5,500 incidents out of 1.3 billion rides is actually quite low. 

I’d like to know how those numbers compare with simply going outside on a daily basis. I’d wager a guess that you’re still far safer calling for an Uber after dark than walking home alone.

The point is that we don’t need to be chastised for driving cars. It’s not the problem and, even if it were, trying to guilt people into not driving isn’t going to work. Most people who drive do so because they have to in order to support themselves and their families. For many, it’s not asking them to stop eating…

Bingo. They over-saturated their product. In combination with politics being dragged in, monster tv/player/coach contracts that inflate ticket prices, and the way society is going as a whole; football just doesn’t have the same appeal it did up until the mid to late 2000's. 

$50k for an Edge? What in the actual fuck....

I’m pretty sure he is actually talking historically. If we had more than a 35 second clip we might be able to parse the information better. Or would that hurt the snarky article? 

Didn’t see the game, but I’ll just assume Michael Bradley played.

shocking that someone employing an MLK quote on social media did not actually mean it

I remember referring to any giant wing on a car in the 90s as a “Supra-style wing”.

*you’re. I learned grammar at my liberal brainwash university 

So fuck Ellen, but China is OK. Got it.

Nice detour on israel; note that no one actually brings up what China is doing to it’s Muslim population because no one wants to upset them and jeopardize business interests with the world’s second largest economy. 

wait what? “that China-Hong Kong should be placed right alongside Israel-Palestine as terrible things no one in their right mind should want to call out publicly” is deadspin trying to pull a grey lady and two-side this issue?

If you can’t adequately drive it with a cigarette in one hand and a beer in the other, then it is a failure of design.

Except for all the off-season lobbying he did for tighter roughing the passer calls, which is the entire impetus for this post and everyone’s snark. But other than that, yeah. No input. 

Y’all were bashing Tesla and this attempt for an entire week about this. gg

Ehh, go to any NFL tailgate and you’ll find horrendously drunk people who’ve suddenly grown beer muscles.

This is really your primary take away from this incident?

I usually am highly supportive of the wacky answers, but I thought this time they missed the essence of the letter writer’s issue (and I think he did as well).

I was about to say the same thing! Like, umm there is one comment? And I don’t think he is flaming or complaining, he’s just saying he can’t put himself in the protagonist’s shoes, which I would say is fair. Seemed reasonable.
