So there’s a huge skill gap between most men’s and women’s sports. Regardless of how much deadspin tries to make you believe the women’s World Cup team would beat the men’s, it’s actually quite ridiculous. However, in no other sport is the skill, size, and speed gap between the sexes so apparent as in basketball.…

The problem is less that your opinion is bad and more that you felt the need to share it.

Once my legs swung past the rim and fell on my wrist, severely spraining it.

And she grew up to be... Hope Solo. And now you know the rest of the story.

Should have practiced the perfect chest pass and showed off those fundamentals.

My favorite was when i would miss the dunk then hang on the rim too long and land on my face.

Please don’t.

How can you be socially liberal and against unions ? Any time and place there are unions, wages and living standards go Up. Remove a union and they go down. One would think a social liberal would be all for people making a decent living. And unions enforce equality for women and non-straight people. Of course union…

Am I completely off-base for thinking this is fine? I mean, it’s during the course of play, so your goal is to get a player down or disrupt the player. I mean, it’s kind of a dick move, but why wouldn’t it be legal?Heck, it’s legal to pull a playing down by their hair!

Just want to say thanks for starting this discussion. I’m pretty much in the same boat as you - it really sucks to be a Republican these days. The party has gone off the rails. I was really hoping Katich would get the nomination - I’m writing him in because I just can’t vote for either candidate. What this country…

In fairness, wouldn’t religious Latinos (2) who are almost certainly Catholic (which is like, second only to Evangelicals in crazy), want you to overturn Roe v Wade (1)?

You do have a lot of good thoughts, and someone else in this thread made the kind of catchall response about “Just when I thought all Republicans were narrow-minded” (paraphrasing), which I absolutely do not agree with at all. (It’s that kind of divisiveness that has led to such a polarizing state of politics at…

I like your thinking, but I just want to examine what you mean when you say “social liberal and fiscal conservative.” To me, it’s a contradiction of terms, or at least an empty kind of statement. To the latter point, it generally means “I don’t hate gay people, women, minorities, and I think people should be free to…

Thank you! And in spite of all of this, people are still dying to vote against Hillary. DYING. I’m liberal and even I don’t like her and may have been swayed to vote 3rd party or even for a qualified Republican if you’d actually elected one in just about any other election. If you had put someone even remotely…

This always gets me. I’m always so close to considering voting Republican and then they start thumping their Bibles and I get all turned off. As soon as Ted Cruz made mention of getting back to our country’s “Judeo-Christian roots”, I knew it was going to be either Bernie or Hillary for me.

Follow your dream, of course. But what you’re describing sounds like the Republican party my beloved gran was a lifelong very involved member of, not what I currently see, especially (oddly) fiscally. However, I wish you the best of luck saving this monster, it will be a great benefit to all of us if committed…

I am in no way a conservative politically, but I am totally on board with you and genuinely believe that if conservatives managed to cobble together a party (or reform the Republican Party) to something more like the Canadian Conservative Party model - where social conservatism is largely off the table, then not only…

Good point. You can’t govern in the 21st century when your first thought has to be how will the people react who hold a thousands of years old nomadic tribe’s settlement story as the TRUTH.

I would vote Republican if not for the religous right. I like my money.

The time for the GOP to do the things you and Tacos outline was past over a decade ago. There is no chance they are going to do an about-face now. When they had the opportunities to change, they doubled down on failing strategies, and now they can only implode, while everyone with a tiny shred of sense and human…
