Unfortunately, it not only has to fly, it has to maintain a veto-override capability.

Only a Republican could cry oppression to the “first but co-equal” nature of their own importance.

You had me expecting that to end with an Andrew Benintendi reference!

Whether it’s fair to players is not the issue. The system right now is still what it is.

So it’s March and the Whalers are only a game under .500 this season.  I’ll settle for that.

We have plenty of evidence that groups of people aren’t starting at the same point. Making it a case because of history opens up the far-right changing the narrative to try to argue stuff like this, and we don’t get to discuss the…

there’s a world of difference between fighting for civil rights, and being held to a different standard of any advocacy because of ethnicity.
