The only thing it has done successfully is to piss off white people who think the flag is being disrespected.

Not to re-hash the same points Chris made, because you do a great job demolishing his argument, but I mean, this is such bullshit. The national anthem at NFL games in particular, which we’ve found out is frequently a paid commercial by the U.S. government for its militarism, is inherently political. I doubt he…

If sports is really an escape from politics, then we should probably get rid of the national anthem before the game. No need for the reminder about politics and war before the game starts.

“But in recent years, under Stern and now Adam Silver, the NBA has fully embraced the politics of the left.”

“You’re the first daughter of the United States, and you’re also an assistant to the president,” the moderator, WirtschaftsWoche editor-in-chief Miriam Meckel, said. “The German audience is not that familiar with the concept of a first daughter. I’d like to ask you, what is your role, and who are you…

The Leader of the Free World doesn’t have to dress for other people.

She’s a distinguished alumna of the Putin Institute of Whataboutism

That’s what I’m sure a lot of Republicans are counting on. Let Trump stay until he does something too outrageous to ignore, impeach him or get him to resign and act like they’ve liberated the country from a monster.

Yes he is, he needs something to hold on to - probably because of his age or his giant fat head stuffed with rocks.

I used to volunteer a lot for Planned Parenthood in Los Angeles, and much of that was “community outreach” — going to communities that had a clinic and passing out information about the services it offered. The very first time I did one of those, I had what remains the most rewarding and simultaneously most…

Great, something else Republicans can blame on Obama.

The only thing that could possibly make this more entertaining is if Venus and Serena stepped onto the court for their match wearing throwback macrame dreds.

This will be the first ever Grand Slam to feature a men’s final between Nadal and Federer and a women’s final between Venus and Serena. The tennis Gods must be trying to compensate for the awfulness that is the Trump presidency.

Something outside woke me up around 5:30 am, so I thought, I’ll see if the Nadal match is still going. Holy shit. Did I feed my kid breakfast? What did she wear to school? Did I drive her there? No idea. It’s all a blur. FEDAL final.

These Williams wins made me very happy. I feel like either outcome is a positive one. If Venus wins, that will be a heartwarming return to glory and Serena should have other chances for a Slam win. If Serena wins (a more likely outcome), she sets a grand record for most wins in the Open era and Venus will still…

One of the greatest American stories ever told. Two sisters from Compton excelling on and of the court.

Venus is very happy, and I’m happy, too, because  she’ll be playing her sister in the final.

Just spent 15 minutes at Yahoo reading about EPA gag orders, water boarding resurrection plans, Texas lawmakers trying to criminalize abortion because women should be more accountable...I needed to read a story like this right now.

Best I can tell, the only precedent for a Grand Slam final gap like this one is Thelma Coyne Long, who played in the final of (what was then called) the Australian Championships in 1940 and didn’t play another until 1951.
