...and sports coaches are never violent assholes.

The reason Gayle had to ask the question is pretty simple: Within hours of his death it seemed like everyone involved in basketball and the media were ready to canonize Bryant. This seemed insane to anyone who knew what happened in Colorado when he [allegedly] committed a violent rape and then avoided the consequences…

True. Still, the “new money” doesn’t have to be stupid money. While older money will have the institutional advantage, new money can still get into the game. They just have to be willing to sign checks payable to universities as donations rather than checks payable to some asshole who can get some other asshole to…

That’s true, somewhat. However, when it comes to rich kids getting sweet no-real-work gigs as soon as they graduate, having a USC (or other expensive, famous school) degree and the connections one would naturally make as a student there can mean quite a lot to future earnings.

The old money families aren’t cursing them. They’re laughing.

Barbecue Beef Hot Pockets. Ate a lot of them as a kid (probably stopped around 1991) and loved them every time. While I wouldn’t call them haute cuisine, they tasted nicer than 2-day-old leftovers, were ready fast, and required no utensils.

While side eyeing Goerge Lucas and JK Rowling: “creator’s opinions are not by default valuable opinions.”

You’ve got two complaints here. The second is reasonable to some extent. It would be nice if there was a nominal fee for getting a game on an additional platform. Then again, it would require some sort of universal ID/marketplace system and that will never happen.

Word. Should we wait and let the Republicans do the attacking? Because Trump would find absolutely no shame in the hypocrisy of demanding that Bloomberg release sexual harassment accusers from NDAs. He’d go on and on about it so much that by election day the low-information voters would believe that Bloomberg had paid…

Just a note about “the grays” to both you and Joe: Some us are fine upstanding white folks who don’t put up with racist bullshit. We just don’t know how to improve the color of our words on this site. ;-)

The answer to your obviously rhetorical question is that the supervisor is also a fucking racist. Only a racist or a pure coward (like a Wizard of Oz caricature of a coward) wouldn’t go after an employee using racial slurs on the job.

Dude. All she had to say was “Thank you. He made me uncomfortable.” Damn few people would ever ask a followup question since it’s a hospital and it would be unethical to exclude creeps from receiving medical treatment. Instead, she decided to say something racist.

I was shocked when I realized that what I was seeing on Watchmen was a fictionalization of an actual event. It’s a [white] national shame that generations of public school students (all over the US) never heard anything about this in history classes.

The owners are absolutely the worst. How have they gotten away with black-balling a talented black player for protesting murders?? Congress should have taken away their anti-trust exemption for that.

Yes.

You seem to be operating under the assumption that kids' tastes are fixed. If they get taken to this movie (or see it later at home) and love it, then demand for Sonic goes up. That is the ultimate goal for Sega.

The balls of white southerners who talk about not being racist and then vote for racists.

I guess some of us are just weaklings who get upset when we’ve spent a week or more anticipating a nice evening out at a restaurant about which we were already excited, and then suddenly have our plans canceled..

My boner is on the phone to his lawyer right now.

You think he’ll be invited to any more shows or events with Martha Stewart?
