Right. But this wasn't Whalers-Pens. This was Game 6 of the NBA Finals. Some of the best players of all time. Elimination game. The whole season.

"Amateur."
You "earned" your parent's help? You had the PRIVILEGE of being able to attend college with the HELP of scholarships and parental support. It's not to say you did not work hard; but it is to recognize you did enjoy privileges. Not everyone has the privilege of parental support (in the form of money or even just a…
For what it's worth, the tweet bigotry (both racism and homophobia) seems pretty evenly divided between black players and white ones.
The "if one person thinks it's offensive, then it is" rule is meaningless on its face.
Oh, come on. I am pretty sure the term 'tough tits' comes from a rhyme about a cat. The letter writer shows a huge sense of entitlement. She is just one customer. They should have agreed to disagree, and she could have decided to join the class or not. We can argue all day over whether it is offensive or not. I…
yeah. She was whiny and entitled. They heard her complaint and responded. And she just couldn't stop responding. I think after the first back and forth she could have made the decision to take the class or not regardless of the name. In my opinion, the name might be slightly vulgar on a grade school level, but not…
Yeah, right there with you. A customer who demands a place will change because of her complaint - and ONLY her complaint - is not a customer you want to have.
Her sense of entitlement is astounding.
She sounds incredibly whiny with out a purpose.
100%. Any potential client who leads with "Am I being made to feel crazy?" needs to be gently urged down the road toward... anywhere else.
The real zinger for me was this:
I used to be a fairly average size, on the skinny, athletic, large-chested range. I thought fat people were icky, too. I even went as far as to test myself by dating a fat person to prove to myself that I wasn't that artificial in reality, but ugh... he was fat! It wasn't until I got pregnant that I started dealing…
Sure, there are stores that cater to heavy women. But y'know what? Sometimes I want to wear something from a store in a mall. I want to be able to go into the mall, with my friends, and buy clothes from the stores they shop at. I'm not even that heavy. But I still have to find an XL at most stores.
And do thin people have to Google-trawl for clothes that fit them? No, they can walk into near-about any store in any given retail space in the country and have an endless array of options available to them. The options fat people DO have? Are usually ugly. Thus, requiring the mail-ordering, and even then, you still…
Ohhhhh honey. I don't know what crawled up your ass and died, but I hope you get medical attention for it soon.
Everyone else has addressed this comment with the appropriate scorn, but I'd just add — be aware that your situation may change. A body is always in flux. Someone who is "naturally" thin at age 25 may find themselves at age 35 battling lingering baby pounds and at 45 a stubborn metabolism. Although I was never a…
As if people like you give two shits about fat being bad for folks; talk about one of the most transparent excuses ever. The concern trolling is ridiculous and false as hell. If you'd simply pluck up some nerve and just admit — as a homophobe to a gay man — that you simply find fat people "icky" and believe that's…
"there's not been a single major American outlet reporting it. Why?"
Oh, this canard again.
