I don’t think ESPN is giving him a platform to say racist things for ESPN’s benefit. I think the purpose of this documentary is to be complete from every angle, tell every story, let every remaining voice be heard, in their own voice. I am NOT defending Fuhrman, he is a piece of garbage, but it is important for him to…

“This is what happens when you take away a tool that would have ended this in 10 seconds: Choke hold,”

That some billionaire douche-canoe can use the legal system to stage a shadow war against a media outlet for reporting true things is fucking disgusting. Thomas Jefferson would dick punch Theil into the moon.

No matter what happens I just want to say thank you to all the Deadspin staff. I started reading your articles about 5 years ago. Before that I barely paid attention to sports news, because I thought they were all like ESPN or SI. You guys helped me to develop a greater love for sports by showing them in a more…

Justly or unjustly, there is always some circling the wagons in situations like these from those connected to the party or parties under fire. Not too many people would be willing to say “You know what? They’re right, the people and institutions I’ve loved my whole life are corrupt garbage. I’ve completely wasted so…

Wilbon is just lazy. I’m so much older than Wilbon, but analytics is the Rosetta Stone of sports. I don’t understand every nuance of it, like I don’t understand why this plane I’m flying on is going to get me to Atlanta. To say “Black folk” don’t trust analytics is the worst possible thing when you have brilliant…

Once again Bomani Jones shows why he is my favorite person on ESPN quite possibly in all of sports media.

This idiotic Wilbon article is what I would have expected if Whitlock was running that site. I’m normally a pretty calm person, but I was so irrationally mad about this yesterday that if I saw Wilbon on the street I would have screamed at him. He basically wrote an article that says “black people are very emotional…

I don’t know if the NBA should have a role in reversing the lack of African-Americans in STEM education, but is it okay to mention that Wilbon and SAS probably shouldn’t have a role in perpetuating it? It is really more important to say “white folks are dumb about math, too”?

Just wanted to say this was good. Probably my favorite of yours.

You wanna know how to succeed in life? Quit giving people the satisfaction of your reaction. Treat everyone you meet with kindness no matter how much they’ve wronged you. Be the bigger person. People are going to be assholes and there is not one single solitary thing you can do about it except for controlling yourself…

“Robert E. Lee” came in second.

Cool to see cricket discussed here. I originally from Guyana and my wife is Trinidadian. Oddly enough we tend to root for the U.S. in football (soccer) but its nice to see the T&T team come back into prominence.

As a half-Trini, half-Vincy 1st generation American, I feel you.

I’m so not in your demographic since Colin Croft (look him up) was the head prefect of the high school I attended as a 10-year old in 1970. I dreamed about playing for the West Indies but my family - like many middle class Caribbean families - migrated to the U.S. But I still “bleed Maroon” and follow the West Indies…

Translation: It was the cops that clearly started it.

You want to get rid of Castro? I do. And opening up Cuba is the way to do it. Look at every other communist country that’s engaged with the West. They’re all capitalists. All the embargo did was make life miserable for ordinary people who never oppressed anyone. Fidel and Raul never missed any meals.

You know, like the freedom of the mob to control a military dictatorship. Or are you one of those anti-mob bigots?

Lebatard wrote a pretty decent article on how to view the game in Cuba, but a glaring problem was his lamenting the “loss” of freedoms in Cuba after the revolution.

Lord...
