You should not get prison time for words texted to your boyfriend

You were being manipulate and held hostage by someone trying to hold you accountable for their own emotional state. This case is an extreme example but sets a horrible precedent for allowing said manipulation to occur wholesale.

Well the adult human agent who made the decision to kill himself was the boyfriend, not her. It sets a bad precedent that different people should be held criminally accountable for the actions of others—actions that they have no agency over—based on words exchanged over text.

You talk about training and regimens and academy systems and all that, but something more fundamental is afoot w/r/t the quality of athlete involved.

In order for him to have even been called out, there had to be intent, that Marisnick would have to have “intentionally initiated an avoidable collision”

*OK, where are catchers supposed to be?*

Well he didn’t try to crush him to break up a tag.

Lucroy did not have the ball though

How exactly are you supposed to initiate a slide that ends up at home plate when the catcher is three or four feet into the basepath in front of home plate, baseball not-in-hand?

I am generally pretty skeptical of the idea that anyone—especially those in working in an entertainment function—“deserve” any specific quantity of pay over and above what the market is willing to pay, what ticket buyers and advertisers are willing to spend dollars on.

Actually that paragraph does not establish a requirement to slide, just an absolute exculpation if he does

This is a ridiculous stance by Barry and MLB, and it establishes a terrible precedent—one that would let fielders with no ball in hand establish moving picks into runners going down basepaths

Buster Posey was holding the ball and standing on top of the plate, ready to tag the guy.

Champagne is what poor people think rich people drink

The women’s team should absolutely earn more for their world cup than the men did, which I assume was nothing

Learn the difference between profits and revenues, at least before you write about them

Seek help for what? I’m not the one who’s complaining about how laws work

There is a legal procedure for seeking asylum. Going rogue and entering the US without following that procedure is illegal. It would be illegal the other way if an American tried it in Mexico or in any other country in the world.

Dr. Pepper 10 btw tastes great

He was in what everyone calls an internment camp, whose existence was a violation of the constitutional rights of US citizens, but they were not gassed like the Jews, Gypsies, and gays of Europe.
