I agree Davis looks like a sore loser, but on what are you basing your conclusion that he pulled the race card? Seems to me he is suggesting that his being more successful in prior Games should have counted for something, but clearly it didn’t (though I don’t think race had anything to do with it). 

Oh yeah, little ones fuck up your free time bigly. I have a 3.5- and a 2-year-old. Haven’t worked out since the first one was born, get much less sleep than I did pre-kids (it’s a minor miracle when both sleep through the night), diet is less varied (because they are picky eaters). I hear it gets easier when they’re…

THIS ^^^. And it’s sad I had to scroll so far down before this point was made. The FCC can’t do shit to USA, TNT, etc. because they have no jurisdiction. No doubt they still get a shit ton of nasty grams from pearl-clutchers who here an occasional damn, shit, crap, asshole or (god forbid) fuck on basic cable.

As usual, you are wrong. ‘Sparty, NO!’ is well known outside the mitten state; don’t lump me in with those douches from AA. And what is pathetic and shameful is your pitiful defense of the MSU Athletic Department. So go fuck yourself, Stevie.

*my* true motivation?? Stevie, dude, I’m not the author of the article. I just responded to your query about how to link sexual assault with punching a girl in the face at a bar. I (repeatedly) provided you that link, i.e., violence against women, which not only connects the misconduct by FB and MBB players, but also…

JFC, don’t be so obtuse. I wrote that punching a woman in the face and sexual assault are two types of violence against women, which is why they are referenced in the same article. That the headline only mentions sexual assault, while the article discusses other forms of violence against women, is neither my fault nor…

Fair enough. So instead of being kicked off the team, he could have been fired. Same result, i.e., dissociation from the program.

You asked what punching a woman in the face has to do with sexual assault. I answered your question. I didn’t realize I had to frame my answer based on the headline to the article. And while the article centers on the coaches’ reactions/statements to the sexual abuse scandal, the article also discusses the Walton…

And that’s nonsense about a school doing better athletically means it does better academically.

One could argue that punching a woman in the face at a bar and raping a woman are both examples of violence against women. Perhaps if the coaches let players skate in both scenarios it evidences a culture, permitted, if not perpetuated by the coaches, of allowing violence against women. And perhaps they should accept…

I get your point, but some/many of the “facts” you point to are just plain wrong. In particular the idea that “they don’t generate any revenue for the schools and pretty much no one gives a flying fuck about them”, at least among the big programs (i.e., most of the Power 5). Even by their own accounting (which is…

No, it’s still bullshit. You claimed that the act of resignation is what would ruin their lives. My point was and continues to be that their dereliction of duty and failure of oversight while on the board is what would (and in a just world, should) ruin their lives Their resignation is a mostly meaningless gesture —…

None of these people made their living sitting on this board. The majority of the board members (excluding the employee-officers) didn’t get paid anything, and of those who did get paid, they averaged ~$7000. And from what I could tell doing a quick look at the board, none of them were ‘professional’ board members —…

The same people who would hire someone who sat on a board that let a pedophile get away with it. In other words, their lives were “ruined” when they allowed Nassar to abuse those gymnasts, not when they resigned from the board.

True, assuming they care about anyone but themselves. Based on recent events, I’m not sure that is a safe assumption.

Resigning from the board of USAG is going to “ruin their lives”?! First, I respectfully call bullshit. Based on their most recent IRS 990, of the 20 non-officer board members (i.e., everyone but the CEO, CFO and President), 13 didn’t receive any compensation, and the 7 who did received an average of $7000. Losing that…

Some people just don’t know to quit when they’ve lost. They’re the bank robbers surrounded at the crime scene, thinking they can shoot their way to freedom. Instead they’ll get gunned down by the cops (i.e., USOC), and take some hostages (i.e., USAG) down with them. At this point, USAG may be so tainted that they need…

I knew a husband and wife who did similar, though they set up a shell company to receive the payments. In the end they siphoned $2 million. Once the internal investigation began at the wife’s employer, they flew the coop. (And by ‘flew the coop’, I mean that one night they went into a basement closet, lit two charcoal…

Try turning off Fox “News” and Alex Jones and reading a real newspaper. Despite the protestations of Cheetolini, the news reporting in the Washington Post, NY Times and WSJ (feel free to ignore the editorial sections) is quite good and provides you with a much better understanding of reality. What you learn from Fox &…

Do you have Ads Personalization turned on? And if so, do you have a check in the box for “Also use Google Account activity and information to personalize ads...”? I have personalization on, but not check for “Also use Google Account activity”, and I don’t have a Reminders option either (either on desktop or phone).…
