Why is it “since someone will ask”? How about “hey gang, this is just logically part of the story.”

Did you consider utilizing some facts or just banging away at the keys randomly? Watch the replay. Escobar caused the issue by fielding the throw with his ‘glove foot’ on the bag - which is also the front foot on this play. Escobar made himself an unnecessary target. If he sticks his right foot on the bag and fields…

“I tell you this, an MLS player would never be able to do that...”

But we can see that tummy roll

Not saying this cut-in still isn’t bad, but you probably should’ve mentioned that the coverage was tape-delayed.

As much as I’m with everyone reasonable who know a Wrigley is a dump that should have been replaced 20 years ago, I’m with the Cubs in this one.

This weird anti-Wrigley obsession Deadspin has is getting creepy.

Protecting players from letting fans accost them before/after a game when they are going to their cars doesn’t seem that crazy.

Well, the 4-8 hitters went 0-fer throughout the game so I wouldn’t pin it on just Bryant.

Northwestern, where she did her grad work, has one of the most prestigious journalism schools in the country. How about you take a look at the notable alumni from there http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medill_Sc…

fan*

Cubs fans? Way to make a story out of nothing, Deadspin. Sounded like one drunken idiot. Maybe change the title to ‘Drunken Cubs fan heckles Bryant’

Cubs fan* is heckling Kris Bryant, don’t make it sound like a concerted effort.

Cubs Fans Are is Already Heckling Kris Bryant With “YOU SUCK!”

This kid mostly seems like a butt hurt little snot. I mean, he seriously talks about no one sitting with him at lunch? That's part of the complaint? WJU should not have suspended the team. That's just more of the current moral panic on college campuses.

I wrote out a long response to this, but jettisoned it, as it would only bring out the tearful pearl clutchers and raging keyboard warriors. Instead, to keep it short, based on what I see here a 5 year ban seems unwarranted.

The only thing out of the ordinary and horrible is the sexual assault stuff...which is terrible.

Did the article say they were white?

So this kid watches a sexual assault, lets a buddy sit on his shoulders to get a better view, but doesn’t report it until 3 months later and only as part of his own unhappiness at being hazed. Fuck this team, but fuck this guy as well.

Ok, yea, it’s an easy joke, and fun to make!
