Which is still not true, though, as Barry Bond’s #756 sold for $752K in 2008 and was from the 2000s.

And, of course, that is a goddamn ton of money for a piece of sports memorabilia. Here’s an interesting note, from the report: the only piece of memorabilia to sell for more than this family ring in the past 25 years was a Mike Piazza uniform worn in the first Mets game after September 11, which reportedly sold for…

Yea, those in a rush to claim this is a bunch of ignorant Americans/Whites/whatever seem to be unaware (somewhat ironically) of what Tencent is, a very sophisticated conglomerate.

Makes you wonder how carefully and thoughtfully they are actually putting together Chinese content versus haphazardly, and who has been put in charge of it at the NBA office.

Is it like a racist-fascist or something?

If any company wants to fix this then have a “non white” person screen ideas and audios for anything that slips by everybody else. That way they can offer an opinion and then they can edit, or not.

One other note, the $20K cut-off line as the highest bracket is a bit odd. A$25K is extremely different in character (the people, their backgrounds, etc.) than a $100K wedding. Even if we accept the premise that money spent has a meaningful impact on relationship success, it very well could be a non-linear…

I wanted to be as diplomatic as possible in my comments ;)

Thank you for your response. One follow-up:

In fact, “those who spent the most on their weddings ($20,000 or more) were, on average, at greater risk for divorce.”

Wat?

“Bro” is a pejorative. It has been used for decades as such. it assumes unearned inimacy, and has subtly homoerotic connotations

Earnest question here. How is her not being invited any different from say the Star Wars Expanded Universe writers not being invited to Star Wars movie premieres? I honestly don’t know enough about what the “extended Panther world” entails.

+1 very relevant correction

it’s also true that his ERA has been broadly trending in the wrong direction since his breakout 2013 with the Rangers, and he was roughed up pretty significantly in the World Series.
