Ive lived in Charlotte for close to a decade and Ive never met a Hornets fan. There are alot of people that go to games and 90% of them got the tickets comped from their job. They all have one hornets shirt that they bust out solely for this purpose. The rest of the spectators are there to see their actual team. For…

“LeBron Recite NBA Games From Memory For Me, Coward”

I thought Buddy Hield sucked?

possibly unpopular opinion:

The Chosen Yuan

When you put it that way, it’s shocking that Trump hasn’t called Morey a sonofabitch yet because China sounds a lot like his vision of America.

What China is doing is also in flagrant violation of the agreement they have with Great Britain regarding the transfer of Hong Kong to China. The only reason GB isn’t doing anything about it is that they’re too busy shooting themselves in the dick with Brexit.

China’s dealings with Hk are totally gross and uncivil and all that, but what Britain did there is 500 times more fucked up, and bringing up Britain only bolsters the Chinese argument, i think.

Not that this idea is new or anything, but one more time for the people in the back: stating that you are not / don’t want to be political is very much taking a political position.

When a bunch of cyclists get together, the tension reaches Critical Mass.

I mean no offense cause people losing their jobs is always brutal, but for the people reading this, is sports illustrated even on your radar for when you perform your every other minute online content scrub whilst being bored slowly dying on our cubes? Feel like they have devolved into being a glorified MAXIM with…

All you great Deadspin writers team up with these great (and now eminently available) SI writers to form a new sports juggernaut and ditch your lame G/O Media overlords!

Seeing tweet after tweet ending with a request for any sort of work is just depressing.

I, too, have zero tolerance for the obvious, undeniable bullshit pulled by athletes. It’s this grey-area stuff I find myself waffling on. Is it a double standard that this behaviour seems pretty benign in a post-game locker room situation while I’d be absolutely livid if a male coworker poured a drink on me after a…

Her saying she’s OK with it doesn’t mean we can’t criticize the actions of the men doing it. They’re two entirely different things, and neither of them deny her agency.

We can see it as degrading whether or not she’s a good sport about it.

I say this without even an ounce of judgement for Tricia Whitaker, but the reality is that women who want to build a career in sports have to do at least a little bit of ‘cool-girl’ing. I tolerate bullshit in sports environments that I absolutely wouldn’t tolerate anywhere else, and yeah, I often find myself…

I’m not, I said it seems which is my perception of what she said (with her own agency) and how I heard it.  To me it seems forced.  Maybe less Stockholm and more if I do not play nice, I do not get interviews, my career does not advance. At least that is my perception of what she said and how I am interpreting it.

This seems very stockholmy.

As somebody who plays on Philly public courts, my dream is to be destroyed by Joel Embiid at tennis someday.
