David Simon, the creator of The Wire, often talks about how there are really two Americas—one economically viable and mostly white, the other economically hopeless and mostly black. In my experience, no place embodies this division more than St. Louis, where I've lived the past few years. You can drive north from a…

Yeah, look at all the leftist ideas espoused at Deadspin! Like paying people the market value for the services they perform, and recognizing that those who contribute more value deserve higher pay instead of pretending that everyone should be compensated in the same way! Or demanding that criminals like Ray Rice be…

The NL's insistence on playing games in three hours or less is why it's the best brand of baseball.

are you serious watch the video and listen to stewart accelerate as ward is getting sucked under his back tire

Just a good ole boy, never meaning no harm

...and tony stewart just murdered someone... would you call him a thug for that or do you believe mayweather is a bigger thug? i think you've missed the point of the original post....?

hate to play the race card but stewart has always been a dick and has always caused wrecks but yet no one says anything he killed a 20yr old kid last night and yet ESPN and nascar analyst are down playing this like it was a accident and that stewart didnt mean yet stewart struck that kid with bad intentions

Ray rice is viewed as a typical violent black man by the media, while Stewart will be portrayed as a passionate driver who's anger issues unfortunately got the best of him for a brief second with tragic results.

Say what you will about what happened last night, but what's more important is that Tony Stewart has never worn bling, gotten a sleeve tattoo, or participated in a choreographed pregame group handshake.

You compleltely missed his point: he's asking why a mainly white sport like NASCAR always gets a free pass while the NFL and NBA (particularly the NBA since they don't have the same problems off the field of play as the NFL but I guess to Joe White Guy Sports Fan, just being black means they're thugs) are vilified.

http://www.sbnation.com/nascar/2013/3/…, tony Stewart is honestly just a real asshole, glad you figured out what I was trying to say, sorry if overly hostile. But overall the point I'm really trying to make is that nascar racers are just as violent/ big of asshole as NBA NFL players but we give them a pass bc it…

How come racists always ignore Nascar when talking about out of control violent athletes and thug culture. Seriously not trying to be typical uppity white commenter that feels the need to defend every minority group, but do you really think the nfl or NBA would put up w players constantly fighting after games any time…

Lubricate your joints.

You must mean Jerry Reese, the GM who has won two superbowls and found players such as Victor Cruz, Mario Manningham, Hakeem Nicks, Andre Brown, Kevin Boss, etc.

it would be a premature and unsatisfying ending

The number one reason why people should shut the hell up when they complain that NFL players make way too much money.

The one silver lining is that Wilson needn't look any further than the league commissioner to see what can be accomplished without a functional spine.

The diamondbacks GM and managers are the biggest losers in MLB. They are concerned with "grit" and "toughness" more than success. Idiots

Is anyone surprised by this kind of behavior from Kirk Gibson? Because you shouldn't be.
