“Others have optimistically suggested that in the short term, voice chat will make communication clearer, preventing people from flying off the handle, and perhaps with time, the HOTS community will police itself to a point of squeaky clean kindness.”

This has never, ever ever ever, ever ever, ever happened. Ever. In…

The “REAL football” joke never fails to be just as unclever as it was the last time someone used it, 5 seconds ago.

I like the scare quotes around “preventing toxicity” as though that were a bad thing.

I mean, Trump suffers from arrested development, so from a mental standpoint they’re about on the same level.

None of this speaks to the poster’s point of it being unnecessary, though. Whether he can back it up or not is immaterial to the point being expressed.

Not taking a side, but just saying that this isn’t really a rebuttal of the argument.

That is literally the joke.

Jesus, are Pats fans completely irony-impaired?

That was pretty obviously the joke.

All the extremely defensive Pats fans in here railing against you and just proving the point is delicious.

It really, really isn’t. Dude punched a guy in the head, and pleaded down to 3rd degree assault from a felony.

You don’t give that an award. It doesn’t matter how “into it” he was.

The *sass* from Alex on this was fucking legend.

I mean, it’s not that hard to understand why they’re doing it.

Innes is the guy 790 brilliantly replaced Charlie Pallilo with, and if you know this town, you know that Charlie is the best thing that ever happened to sports talk here. No nonsense, had an encyclopedic sports knowledge about almost every sport, and really engaging with callers.

Fucking hell.

I wouldn’t expect anyone to bat an eye.

The most famous living monarch on Earth is a woman and she also happens to be the one most Americans are familiar with, even if only in passing.

I caught that too. Franklin and Keys are alive.

Seems harsh to point it out though.

You’re gonna be real upset when the sentence is 6 months.

“Why weren’t they reported to law enforcement?”

If you were actually paying attention to this story, you would know that many of them *were*.

Authorities swept them under the rug. 

What on Earth are you talking about?

“I never have, and never will understand the appeal of horse racing unless you either own the horse, or have money on the horse.”

This can literally be said about every professional sport with only minor alterations. 

Trump has spent essentially his entire life laboring under the believe that everyone is out to get him at any given moment.

This is definitely how a professional sports league that wants to be taken seriously does things. 100 percent.
