Man this article and many of these comments are filled with shitty, cynical takes, even for Deadspin.

And it would have gone “bye bye” if he took the raise too and didn’t invest half a million back into his players and former players’ future. Framing it as you did, against the backdrop of a question about whether he got it lowered in lieu of the raise and by characterizing his actions as “playing the game”, is…

Tell me more about baseball, guy who doesn’t watch baseball.

Didn’t say anything about them. Only support the message (antifascism), not always the messengers, per se. There are groups that fall under the guideline of doing too much, especially the cosplaying-paramilitary chuds spouting bigotry, misogyny and hate.

Sweetie, you’re not your grandfather. You're not fighting Nazis. This is not running warfare in the streets. You are a clown. Meanwhile, adults realize it’s dumb to alienate people while cosplaying.

If there were Nazis inside the art gallery I manage, I’d say go ahead and bust in the window and have at them. But, alas, no Nazis. So yes, in this case, it was quite inconvenient.

Despite the writer becoming sensitive to criticism of this piece that piles it on…

Disingenous, my ass.   If we give you your “good feminist” points today, will you admit you’re full of shit?  Please note the other responses as to why.

For the life of me, I have no clue why people are selectively omitting the part where Williams has a history of outbursts like these when a match isn’t going her way. Based on a pattern of previous behavior, it seems she was throwing a tantrum like a bad loser -which is common for people that are always accustomed to n…

“Wherever you happen to fall on Serena’s behavior Saturday night, I’m sure you agree with me that this is the umpire’s fault.”

“Hey, what I can we do to deflect the true story. I get it... let’s call someone a Nazi!”

It’s not that far off as long as that word is literally the only thing you know about Nazis.

Awesome logic. ISIS destroyed a bunch of historical statues therefore the left = ISIS.
