The laws of the game require grass or turf. Safety is probably one reason but the pitch isn’t supposed to affect the game like it would if part of it were dirt. The ball’s supposed to be affected uniformly by the length of the grass, etc.

Agreed. He’s not saying Pokemon Go is bad or wrong, he’s just pointing out that loitering and wandering around with your phone like a creeper is more dangerous for a black person than a white person.

I was gonna write “inb4 all the ignorant and racist bullshit” but there’s already a “fuck off” comment, so I guess I’m too late.

“Hortelano’s name shouldn’t be too unfamiliar to U.S. audiences; he competed at Cornell.”

So familiar with this guy from my days scouting all-ivy academic sprinters

This year, I had five football players ask me to adjust their grades after the semester or to let them to extra/makeup work after the semester had ended so that they could bump a D to a C, or an F to a D. I said no to all five, and a few expressed astonishment. Clearly, they’re getting special treatment from some…

You are still tanking but now you are tanking with a hometown star to keep season tickets sales up while also spending the escalating salary cap floor money. #Kobetanking

While I agree that “bitch” behavior and “asshole” behavior are different enough to (perhaps) warrant different words, you can’t honestly think that calling someone a bitch has nothing whatsoever to do with women generally. Think about the ways “bitch” is used to insult someone: either a man acting “unmanly” (stop…

bruh i agree with you for the most part about the covers, but please that last paragraph doesn’t just hurt the brain it sends us back to the dark ages of grammar

Ronaldo isn’t evil, but he’s an asshole, especially as a teammate. This non-tattoo having diva actually throws hissy fits when his teammates score, denying him the goals. In a TEAM sport, he cares only about his own accomplishments on the pitch. Ronaldo would rather lose and score 3 goals than win and see a teammate…

What in the fuck does having or not having a tattoo have to do with being evil or an asshole? Please explain?

And many Mets fans made him feel at home.

Except that Overwatch lootboxes aren’t .00001% drops that are then tradeable to anyone for play money that can then get turned into real money.

Unless you can turn around and sell your in-game rewards for a real world monetary value, other games are not doing the same. With Overwatch winning a skin is only worth-while to use in-game. With CS GO, many people betting don’t have any intention of using the skins they buy, they just want to gamble in hopes of…

Best possible scenario, at this point, is for the Brazilian military to take over all security services for the Olympics before a major terrorist attack happens. They are almost certainly going to stage a coup after the games, with security as a pretext, so why not prevent a calamity if possible?

That is not at all what he meant.

I was in the San Jose airport 3 days after game 7. A guy walked into the restaurant I was eating breakfast in and, clueless as hell, asked if they could change the channel to the Cavs championship parade. The entire place’s soul died on the spot.

You aren’t good at reading, are you?

I find your last sentence ironic. In trying to address vulgar and offensive language that presumes about others, you’ve addressed “BOYS” as the culprits. I see plenty of females on Kinja, other social media, and IRL using all of these phrases.

If only they were located somewhere more interesting...like Seattle
