I cannot for the life of me understand why people run to the flag code when it suits their purposes. Literally nobody gives a shit about it in the general population. Pretending like it is the be all and end all on this subject is just stupid. The people who are pissed with Nike about this never once claimed that they…

Are the people who are upset with Nike claiming that Kaep’s argument violates the flag code? Because otherwise it seems like nobody really gives a shit about the flag code except for the one’s trying to force a hypocrisy argument into the discussion. The people who are upset tend to be the ones wearing american flag…

What is this website’s fascination with Kyrgios? Article after article about a guy that seems entirely uninteresting outside of some childish behavior from time to time. I’d be happier with zero tennis coverage than I am with seeing his name pop up so frequently on here for doing anything other than actually winning…

Precisely. And Zagline keeps pointing out his Canadian friend is black, as if the mere fact that he’s black indicates he understands the experience of A) a black person in America, and B) the experience of ALL black people in America. The guy can be black and still not understand that experience, just like he can be…

You keep saying this. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I also liked the claim that this was one of the most talked about movie moments of the year. I remember it from the trailer. I don’t remember it ever being discussed by anyone ever. I’m sure someone somewhere said something about it, but by that logic my Aunt’s apple pie recipe was also one of the most talked about…

Three separate replies to the same comment spaced out over more than 4 hours? Yeesh...

You’re disappointed that a brand’s slogan isn’t fully accurate to the reality that we live in? What’s next? You gonna call out Meow Mix because cat’s don’t REALLY ask for it by name? Or do you want sports announcers during Falcons games next year to point out that some of BMW’s offerings are superior to Mercedes, so…

You must be new here. Deadspin isn’t the place to fairly interpret and listen to what people ACTUALLY say. It’s the place to wild misrepresent people’s quotes in order to attack them for being monsters while making snarky and pithy jokes in the comments sections. Your accurate reading of what’s going on here is…

It was like 3 sentences about Zion’s particular and singular experience during a discussion that had nothing to do with single parent households, growing up poor in america, etc. You don’t actually think he’s even talking about the family dynamics of millions of other households that happen to not include the #1 draft…

This article is a great example of how this site will take someone’s quote and apply the absolute worst possible interpretation of it to the speaker, expand the intent of the comment out to it’s broadest possible implications, and then use that massively unfair interpretation to attack the speaker. Billups didn’t say…

Yup. The Russos were asked about it and answered. It’s not like the advertising for the movie had the character’s face on it, or as if the tagline was “Endgame for Humanity- First Date for Gay Man: April 26, 2019". They answered questions posed to them. It reminds me of when Matt Damon did an interview where the…

And not even that. If it was Galactus io9 would write think piece after think piece arguing that it was homophobic for the gay character to really be the villain. I can only the imagine the connections Charles would make between Galactus’s desire to devour worlds and some random gay stereotypes that he would argue…

The budgets and box office argument is especially poor because it shows that people love these movies for the ACTION, not for the love interests. Nobody was complaining when Thor Ragnarok didn’t even have a love interest; nobody complained that Pepper and Tony didn’t have tons of romantic scenes; nobody was…

“No. It would be a big deal if his race didn’t matter.” 

I also didn’t understand that framing. “The Wizards did something weird-the took a guy who was expected to go no higher than 5th and no lower than 14th with their pick at #9. CRAZY WIZARDS!”

“You know what’s going to make viewers at home more irate than watching shitty calls in slow-mo? Watching shitty calls in slow-mo while the refs have no recourse to do anything about it.”

I absolutely do not get the mindset that people have that other people who do things they wouldn’t do are somehow making terrible decisions for themselves. I eat pretty healthy, don’t drink or smoke, don’t do drugs, etc. People roll their eyes at me and tell me how absurd it is for me to be “missing out” on all the…

It constantly amazes me how many knots people will twist themselves into in order to try to pretend like the reason they can’t lose weight isn’t because they’re eating too much. It’s really hard to lose weight! I’m not saying it’s easy! But it is 100% related to the number of calories you’re consuming in a day. People…

Those are three terrible sources for that assertion. Countless of studies over decades have been conducted that demonstrate that basic laws of thermodynamics apply just as much as to human beings as they do to everything else in the universe. Yes, eating whole foods is better than shoveling sugary snacks into your…
