Shocking to think Fowler wouldn’t want to be included in a nightly grouptext run by Mike Matheny, a 47-year-old white man, that consists largely of motivational memes. 

Living in Dubai is peak Federer too

Like, was this group outing planned at a Sexual Assaulters Anonymous meeting gone awry? The NFL gets more surreal every week. 

Who’s the better hitter, Tebow or Jordan during his baseball stint? 

“Resisting arrest from someone aiding the police,” is just an incredibly Canadian charge.

Yeah, I’m sure they weren’t super interested in more financial transparency. Maybe something fishy, maybe a privately-held company being cagey about valuation, or maybe it’s just Nardini’s team hyping her individually.

“Barstool has seen meteoric growth since Nardini joined the company. She has achieved over 8 times revenue growth, 700 percent growth in brand advertising and 300 percent growth in commerce. The company also relocated to New York City and Nardini expanded Barstool Sports’ digital footprint through new partnerships…

“awfully nice statue you got made. now pay me my money, Jerry.” -bizarro world roger goodell

Contractually, i.e. provisions in the sale contract to Tepper require Richardson to take care of these liabilities. So if it comes down to it, the league can force the franchise to pay, and then let tepper and richardson fight about which billionaire needs to Venmo his spare change to the other.

(Bangs head on desk repeatedly)

This is painfully dumb. let’s try again. I agree, serena appears to have been tested at a normal rate for a player of her caliber. those datasets and analyses were informative! race was likely not the factor driving her testing schedule, in or out of competition. Serena is also apparently pissed at USADA for how they…

Oh i have no idea about that official specifically, i was trying to make the point to the other commenter that even had an abhorrently racist hypothetical official been involved, they would not single-handedly be just deciding to test players on their own. I do, though, certainly think tennis culture in general has…

Or perhaps, she thinks the testing schedule is bullshit and wants to make a public issue of the process involved, and this is the minor issue she has chosen to make her point. These are both viable options, even if you think one is more likely. Serena’s willingness to defend herself publicly and vehemently against the…

Yeah, the response to Laura’s email was what I meant, specifically the “invasive and targeted” part. Serena’s team could just have said it was a minor point of contention between her and USADA, it had been handled internally, it was a routine miscommunication, staffer error, basically anything they wanted. Her actual s…

more of a foghorn, and just bizarrely out of nowhere

That’s why they pay inspectors the big bucks i guess. I don’t really blame anyone here — the testers have to do their jobs, the players (using PEDs or not) don’t enjoy being tested, Serena has earned the right to say what she wants about the game, etc. 

being from kentucky and drinking alot of bourbon isn’t so much a decision as a lifestyle

“thick stomach indicative of substance abuse”

Yeah, but like, some racist official doesn’t just get to show up at players’ houses whenever he feels like to spring tests on them. the regulatory agencies have a protocol that triggers those tests. In 2018, it seems unlikely that USADA’s includes “if Player is a person of color, test. If not, don’t test.” So the real…
