I’m sure that Joe is filled with pride as he looks up at today's ceremony.

It’s ironic that the building with Joe Paterno’s name on it, is a building where people aren’t supposed to talk and everyone is quiet.
It’s just strange that in one breath Joe supporters are like “He was more than a coach to this college! He was a brilliant and all-knowing member of the campus!” and then a second later are like “But how could he have known about the abuses? He was just a simple ho hum de dum football coach.”
Next up: the Wizard’s new “Ford’s Theater” commemorative throwback.
Did you read the whole article? The problematic aspect of the uniforms and the museum itself is that they very much do focus on his death rather than life.
Spin it all you want Memphis, celebrating the fact MLK was killed in your city and incorporating it into your uniforms is pretty damn terrible.
I was going to be one of those people and leave a comment saying that people should stop getting offended by everything, but this is a good article. I think if they wanted to honor him, they should just put a patch or something on the jersey. Modeling the jersey after the place King got killed? That’s kinda rude and…
I think he means they’re “fetishizing” and “commodifying” his physical death rather than his ideology or activism.
It’s the I Have a Dream Team.
The sea foam color accents, numbers and piping are pulled directly from the doors at rooms 306 and 307, where Dr. King spent his last moments on April 4, 1968.
I did. And je ne regrette rien.
Thank god you didn’t get involved with the Pilafs....
I crossed the rice mob once. Got mixed up in a turf war between “Uncle” Ben and the Roni family.
An angry Baylor fan went up to confront MOB members after the performance. Rice students calmed the situation and walked him to concourse
Ah, but how seriously can you take someone who also whines about “BLM nut jobs.”
Your comment needs more over-reaction.
I get the feeling he’s mixing in his old “clueless” persona when it comes to things like race (“I don’t see race. People tell me I’m white and I believe them because...”) It worked and was funny when he was a character, but not at “himself.” But as you said, it’s it really him or leftover from his character.
I’d like to think that too. The major problem is those questions don’t come off as smooth now that he’s being himself on tv. It’s super awkward when he does it. Even when he’s trying to be humorous like with Rashida Jones. Maybe he needs to practice asking that question multiple times in makeup or something.
