Add in the bicycle track that fell into the ocean and killed 2 people, and Rousseff is giving Putin a run for the “piss on your leg and tell you it’s raining” money by pretending anything about this Olympics is going to work. I honestly think we might see athletes die from swimming in that sewage water.

I’m still continually impressed that the Rio Olympics are a thing that is still happening. Despite the complete and utter unpreparedness of Rio which includes not just a lack of facilties but a failure to clean up polluted areas the atheletes will be forced to compete in. Added to the high crime rates of Rio and the…

You know, you might have had a point up til you started talking about how great Canada’s unis looked...those look like hipster douche trash sportcoats, not “we mean business suits”.

Honestly, I just find it sad all around.

But you know as well as I do that when people disregard “race, sex, or any other consideration” they hire white men. That’s what that language means. That’s what you’ve absorbed, whether you want to admit it or not. That’s how you fully justify all white male cabinets, boards, workplaces. That’s how you justify sexism…

I think you Americans should do a better job at getting more women into Congress. Studies show that congresswomen (yes, both Democrats and Republicans) are more likely to push for bills that help women that than their male counterparts

there have been rumors about jay and dame sharing women since the 90s, so i dont think so

...No. If Philip Roth was allowed to write the same fucking story over and over, about boring, ruthless men on navel-gazing quests for sexual fulfillment — and win prizes for it — and be called one of the greatest writers of his generation — I think we as a culture can afford Beyoncé space to take what is personal to h…

I feel like Beyonce is being quite direct, not really anything passive about it. She’s putting a personal experience, one that unfortunately is shared by many, in a political context. If that’s over your head it’s one thing, but it seems like if you’re reading a post about it and commenting on it, you give more than a…

They might have taken off their seatbelts to you know. Try and escape the car?

I guess it’s only a matter of time before an actual one in a million case comes up...

Want to bring up to everyone that this is in Florida, in a murky pond, at night, right after a big water-disturbing commotion.

You mean places without fully developed social safety nets and economic systems? Not sure how those are a relevant comparison.

A small town? A series of inexplicable murders?

So, your stance is that the words of a reporter shouldn’t be printed if they might reflect poorly on him?

You realize there were prominent female writers in the 1960s, right? Taleses’ contemporaries include Joyce Carol Oates who out-wrote him in their competing works on Boxing, and the downtroden men who aspire to make their life in the ring or die trying.

This is a really ageist comment. I work with people in this gentleman’s age group. You have no idea what you are talking about.

I see. Women are a recent invention, then, popping up somewhere around the time bras were being (mysteriously and apocryphically) burned. Before that, nothing.

The fact that he’s being asked to speak at journalism conferences suggests that he is not yet irrelevant. If he were sitting on his couch watching sports on TV in his retirement home, like the 84-year-old grandpa of anyone else, then sure, this would be irrelevant. But unless he’s your 84-year-old grandpa, I don’t…

He's so irrelevant he was asked to speak at an industry event. Nice argument there
