I’m pretty sure people would be pretty damn opposed to the guy if he were liberal too. You’re taking the fact that only people who are defending him to be conservatives as a statement on liberals, when actually it’s just a statement on conservatives.

I don’t even necessarily agree with the idea that this wouldn’t change things either way- I actually think it could very easily make things worse for victims. Gives the abusers more ammunition to blame their victims and less to lose. If anything, a system like this would likely increase abuse.

For one, court systems don’t find “innocent”, they find “not guilty”, which is a very meaningful difference. Second, as she explains in the article, she did not participate in the appeal. If she had he might not have won his appeal. In the first trial he got found guilty, and in the second trial there was almost no…

I’d lend more credence to Abramovic’s complaint if she defined what Jay-Z failed to provide beyond “support” or “help”. She certainly gained visibility from it.

“We need this obstructive mandatory waiting periods so women can have all the time they need to make a thoughtful and informed decision.”

Disagreeing with a vast scientific consensus isn’t an opinion, it’s a rejection of facts.

I feel like in the past, having even seen an interview he did, he’s been arguing that the contract didn’t specify what to do in the event they separated. So to me it now seems like he’s just disingenuously throwing this out there because he’s realized he has no way of using the contract to justify his argument.

I mostly agree with this article, but just to play devil’s advocate a bit: What if it does end up advancing the plot or characters somehow?

I’ll take a stab at explaining: Devaluing great players because teams are intentionally fouling them to exploit a weakness in their game is dumb.

For reference: When Earl Sweatshirt did rap about rape he was 16 years old.

Yeah, this report is far from independent but I don’t really see what the league stands to gain from this or what Wells’ firm stands to gain from this (I doubt they get paid more for finding something did happen).

Two points:

In cases of DV and the like I’d much rather teams just provide quality aid and services to the victims rather than half-heartedly punishing players because of the optics.

He got rid of DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, and LeSean McCoy... but replaced them with Nelson Agholor, Jordan Matthews, DeMarco Murray, and Ryan Mathews.

So, had the NFL violated the CBA and let Collins into the Supplemental Draft, would the NFLPA have been the only ones who could file a claim? If so, why didn’t they push hard to make the NFL do it?

Rubio’s argument tracks in that there are people who believe that the Equal Protection Clause should only apply to explicit constitutional rights.

I think there are some people parsing this as the frat, “doing the right things for the wrong reasons,” and I’m not sure that’s an accurate assessment. Based on her personal experience with this frat Grainger had every reason to believe that for very practical reasons this would be damaging to people. This is exactly…

I think the “very fully voiced” remark is a little off. Yeah, she’s taken the liberty to fully express herself here, but at a cost incredibly disproportionate to her. This isn’t a national story because of her remarks- it’s a national story because of the frats’ reactions.

He grew up entirely during the war or in the aftermath of the war, I wouldn’t be surprised if his resentment of America is just more practical now.

Hopefully NBA players have more sense than the NFL players that vote for the top 100.
