cleveland’s done the same for LeBron. It’s not unusual. Not justifying it; it’s disgusting IMHO. But just saying it’s not unique.

Whitewashing would be forgetting the harm and allowing the companies who allowed him to sell their wares off the hook for allowing him to sell their wares. Those folks are the ones who badly need tans. You’re on their side with the silly “whitewashing” comment.

In a race to the bottom, MJ never faced a rape charge. So Kobe wins that title head to head.

Ummm....the average NBA career is about five years. The game was in 2006. It’s not that unremarkable that Bryant’s the only player still playing given that math. A 20-year career what’s remarkable. Perhaps Kobe spoiled Lakers fans.

Do you think this is an isolated incident of criminal racism? Because it’s not. That’s why folks are protesting, numnuts.

Not wrong at all. Read the comment again. Didn’t declare there’s more segregation than Milwaukee, said the Chicago’s in the winner’s frame, just like the silver and bronze medalists share the same photo on the pedestal as the gold medal winner. Segregation is a priority topic in Milwaukee. It’s not in Chicago. People…

Overall. I’m a Chicagoan, and I’m well aware of wealth disparity. The poor are really poor, and they’re forgotten. It’s easy to ignore them when..yes, you have segregation. Their voices are easy to suppress anyway. But on the flip, you have the rich, who have a lot more money than the rich in Milwaukee. And that’s why…

I wasn’t disagreeing! I was just more or less and looking around my own backyard in Chicago, reminding it’s a problem no one wants to talk about here. That ranking you posted would be something a stupid Chicagoan (lord I know plenty, and I’m a native), would taunt a Milwaukean over.
