Most Deadspin articles about men's tennis take everything way too seriously, and the comments on those articles are full of pretentious know-it-alls. Kyrgios is probably the most fun player in men’s tennis right now, and fun seems to be taboo for a lot of people who follow (and play) the sport.

VAR is mostly good. But also CONCACAF referees are mostly very bad. Ask Messi how much VAR helps when the referees assigned to a match are some combination of bad and corrupt.

And?

Celebrating. Your. Accomplishments. Is. Not. Disrespect.

Usually this site reserves this kind of masturbatory, strawman-arguing writing for soccer. It’s nice to see it expanding into other sports.

LA Galaxy did one of these. Which makes somewhat more sense since they play the same sport. They put Sebastian Lletget on theirs, which also makes some sense since he (sometimes) plays for the USMNT. But also Alex Morgan’s husband Servando Carrasco plays for the Galaxy, so why not him? I mean, he’s not very good, but…

Fuck Olly.

Authoritarianism has nothing to do how centralized control is or how large government is. It has everything to do with strict, even blind, adherence to authority. Authoritarians tend to believe that children should never question their parents, employees should never question their employers, civilians should never…

and speculated that the injury could have been much worse given that clouds had covered up the harsh sun that shined over Orlando prior to the game

It's typical Narcissist's Prayer material. "That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was…"

It's almost like the nature of the medium, including the spectacle and the pace, make it easier to enjoy without focusing on story issues.

Have you actually seen it, or just read the script?

It would’ve been one thing if Musk had said something similarly profane in response. I don’t think that would’ve been that big of a deal. That truly would’ve been two guys “being shits”. But calling someone a pedophile isn’t simply “being a shit”. It’s an extremely serious accusation that has the potential to ruin…

The “both sides" thing is lazy. Musk’s retaliatory response is WAY more problematic than anything the guy said to or about him.

You understand why, out of all the ways that Musk could’ve chosen to retaliate, he decided to baselessly accuse the guy of being a pedophile? Please, enlighten us.

I think it might be possible to structure some sort of league system that creates strategy around whether the Seeker should catch the Snitch even if their team is losing. Soccer uses things like goal difference and away goals for tiebreaking. Hockey gives one point to a team that loses in overtime. Maybe a Quidditch…

The funniest thing about Kobe Bryant’s retirement “announcement” yesterday is that Kobe Bryant was clearly the last person to know that this would be Kobe Bryant’s final season.

I’m not sure whether you actually think that people are specifically defending the brand or you’re just being reductive to make a point, but this isn’t about one brand or brands in general. It’s about the right of anyone to not take anything so fucking seriously. We’ve come to the point where anything can be…

(by its very definition, a ship has to sail through uncharted waters)

I've been reading since about 2007, and Lifehacker has always been one of my favorite blogs. As a pretty hardcore computer geek, I haven't always loved the new direction that the site has taken (and the quality of some writers has been questionable), but overall it's still great and there's still at least one really…
