That’s happening to youth pitching too. Leagues/coaches/parents are having to seriously crack down on whichever of them is messing up and leaving these 12 year olds to throw 10,000 curveballs a year. In general, too many parents stuffing their kids in hyper competitive year-round leagues in hopes of developing the…

Part of why the Confederates were essentially “spared” was because Lincoln made it a point that these weren’t foreign adversaries but our neighbors and fellow countrymen who lost their way, so to speak, and he made it a point amongst his generals and staff that the Union Army’s interactions with the Southern populace…

Actually, more and more Blacks have joined and play for hockey teams. I just read that some hockey line, or whatever it’s called, just made history for being all Black. And I think the story may have been on Deadspin. What I gleaned from this article is that at least one hockey team has Black representation in its…

Dame is my favorite current NBA player, but he’s part of those defensive shortcomings.

This is pretty fucking straight-forward: the infected team forfeits as many games as it takes to get back to uninfected. C’mon brain-geniuses, it’s not football science. 

And that’s when it’s not funny anymore. ‘Law and order’ really means let me do as I please, because I am in charge.

You obviously never had the mob control your neighborhood. The term “Law” is relative to who is dispensing punishments.

Of course you’re right.

This is why I tell them I’m pro-life. They like to hear that, so before they go off on their usual spin I say, “That’s why I think police should stop killing people.”

Right winger: “If I die, I die”

Imagine is every NFL team did this on any given Sunday.  Just stayed home.  The resulting terror at possibly being deprived of our national bloodsport might actually bring about real change.

ted and youtubing as we speak, definitely seems what i was looking for. punk is about rebellion and resistance, it should be a natural fit. now we need 20 more, heh.

Exactly. We’re two moves away from checkmate and people think we can rally and somehow win the game.

Much as one must do at a candy store, pick a few and let’s go!

It is totally fine for people to just say “folks are excited about this racy song, and I will pass because I’m not the audience”. No need to bring your children (that you probably don’t take care of) into it or a “distraction” diatribe.

Can we do away with the tradition of playing the fucking anthem before games anyway? It was played during war time as a sign of patriotism, all while denying servicemen of color rights under the GI Bill when they came home, and then morphed into this gross spectacle of military bullshit. While we are at it can…

In my defense, I’m a Bears fan so I can usually stop paying attention to the NFL by mid November.

Rice is the better pick, but his campaign badly needs some (positive) energy. So it’s going to be K-Harris. Don’t sleep on Benghazi being a big motivator for the right if Rice is selected. These are the same motherfuckers who believed in Pizzagate.

Hopefully we’re on our way to getting there.

Kids at school means that parents can go back to work and “the economy” can come back.
