I love these articles but being a Patriots fan it’s always such a bummer having to wait so long for you guys to get to them.

So...is it just my computer or does that gif really suck?

You spelled “definition” wrong.

Yeah, I mean to say the same basic thing you said. I didn’t make my point clearly enough...my fault. What I mean to say is, people can and will do openly racist things at public events like baseball games without it necessarily causing an altercation, precisely because of what you say.

The character is the whole thing. If you named a team the Frederick Douglasses and had a black sambo for a mascot there really is nothing redeeming in the origin of the team name.

Information is only proprietary when you keep it secret. Once you publish it, it’s out there. If Jaws had read and entire…

Nope, sadly, bulls are almost dead by the time they get to the arena (they get stabbed multiple times to “weaken” the animal. He would have died sooner or later, but I’m guessing he was finished off soon after this.
