You appear to have nuked all the comments about Semenya’s XY chromosomes and the related athletic advantage that it could confer, as well as shunning me to the grays. Interesting editorial choice, that.

You’re going to get shunned to the grays if you talk sense like this in this thread. Good luck. 

No, gender normalcy is not the whole problem. Semenya has an XY chromosome and elevated T-levels. That has nothing to do with her gender.

... snapping up half-neighborhoods at a time and jacking the rent up nearly 30 percent, putting local real estate agents out of business and pushing poor people further away from the remaining areas with consistent work.

All that stupid prep to swing wayyyyy behind the high heat. He got clowned.

What, you actually know how horse racing works? Get out of here with that relevant knowledge and bring me the hot taeks about how replay sucks and is bad.

That is a very optimistic route for one lap of ‘America’. It’s not even one lap of the midwest. 

You have to admit that pirouetting from enforcing a despicable government policy to reaping enormous profits from that policy as a private citizen is quite the grift, and also very on brand for this administration. 

Kwame Brown* had a VW engine in a Ferrari body, but Jokic has a Ferrari engine in the body of a freshly opened can of buttery bake-at-home biscuits, and I love it. (I give the guy shit but he is a beast with superb skills and it is great fun to watch.)

I leased one for three years (2016-19), and it was a great car in many respects: cheap to own because they had deals available, mostly cheap to operate (see below), excellent gas mileage, excellent interior, attractive exterior (YMMV), fit and finish was top notch.

Jokic would float along the surface, like a delicious doughy cloud of puff pastry.

That is good. Cold, but good.

There’s a big gap between squeezing every last penny out of a deal and leaving, very conservatively, ten million dollars on the table. Split the difference, and you get $5 million. That is a significant percentage of his contract, and he gave it away because he had poor representation and he is bad at business. And…

I appreciate the slow trip around the base paths. When I was a kid I watched Kevin Mitchell hit a massive dong at Candlestick back in the late 80s and he walked from third base to home plate. And not a fast walk, either. The man was in no hurry at all.

Sports is a business, and if you want to make business decisions based on emotion, like this:
