“Now, I’m no racist, but I believe a white, Christian player wouldn’t have done what this black athlete did.”

It’s funny how the ultra-wealthy still need to have their kids attend prestigious schools. Like, these assholes haven’t reached the “I hired a private tutor and sent my child on a grand tour” stage of wealth. Seriously, your family is famous for defrauding people through real estate, you’ve made hundreds of millions…
This story made me smile, a lot. It reminded me how not all old people are reactionary shitheads who should have their right to vote revoked. I think the people on Chapo got it right in their interview with Osita Nwanevu: reactionary shitheads have always been that way, and they just happen to be more prevalent among…
So, what empire-based team would win? Is that what we are asking here? Most modern empires would suck with the exception of France. The Spanish empire team would be great up until 1821, but there would be quite some time of floundering after that. Top five empire teams would be Ottoman, Achaemenid, Incan, Roman, and…
It has been frustrating to watch liberal pundits discuss this issue in terms of the pettiness of the White House, and not how the Democrats can make the ending of cash bail, the funding of universal pre-K, the creation of a jobs program, the legalization of marijuana, and the expansion of medicare to all the…
Gotta love the galaxy brain take of “I don’t agree with her position that all black people should be sent to prison, but no one should cause physical harm to anyone.” Please, Kathy Griffin, tell me how you have skin in the game?
They need a union, bad. I know some might question how a union could’ve prevented such an egregious display of avarice—a win is inherently linked to future moneys to the corner—but a union empowers laborers to confront the adversarial nature of capitalism including the disgusting mental calculus (we all do) of “how…
Giving way too much credit here, but is this the Curb Your Enthusiasm ‘beautiful wife’ theory?:
“Joey Votto is a national treasure.” He is a Canadian national treasure—don’t get it twisted, he is on loan.
In Miami we get the fight songs we deserve. From T-Pain’s remix of the Dolphins’ fight song, to Pitbull’s Miami Heat playoffs song. But nothing sums up the 305 in the best/worst way possible than Pitbull’s diss track after Lil’ Wayne insulted Bosh’s wife:
He was fucking his cocaine dealer, right? Like, either that or he admitted to his dealer that the NBA has been fixing playoff games. Them’s the only two options, folks.
Someone wake me up when he joins either Aryan Brotherhood or Nation of Islam.
Kevin, we get it, you’re not soft.
With confidence, I can say that we don’t ask for sympathy in regards to having a mediocre (at best) team; we want people to empathize with us over having to deal with ownership who have nothing but blind contempt to offer its fan-base. As the owner of the Marlins, Loria was a cartoonishly horrid human who demanded…
[Clears throat, stares nervously at mic, and then raises confident stare ahead]
“And he did it because of how he cares about minorities and their causes....” Fuck off, Dan.
I hope this ends with them creating the first ever professional NBA 2K league so that they can all play together. Jesus, I’m only asking for two things to come true in my lifetime:
I got choked up last night, which feels dumb but made sense as a natural reaction since I’ve spent so many years watching the world cup with my family. Since I’ve been alive, Peru has never made it to the world cup — they have had strong showings at various tournaments, but they have never even made it to the big…
What’s nuts is that we live in this reality where all of this is ‘shocking’ but kind of par for course. I mean, I am not surprised that a known wealthy individual, who got drunk at home, might have been a little bit jumpy when a delivery service showed up at his door — bringing an order he ostensibly cancelled, as far…
I’m sure he was thinking “this isn’t supposed to happen, Trump is in office, I shouldn’t have to worry about being disrespected,” the whole time he demanded to interrogate the children.
