I’m really tired of the “taken out of context” excuse.

I would agree with Zeetal on this, they have it right. Colleges mainly use “safe space” to let students know who are struggling with some issue, it’s okay for you to process or get help here for X,Y,Z issue. It’s not used across campus to make everything “Safe” for everyone which is a ridiculous idea. When I use the…

“if one demands an echo chamber during this phase of their life, how will they function later?”

Your statement demonstrates a clear misunderstanding of the use and construct of “safe spaces” and then goes on to give the very reason why they exist (hint: to give people space to process their experiences with trained and/or like-minded and/or like-experienced individuals who can facilitate that processing).

When comedians complain that they can’t do comedy now that “everyone gets offended” what they’re really saying is “our job is too hard now that we can’t pressure women and minorities into awkwardly chuckling when we blatantly insult them.”

They’re just mad because they can’t make money and be left alone while making lazy jokes that point fun at the already marginalized anymore. If anyone needs a safe space, it’s them, and it’s obnoxious that they don’t realize that they are the whiny ones.

we are cognizant and sensitive to both sides of the discussion.

I’m an Indians fan that has wanted it gone for years. Fucking finally. They’re gonna sell a fuck load of Wahoo merchandise this year though. Theoretically I guess it’s good that they’ll hold on to the trademark. They can limit the amount of merch sold and, if they didn’t hold on to it, one of the Cleveland t-shirt…

I’m sure she’s gotten some shitty DMs. I have no problem if she releases them and exposes those assholes. But that isn’t an indictment of the entire media complex, just shitty mainstream media employees.

Tomi and her are really competing hard to see who can make more racist statements and maintain some relevance in order to get a paycheck.

Britt McHenry made me side with a tow trucking company. I hate her for that.

Release whatever you got, Britt. We’d all love to see it.

Poor Tomi.

Agreed, but if PSU didn’t get the Death Penalty, they can pretty much remove the phrase from all lists of possible sanctions.

Well when the head of the NCAA is made aware of this 8 years ago and shrugs his shoulders, it’s safe to say that the entire system is horrifically flawed.

At this point, it’s less “is my school’s Athletic Department scummy?” and more “just how scummy is my school’s Athletic Department?”

Obviously Deadspin isn’t the place that needs this said but while I’m happy if both guys get fired and MSU gets the death penalty we shouldn’t kid ourselves that this is anything other than the latest round of whack-a-mole when it comes to this. Whether it’s FSU or Penn State or Notre Dame or wherever we have enough…

“I’ve cooperated with every investigation. Every one.”

Criticize Izzo and Dantonio all you want—the “unlimited rape without punishment” message is loud and clear out of East Lansing and it’s a recruiting tool very few coaches use for some reason.
