Can you let me know when you will be returning to sports coverage so I can go back to checking in once or twice per day? I have a lot to do today at work and all of these posts about non-sports topics are distracting because I Must Read Every Single One of Them. Whereas with the sports stuff I really only care if its…

I think this defense is broadly right—but it still amounts to LeBron saying that the sensitivities of one of the world’s most brutal and repressive regimes should set boundaries on what people in the NBA say in public. Which is fuckin’ gross!

I do kind of empathize with Jamil here. Like her I’m working my way backwards through history and my “Willy Brandt’s handling of the Guillame scandal cemented his place as Germany’s worst ever Chancellor” tweet isn’t holding up as well as I’d hoped. 

You can’t actually see the hand shake. And Mayfield does seem to wiggle his hands a bit at the end. It could easily be a hand slap rather than an actual shake.

Completely apart from the moral principles of the situation, I really think Silver needs to double down and tell the Chinese to go fuck themselves.

Maybe he should have disguised it as a United States Treasury bond.

China, stick to sports.
