First by failing to field it cleanly and then by having his throw evaded, Piscotty got cooked twice on that play.

No, but we can see how antagonistic the flight attendant is afterwards. If he’d been nice and apologetic regardless of whose fault it was, she probably would’ve calmed down faster and the other passengers wouldn’t have been horrified.

Hindsight is 20/20; but what do we really expect by giving the flight crew almost unlimited authority over the passengers? Do we expect them to NOT abuse that authority?

After using domestic airlines all my life, I felt like royalty the first time I flew internationally on an Asian airline. I had no idea flying could be such a pleasant experience before that.

I’ve done my share of domestic and international flights—both economy and business—on mostly American and Asian airlines. Domestic airlines in the U.S. have absolutely the worst customer service across the board. Continental and Delta are probably the best among the four (plus United and American), but that’s not…

Women hockey players are never going to be paid like the men, for the same reason that the world’s best bowler makes way less than the worst shortstop in MLB.

“Rather than trying to argue that the NCAA’s regulations are grossly unfair to the athletes and should therefore be invalid, or something similar, Smack Apparel president Wayne Curtiss instead tries making an irrelevant argument about satire in his response to the cease-and-desist.”

I’m absolutely gobsmacked to see a Deadspin writer cite NCAA amateurism regulations as somehow controlling the business activities of an unaffiliated private business.

Cop impersonates an ice agent. And the immigrant fucks him up?

We are in the Upside Down.

Nothing reveals the ridiculous theatricality of modern politics than the fact that when they knew it wouldn’t work House Republicans voted to repeal part or all of the ACA more than 60 times, but they’ve had two months of complete control and haven’t voted to repeal it once.

Which wouldn’t have happened if he didn’t make a slick move at the net; making him slip. #TrutherTruther

Nice block, Midler.

If you haven’t had a bunch of continuances on an old case, setting a misdo trial to work for a defendant’s work schedule is fairly common.

Note that “obstruction of breathing” is legal in NYC if you see someone selling a cigarette.

To require someone to be patriotic is fundamentally un-American. The freedom to publicly state, I am ashamed of my country is the most American thing there is, from the very start of this nation. This is the same mistake made 50 years ago punishing the American act of protest, to make America better.

“This is the land of the free, by God, and you will respect it the way we tell you to, OR ELSE!”

How American, he said, without a hint of irony.

If standing and shit is all about recognizing the freedoms that we have blah blah blah America blah blah blah, do our freedoms not include the right to sit, kneel or turn our backs if we believe America is failing to live up to its promise?

If I’m not mistaken, playing anthems before sporting events started in WWII to double-down on nationalism. Not that it’s likely in the current climate, but a REALLY EASY way to de-politicize sports would be to not play a fucking national anthem before every event.

Players can represent their country only, apparently, if they’re willing to represent the version of the country in which U.S. Soccer is most interested in selling.
