Incorrect. Some of us read this article only because Sean O’Neal wrote it. Seriously, you could write an article about frozen concentrated orange juice futures and not even mention Trading Places once and I’d still read it.

Here’s what we’ve lost with this decision:

Steve Kerr and Greg Popovich are unrivaled in the most nuanced, articulate takes in the NBA coaching sphere.

False: We actually have laws for incidents involving one person convincing another person to commit murder. It’s still murder. Fuck off.

So a guy is now dead over half the price of a small coffee and the people actually responsible are all washing their hands of it because they don’t understand how consequences work?

The SWAT officer who pulled the trigger is to blame. The person who called the fake incident into the police is to blame. The person who passed along the victim’s address is to blame.

Since I know a lot of readers enjoy the behind-the-scenes moments, here’s how this interview went down:

Awesome: in a last-second bid to up 2017’s descent level of shittiness, I get my very own troll.

Can you ask your basketball source how come LeBron gets to travel every time he touches the ball as if he were Le’Veon Bell waiting for the hole to develop?

Right, because humans can only ever focus on one thing at a time.

I actively dislike kids, and still refuse to watch this to give the guy another view. That’s messed up.

Yeah. This is fucked. Not cool.

I’m going with yes, this is child abuse. I’d guess that even cultures where the children are acclimatized to hot foods would say this crosses a line. Hell, it sprints past that line.

you sound like a blast

Yes.

I was a political science major, and I have been doing a lot of thinking about what a Jones upset would mean. It’s pretty significant, and requires a fair amount of nuanced thinking. So I apologize in advance if this gets kind of dense and long, but here’s the analysis of someone who studies and thinks about this…

That’s not a rockstar thing to do. Grow up.

music was dangerous is what our parents liked to tell us when we were sneaking out to go to concerts. The danger we liked to get into was drugs, drinking, and sex. We liked mosh pits... not because you’d get fucking kicked in the face, but because you’d bump into people and your energy would feed off of theirs. You…

Yeah, you’re right. Thinking about whether or not I’d financially support my favorite artist who drop-kicked someone in the face for no reason is gross over-reaction. What the fuck was I even thinking?

Homme has been my favorite musician for nearly fifteen years and I’d hoped I’d never see him do something like this. Fucking disgraceful. I hope the charges stick.
