I agree with your first point, but I disagree that little kids don’t appreciate it. I still remember getting Bobby Orr’s autograph at a celeb golf tournament when I was like 10. The card he signed is still on my wall in my old room.

And the difference is that the MMA tournament organizers don’t have rules against such behavior, even if I think it’s completely unsporting.

This is called a code of conduct, and good sportsmanship.

That’s a good question, but I think I answered it already.

Refusal to tolerate bigotry isn’t itself bigotry. That’s one of the phoniest excuses for being a mean person out there. “Let me do and say all these things that marginalise you and erase your existence. And don’t you dare criticise me for it! How dare you be intolerant of my intolerance?!”

I am familiar, yes, sir. I am VERY familiar with the DoD progress on this matter. We’re not DoD. We can use the correct pronouns, and we should, because it’s the respectful thing to do. Golden rule, and even more, the platinum rule.

Yeah, but rooming with Jim Tomsula would be kinda fun.

In other words: The Los Angeles thing turned out precisely how everyone outside the NFL thought it would.

He tried to steal shaving gear. They didn’t press charges, but Belk did want their Razorback.

STL made a terrible/desperate deal to get the Rams here and tried very hard to keep them here. Then Kroenke/Goodell/(Jones) shit all over us. The national media played up the whole ‘Saint Louis-is-a-baseball-town’ thing when attendance dropped. When the Rams put a good product on the field, they were well…

Saint Louisian here...My gut feeling is I don’t think STL is going to give ANYone with NFL ties any money anytime soon.

Let me guess..you’re from Massachusetts.

Thank goodness he's ok - it would have been really ugly if he dyed.
