Bullshit. Name a company that went out of business because it’s product was too good.

If you’re not smart enough to interpret sarcasm, I don’t think Deadspin is going to be the right place for you.

Sure. That’s why Ferrari and Bentley don’t make any money, Apple went out of business years ago, and it’s Louis Vuitton not Sears that’s having financial trouble... oh, wait, none of that is true because taking care of the quality of your product ensures the long term viability of your brand. It’s almost like you have…

I’m just happy to see the vets that thought that they were screwing the younger guys actually screwing themselves out of jobs. Nothing is more offensive to the idea of collective bargaining than artificially capping the salaries of those that haven’t yet joined your union and therefore aren’t voting on the contract.

What’s false about it? A disciplinarian ought to have some self-discipline. Trying to get to the other team’s locker room for a fight is shit that happens in juniors, not something NHL coaches should ever do.

I think it also needs to be notarized.

That was a negotiation to get DWS to quit the DNC since there was no way to force her resignation. She was given a non-paid, honorary position with no responsibilities or power in order to get her out of a position that was paid and did have responsibilities and power. At least know what the fuck you’re talking about,…

Some super-flammable substance in the car ignited because he shot himself? Dunno, any other options seem less likely than being killed by someone who also set the car on fire.

Trick question. None of that is his hair.

Pro tip: don’t click on and then comment on a story if you don’t like it. They measure audience engagement, not audience enjoyment, in order to find out what’s working. If you don’t want to see articles like this, making a comment that gets a few dozen stars and a dozen or so replies is a really bad way to make sure…

Just keep repeating that joke, eventually someone will laugh.

Don’t pretend we’re newly at that place. Humanity has always been shit. And in reality society is getting more decent all the time.

No. His intent to protest the way the nation’s police and politicians handle something has nothing to do with the fact that you were in ROTC or whatever. Shut the fuck up already.

The difference here is “if I say I mean it in a good way” — he’s not “saying” he doesn’t mean to offend soldiers, he really doesn’t mean it as a protest against soldiers. Your formulation assumes he’s lying about intent (like your dirt kicking example). Instead, what if you kicked the dirt on someone that was on fire…

There are dozens of comments on this page where you start with “I’m a soldier, my opinion counts the most” — you had to know you aren’t the only deadspin reader that’s also a soldier. Did you not anticipate someone pointing that out?

Thank you for your service, and for understanding the difference between respect for your service and sacrifice (something I have a ton of) and blind flag worship.

Wait, you’re buried in Arlington?

The economic successes of the US prior to 1900 are certainly directly linked to abuses of black Americans. Are you fucking kidding? Or do you not think that billions of dollars in free labor subsidizing an entire economy would be helpful to those that work in that economy? This country is built on slavery. Get your…

Every one of those soldiers would tell you they died for your right to criticize them (which isn’t even what’s happening when he doesn’t stand for the anthem because of police brutality and political malfeasance). Maybe it’s time for you to head back to Fox.com where everything can be binary and simple.

My biggest beef with his complaints is that he’s complaining about what are state and local actors (namely police) and pointing the criticism at the federal government that has investigated civil rights abuses in Ferguson, in Baltimore, in a number of the places where bad shootings have happened recently. Sure the…
