So I take it you also think it was appropriate that he used the podium after the Preakness win to bitch about Churchill Downs, because he had the "most people listening"?

Here's the problem I have with that argument. The horse had 3 weeks off between the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes. It's not like CC had to run an extra race the same day or even the day before. He had 3 weeks off to rest up and practice. Granted, yes he is training during that time, but still it's three weeks…

Is that why in 1978 when Affirmed won, three of the five entrants either hadn't run the Derby, Preakness, or both? Total sour grapes. Do some research.

I don't know how progressive things are when a woman dies from a miscarriage because it's difficult to have an abortion performed- in a circumstance that threatens the mother.

I KNEW this was coming; not because I saw Jenny's tweet, but because I saw Kelly Oxford's. Jenny deleted her tweet before I could see what Kelly was responding to. Regardless, this is the correct response to an offensive tweet that isn't even mildly amusing.

As a Hoosier living in Louisville, I heartily endorse this plan.

The team or the country?

Agreed, it's an inaccurate comparison.

The first part of your post sounds like absolute gibberish. As a fat woman I can tell you that I do not face prejudice on the same level as a POC. Do not compare the two again.

Sorry, but "thin privilege" isn't in the same LEAGUE as being white, male, or straight. Don't even start.

Good god, shut up.

Wow.

Black people can't lose the black, buddy.

"Is it also as dangerous for a white person to talk back to the police as a black person? Maybe it's just as hard for young men to be taken seriously on the job as young women?"

It's brave for ANY person to walk around naked in public.

The fact that she didn't want to give 'men her phone number' is such a smaller factor in the story than the part about how they were a group of religious fanatics trying to recruit her. Stop perpetuating this female warrior/victim bullshit, it's annoying and makes this blog impossible to read.

How timely. Bryant Gumbel just did a report for HBO about rampant racism in soccer. There are plenty of folks in England who would happy to have this wearable flag without the red cross on it.

Except that, well, the KKK is internationally renowned in most countries with a significant "white" population.

Highly recommend watching the excellent piece on Euro soccer racism that aired on HBO Real Sports. It is horrifying. Basically makes US racism look like good natured ribbing.

The Jim Rome Show was at its best whenever Jay Mohr guest-hosted. Now that Mohr has his own show, and it's on about 10000x as many stations as Rome's, there's really no reason to listen to Rome.
