Also donating $100,000 was Peter Thiel, the man who sued our previous owner Gawker Media out of existence.

Pretty sure it was his WAR that landed Thames in Korea too.

So.. the player definitely looks white. I would not have known he had African ancestry until I read it in this article. This is an interesting test case for so-called hate speech laws. A few questions:

And people laughed at me for not dropping him from my fantasy team.

The expected reaction in the grays: “WAAH WAAH FREEDOM OF SPEECH!! MOMMY AND DADDY SAID I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT!!!”

“Revenue is revenue” is a completely empty platitude. It might apply if you were talking about revenue from streaming contracts vs. concessions vs. ticket sales vs. TV rights, but this is a transfer from one owner to others, thus a net inflow to the league of $0. It is very reasonable to treat it differently IMO.

I wouldn’t call changing a few quiz questions that exists purely to raise stats as “overly Americanizing.”

It isn’t a net gain for the league though. It is money from one owner to many. If one guys has to pay $31 and everyone else gets $1, the total revenue increase is zero.

Yeah, I’m not sympathetic to ownership, but this transaction is about distributing the owners’ share of the income: Only one owner can move into the new territory and benefit from it, so he breaks off a piece of his new income for the other owners. The players get their cut (or not) regardless of which owner moves to…

And that’s why they get the negotiated split of the vast majority of other revenue streams.

I’m not entirely sure why relocation fees should be included in the split to be shared with players. Is there something I’m missing? It’s a transfer from one owner/ownership group to the other owners for the right to move territories.

Persona 5. Never played the previous entries but omg I think I’m a fan now.

Turnabout is fair play in my opinion. Expecting someone not to have a human reaction to situations like this is just not realistic. We’ve got to allow ourselves and each other some humanity every once in a while. It’s pretty clear to me that this dude isn’t full of hate and spite, but someone overwhelmed by the…

are just going to ignore all the “stupid Bronx uptown thot bitch” remarks?

seems like the weirdest and most myopic aspect of the video to focus on.

You watched the video and you’re going to defend her?

Yes, we will ignore it. She threatened to destroy his life, drag his reputation through the mud, drop a cloud of suspicion over him that would follow him forever. She wants to cost him time, money, opportunity, friends, family, and a future.

And he used some bad words. His cool slipped and out pops some naughty…

Yes. He was justifiably mad and she was precisely what he said.

Ignore?! What would you insinuate she was then?

Someone cross-post this to Jezebel where they seem to believe that women never, ever, ever do this.
