Ohh I get it!! Everyone has to agree w you or they work in a fast food restaurant!!

There was no way she wasn’t going to be offered a contract at that time just because she was pregnant. It was the WNBA’s inaugural season and she was the biggest star. Nike would’ve locked her down anyway - they just wouldn’t have wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars in production on someone they couldn’t use.

Two main reasons that are pure speculation but seem fairly likely: 1. The geo-political landscape of the past hundred years has placed the USA as allies of France, the U.K. and Belgium, so acts of war (or similar) from a common enemy (ISIS/Al Quaeda now) on one incite fear/empathy/protectivism more strongly than in…

You realize that Beirut is predominantly white, right?

And the attacks in Turkey got more attention than ones in Yemen. It boils down to where people expect attacks and how likely people in the U.S. are to have travelled to or know people from those areas.

People care more about things that a) affect them and b) remind them of themselves. This isn’t shocking. America is a country that is also the size of a continent: someone in Maine being informed about what is going on in Nevada, someone in Alaska reading up on Hawaii, is geographically far more diverse than someone…

Huh...Sees an object flying through the sky that he couldn’t make out at first glance? Bet he wishes he could....

A large orange, left-to-right-moving object?

Michigan won a lot of games during the Teddy Roosevelt administration, yes.

Interesting how Deadspin becomes very pro- or anti- people. Michigan hasn’t won a conference championship since 2004 and hasn’t beaten a top 10 team since 2006. Are they somehow not trying to jumpstart their program because they had one decent year in which they lost to the only good teams they played?

Ohio State has beaten Michigan 11 of the past 12 times they’ve played.

ESPN is, by televising a baseball game from Cuba, condoning that country’s communist government and its horrific human rights violations, same as Obama is doing by going there and sharing a stage, and baseball seats, with the murderous/genocidal agent Raul Castro. Shame. Utter pathetic shame on the worst President in…

Pin this on the Republicans all you want, Dems played on this fear of black criminality as well. Private prisons skyrocketed beginning in Clinton’s era. Federal sentencing got tougher and continued to be discriminatory as well.

I think the lawyer means that he was never legally accused of rape and the was never accused publicly by the woman.

So unjust enrichment is ok, as long as it’s a mega corporation that loses the money? You’re an idiot

Albert, what is the minimum dollar amount for which a corporation should be allowed to sue? Is it a hard figure, or is it dependent on the wealth of the defendant? Oh wait, you have no idea, and you are making less sense than Brian McCann discussing unwritten rules.

Screw Dan Snyder and all that, but if someone could explain to me why they’re in the wrong here I’d appreciate it. The player was paid money he wasn’t owed, the team agreed he only had to pay half of it back, and then he didn’t.
