A more plausible explanation is that she’s the sort of asshole writer that gets involved with people who she thinks would make a good story she can sell.

Here was a particularly phony and dishonest line of argument, which went basically unchallenged by The Ringer’s reporter (emphasis mine):

Someone: “You should spend more money so your product is better.”

Theory aside, the resolution to the matter at hand is to call it “B-dubs,” as everyone in my area does. Definitely saves syllables.

Has anyone questioned Hillary yet?

I mean, we can wait a few months until the emails leak, but I feel we should probably find out more ASAP.

This is honestly such garbage. Some fans don’t like cocky ass holes. The default hot take is because they are black. It’s just nonsense. I can’t stand Cam because he is a front running ass hole, who will rub it in your face every time they are winning, but turns into a whining petulant child when they are losing. It…

-Another veteran

I’m a veteran also. A lily-white veteran from the deep South. I actually think this is the ultimate sign of respect for our country & I respect the shit out of it. He wants the country to be better, to live up to the ideals that we were always told this country was about. To treat ALL citizens equally. These idiots…

There was a time when I enjoyed your posts. That time has ended. I will, however remember your musings fondly though, but alas, you are dead to me, and my heart is deeply broken.

Fucking sandwich truthers!

Damn, what a bleak picture he paints of a dominant culture using their advanced taco technology to take over the country. We didn’t spill blood fighting the English, Indians, French, Mexicans, Spanish, Pilipinos, Germans, Japanese, Italians, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Arabs, Iranians, Somalians, for tacos to become the…

Someone’s going to die.... Whoa.. That’s high... That’s really high... Holy shit... Someone’s going to die... Oh, parachute.
