There’s a case to be made that they handled it wrong. There were three ways it could have played out:

They willingly put themselves in a situation where their only source of income is begging strangers online for money so that they can keep playing videogames, that’s not a sustainable way of life by any means and the longer they keep deluding themselves into thinking that it is, the worse off they’ll be within the…

Thank god you’re leaving. It gets tiresome interacting with ignorant jackasses.

No. I don’t.

You seem to be dying on the hill that because the affluent neighbors didn’t actively and maliciously want to prioritize their own superficial desires over the basic safety concerns of the Grenfell residents, that the wealthy weren’t at all a factor.

Problem is thaat the money was available to make it look pretty, but not to actually fix the multitude of problems that could cause a fire. I’d say that’s pretty enlightening considering what happened.

There’s still pressure though. I don’t know why you guys don’t seem to be able to grasp this concept. His legacy is at stake. If he was anything other than great in this series, he’d be forever branded as a guy who had to ride someone else’s coattails. He’s faced more criticism over the last 11 months than he has at…

The Cavs aren’t getting anything from anyone other than their top three guys. LeBron is LeBroning so hard that for the first time ever, he actually looks tired in the second half. Love is playing admirably, though his defense will never be great. Kyrie’s not playing his best but 19-and-7 isn’t actually bad for the…

If his advisors were smart, they’d make the launch codes something he would never ever say like, “I lost the popular vote,” or “I love Tiffany as much as I do Ivanka.”

One day, the kids will see the movie and ask, “Did it really happen like that?” And we will shake our heads sadly and explain that, no, it was so much stupider.

Could be that too. I’m not saying that’s not the biggest, hugest, bigliest, most exceptionally luxurious part of it... he was clearly a deeply messed up, horrible dude.

I just love the people who keep saying I’m somehow absolving Hernandez of any responsibility in his crimes, as if responsibility is either a 100 or 0 percent factor.

But how many people with millions of dollars in annual income are behaving this way?

The responses to you and the number of likes they have received are fucking depressing on a human level. And it’s not because that sentiment exists in general, but because it is the profound majority on a website where I thought we could have nuanced conversations about the human condition and the role of society. But…

As a fellow member of society, I’m going to say I see what FGJustice is saying. There’s a deep, centuries-old sickness in our society in how we view being male, that all the college scholarships and money in the world won’t fix. We encourage boys to be aggressive, to not back down, to fight, to demand respect, etc.…

Appreciate the nuance, ignore the lazy groupthink of “he’s was a rich athlete so he gets no sympathy” as if dude wasn’t a human being and didn’t grow up in a tough environment. Doesn’t excuse anything he did, but this isn’t a black and white case of “only bad people do bad things”.

Yes society failed him. Years of injecting himself with steroids that would make Lyle Alzado blush, had nothing to do with it. Fuck you society.

Yeah, but what do we learn when we can’t have admiration for humans even though they commit monstorous crimes. Giving up and not caring if another human kills themselves no matter how bad still plays a part in the story that is the hatred of humanity. Sure it’s not you’re job to care about everyone, but it seems like…

You get a star from me. Fuck every single one of these replies that refuses to acknowledge that this human being was not born wanting to do the horrible things he did, and fuck then for acting like acknowledging that fact is somehow absolving him of responsibility.

So maybe, MAYBE the failure is in the fact that we take young boys and teach them to be endlessly aggressive, and beat a level of violent competition and unwillingness to compromise or lose into them.

It wasn’t about “just a football player” it was that some people can maintain some perspective and avoid raping,…
