In seriousness, the thought of a guy with this must skill and passion for math, and the chops to teach it to kids, bashing his brain into oblivion in the NFL... that shit is fuckin' sad.

Most highlight truthers are at least plausible in their truth. Dunno what Burke thought he saw.

Hey, if you were bent over at Penn state you'd be crying too.

He wasn't consoling him. Newbill was just showing him the proper body position for burying your head in the sand at Happy Valley.

Why all this Jennifer Lawrence love. She seems nice and all, but eventually she will say something disapproved of by the Intersectional Brigade and everyone here will go snark-hunting.

I don't want your cookies. I don't want my ass to be kissed. I don't even want to be your "ally."

Jennifer Lawrence is annoying and crass. In Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle.

The only people who think that feminists are "crazy" and "unreasonable" are assholes who don't genuinely believe in the cause in the first place.

I'm still not sure why you're trying to find negativity in this. So the guy has admitted he's learned something and is continuing to learn, and there's a problem?

He's not asking for a cookie, he's noting that it's ridiculous how allies are attacked for not maintaining some completely fictional and unobtainable ideal of the "perfect ally"

What is this "free pass" bullshit? Free pass from what? And nobody's saying that Aziz Ansari has magically cured gender issues. He's just making an effort that could have a positive impact, and only an idiot would act like that's a bad thing. You're just arguing for argument's sake against someone who's trying to help.

Yeah, sure. Aziz Ansari is in the PRIVILEGED GROUP! Growing up a skinny little Indian kid in South Carolina must have been a breeze. I'm sure he coasted along on nothing but privilege as the white male patriarchy embraced him. Yes, I'm being sarcastic. You are the problem.

That is not a nuanced or insightful reading of my comment or of Aziz's recent material.

Gawd, I knew I would find this in the comments. The fact that it's feminists who are criticizing him the most proves that, once again, feminists are feminism's worst enemies. We say we want allies but I guess by "allies", we mean "silent masochistic punching bags". It's kinda sad when you're just as disgusted by the…
