It takes a hell of a lot of cognitive dissonance to claim that “no one should have to choose.. between properly speaking out and personal success” while trying to blackball Nike into dropping Colin Kaepernick. 

Maybe next they’ll just let the fans at home vote. “Text YES to 1-888-CONCUSS for Targeting. Text NO to Let The Boys Play. And remember, as a PAC-12 fan, your vote counts!”

$15k : Brown’s salary = $100 : $100k salary. I have no idea how much Brown makes but that’s how I read it anyway. 

Tomorrow’s headline: GOP selects Diamonds From Sierra Leone as the official import/export policy of the Office of the US Trade Representative.

“Hey Coach, guess I keep missing you, it’s Brett again. Just reminding you that I just spent the value of a decent late-model used car supporting your program and I expect to see some results.

Imagine paying a college football program for the privilege of being an asshole. College boosters are not mentally healthy individuals.

Staff writing for The Atlantic is more opinion/commentary than journalism, no?

“All of these nerd cops from MIT or Stanford or wherever talking about ShotStopper and CompStat. Might as well just put laptops in the patrol cars.” - Jayson Werth, criminal mastermind

“Turkey on white bread. No cheese, extra mayo.” - - Brett Kavanaugh at the deli counter

Kavanaugh’s in debt up to his eyeballs for ‘baseball tickets’ and no one blinked, yet somehow it’s unimaginable that a woman hired lawyers without asking the senate for permission first. What a farce.

Of all the federalist society dweebs on the bench to pick from, imagine the GOP picking Brett Fuckin’ Kavanaugh as the hill they want to die on! 

“Yeah but what about ur legal fees!?!!”
