Yup. We’ve now gotten to the stage where a white guy pointing out that “hey, we have done nowhere near enough to promote and provide opportunities to women and POCs, and I need to do a better job about that” is actually evidence of sexism and racism that requires that person to lose their job. It reminds me of when…

This reminds me of the book The Millionaire Next Door. People make decisions about large swaths of individuals based on the loudest and most obnoxious of them, and they don’t realize that a lot of the people they really like and/or respect fall into that same category. “Rich people are assholes!” is easy to say if you…

Not to mention carrying. I thought the rule had pretty much been relegated to “only the most absurdly egregious violations are ever going to be called from here on out”, but after Curry’s carry wasn’t called last night I figure it’s time to just delete that portion of the rulebook entirely. 

Yeah, I wasn’t sure how a game without Klay and other solid contributors is evidence of that claim. The fact they had won 5 straight games coming into the finals without Durant would seem to be much better evidence in that debate. Curry needs Thompson’s shooting to help break down the defenses for the rest of the…

Naw, I don’t think that’s how it would play out. The reason the 3-1 thing was so cathartic was because the Warriors SHOULD have won at least one of those games (I’m giving the benefit of the doubt to the folks who say losing Draymond for one game was devastating). They were at full strength for 2 of the last 3, and…

This is the correct take. Van Gundy is occasionally actually funny, and his insights into the game are solid. Jackson just spouts platitudes and idiocy and never says anything remotely entertaining. 

If Deadspin is now planning on writing “reporter asks stupid question” blog posts then y’all are gonna need to hire more staff. I have no idea why this article exists or why I bothered to read it, let alone why I bothered to comment. What are any of us doing? This is insanity!

“Yes, and as we all know, the goal of sport is to root out anyone who has a biological advantage. We wouldn’t want people who are biologically anomalous “ruining” our sports, would we? Only the most average athletes, that’s what I want to see, thanks!”

You’ve posted this “it’s the rules, and therefore everyone should shut up” argument multiple times on this article. It’s just a flat out silly stance to take. There are a tremendous number of things in this world that are perfectly acceptable under the rules but are still morally/ethically wrong and worthy of…

Yup. I actually wish it would happen more often (so long as Klay isn’t seriously hurt that is) so that it would discourage guys from trying that nonsense. 

I applaud your naivety for thinking that the Deadspin comments section has any time for people pointing out such quaint notions as “due process” or “patience”. This article pretty much just says “a police report has been filed”- nothing more. That’s all the folks here need to assume that Neymar is guilty as hell and…

I don’t come to Deadspin for balanced, fair, rational reporting, but the articles on this subject have been atrocious even by Deadspin standards. 

If you’re lucky, when you call 311 the American rock band will come from Omaha, Nebraska to try and eradicate your rat problem. 

This is an oddly judgmental piece. You “lost [your] mind” each time you read an article about someone making the exact same mistake that you made when you were tasked with writing an identical article? I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone admit to being exasperated at how someone else’s analytical skills are just as…

Managers arguing with umpires is just about the dumbest thing imaginable. It slows down the game, makes the manager look like a toddler, looks entirely performative, and accomplishes precisely squat. If you want to argue about something then do it like every other sport- come out and talk with the ref during a…

Agreed. Some of these stories KIND OF make sense- I think the technology has advanced far enough that a Lion King remakes actually could be pretty interesting. Mulan is one that doesn’t need to be animated- a better story with real life actors could be fantastic. But so much of what made Aladdin and Beauty and the…

Huh? 15 x 94 million is $1.41 billion...

Wow. We have gotten to the point where even SOAP is too dirty for the paranoid germaphobe. Amazing.

I mean, they rereleased the Lion King in 3-D in 2011 and it made $94 million. That’s a very nice profit, but the live action remake is going to make 15x that. They also rereleased the original in theaters a year or two ago. I remember going to see it and I was one of maybe 10-20 people in the theater. The amount of…

Quick question- I’ve never understood why Aladdin wasn’t a prince after wishing to be made into one. I mean, the rules were that he can’t make people fall in love or bring people back from the dead. Becoming a prince isn’t either of those things. So the whole “she can’t marry you because you’re not a real prince”…
