Should he really be sorry for anything else? The guy got a handjob- does he owe everyone in America a personal apology for it?

Some of the things on that list are also pretty minor to then have the label “rape and child molestation enabler” thrown about. Someone pointing out that they wanted to see more evidence against Fairfax before making up their mind because of the fact that black men have been falsely accused of rape for centuries is…

That’s the joke. People who are married don’t have sex. It was a hilarious joke during the Roman Empire.

“I watched a video where a man pushed his wife to the ground to end a 25 minute public argument. How common is this where you live?” 

You started off by saying “rich people” avoid consequences, but now you’re just limiting it to certain rich people (MLB players are pretty well off, in case you hadn’t heard about any contracts signed since the 1950s)? And the consequences you’re talking about are stupid and infantile, and would only happen to the…

Did you watch the video, or are you just going off the descriptions you’ve read from people engaging in performative outrage?

Regarding #2- agreed, but I’m so friggin’ sick of Deadspin spending so much time just attacking other websites. This site is full of hack writers putting out shitty takes, sometimes in entertaining ways and sometimes in just plain stupid ways. The fact that they spend so much time scouring the internet for articles on…

Agreed. That video shows him grabbing for his own phone, and then the chair slowly topples over and she harmlessly falls off of it as she maneuvers to prevent him from getting his property back. It’s not a pretty image, and I don’t think either of the people involved are acting like adults, but he should be arrested…

I gave up halfway through. There didn’t seem to be any point whatsoever to what I was reading. Kudos to you for sticking it out 2x.

Sure. A dramatically less important part of the game, but not completely irrelevant to the consideration. Bonds did win a whole bunch of gold gloves, and I wouldn’t say his defensive abilities do much to undercut just how incredibly/obscenely/historically terrifying he was as an offensive juggernaut. Every advanced…

Precisely. Bonds was great early on without being “all-time great”, but I don’t see there being any chance that Trout becomes the absolutely unstoppable force that Bonds became after he started shoveling two tons of PEDs into his system every day. I just pulled up some of his numbers from the late-90s forwards, and…

Will they be wrong? I mean, Bonds was clearly cheating and whatever, but wasn’t he the best player ever if you ignore that and just base it on his actual metrics? I’m not a huge baseball fan, so I could very well be wrong, but I thought that Bonds isn’t considered arguably the best player of all time pretty much…

Lebron wasn’t going to play in the east or beat the Raptors if the Lakers made the playoffs though...

And of course, no matter how many likes my comments get (either on this article or the actual Ronaldo article), Deadspin is going to keep me in the greys so that they can avoid having more people realize just how absurd the site can be on some of the issues that it most aggressively attacks others on.

Hahahaha, I literally inserted and then deleted quotations around writers when I wrote my comment :)

Jesus dude, do you honestly not know what the words “criteria” or “metrics” mean? No wonder you think Kobe is the 3rd best player of all time.

Still. I mean, what’s the actual criteria? 

For sure. Does any other website care enough about Deadspin to do the same to the writers on here?

Claiming he’s the third best player ever is absolutely ludicrous. How do you justify that? What metric are you basing it off of?

Not to mention the utter uselessness of public opinion polls, at least in the way Hot Take is using them. Public opinion polls support medicare for all- until you change the wording slightly to highlight how much your taxes will go up. He’s using simplified opinion polls to describe where the majority of Americans are…
