This is one of the greatest ideas I’ve ever heard. So simple, but so perfect.

The worst part for me is seeing these people come out in real life, meaning people close to me, who I knew had some opinions that I didn’t agree with, but I thought were “good people”. Their racism is getting more and more bold. My MIL and FIL went from saying the occasional racist stereotype that needed (and…

What a stretch. Read between the lines. You can be both a minority and an ordinary American. He’s saying that while the issues of marginalized groups are important, the problems will never be solved if the right people don’t get elected. To get elected you have to find common ground in a base. The Left is so dividing…

My God. Read between the lines for once. You have trouble trusting Bernie Sanders because you have trust issues that cause you to get caught up on semantics. His point was obviously that while we don’t give up the fight against injustices faced by marginalized groups, the focus of the left should be to get behind…

Thanks for the info. Someone else commented that they believe her lawyer helped pay for the procedure. I was just confused by the fact that this wasn’t even touched on in the article, but I haven’t been following this story since the beginning so it was likely covered elsewhere.

Makes sense. Do you happen to know who paid for the procedure? Like if Jane Doe paid for the procedure, I don’t see any issues here. But if the US government paid for this procedure for an undocumented immigrant, that doesn’t compute with me. I’m all for our government footing the bill in cases where medical care is…

A bit of an overreaction there...It’s an understandable question, and could be addressed with a simple answer. Try being kinder to people.

Agreed. I don’t even recognize myself while playing that game. I become a monster.

Why should they sign a QB that went 4-19 over his last 2 seasons (12-27 over his last 3)? In that span, his passer rating was high 70's to low 80's...that’s bad. The guy had 2 good seasons 4 years ago, and those seasons were significantly vaulted from the 9ers having an elite defense. I don’t see any reason why the…

Why does everyone seem to romanticize how good Kaepernick is? He went 4-19 over his last 2 seasons as a starting QB with a rating in the high 70's to low 80's (and went 8-8 the year before that). That’s just flat out bad. I’m all for giving an unproven young player a chance over him every time. Just because he had 2…

ESPN, a struggling SPORTS network, doesn’t want one of their personalities alienating half of their already diminishing base by spouting her own politics, or at the very least, giving the appearance of spouting her own politics, when her job is to talk about sports. Wow. Truly shocking.

Yes, I understand that it was…

Dreadlocks have origins all over the world, including Asia. Get over it.

I read your column primarily because I get a laugh out of how bad your advice is, but I was reading this wedding one and actually nodding my head with you thinking, here’s some solid advi.....: “Also, maybe you married the wrong person? When that happens we often look for signs of trouble anywhere we can find it.…

“When have you ever seen a defensive player penalized for leveling a RB or FB with the crown of his helmet?” On the first play of the link that I shared... Eddie Lacy gets rocked with a helmet to helmet hit, and the defensive player is correctly penalized. It also breaks down what “leading with the crown of the…

You are 100% incorrect: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-videos/0ap2000000247646/NFL-Officiating-Crown-of-the-Helmet-rule

I’m curious, what do you mean by, “now you’re paying the price for your funny little joke”? He’s clearly trolling, and if he loses this, it won’t really affect him, he will have just cost the Bears some of their time and money as a result. If he wins it, he gets the last laugh. Either way, he’s laughing.

Bravo to Jeffrey Mays for getting his shit together and becoming a dad. That’s a good story to read.

While I feel for Antoinette, it seems like CPS and her lawyer did their job properly in this case. While it sucks to have the guilty plea on her record, it sounded deserved. I hope that her and her kids are doing…

This is such an unbelievably bad take. This is the equivalent of you saying, “I liked [insert band name here] before they were cool, but now everyone likes them so they suck”, except this is for a cause that you claim to believe in. You are just looking to find something wrong instead of looking at it like the step…

I’ve also seen this ruled as incomplete. Most notably:

I don’t understand the argument for equal pay in sports, and I realize it will likely get me killed here, but try to help me understand:

For me, it seems simple: those who generate more interest (bring in more viewers, demand higher ticket prices, sell more merchandise) deserve to be paid better. You wouldn’t make…
