It would matter exclusively if they all changed their mind and decided to vote for one of the two major party candidates, which kind of just drives home their point.

Trying to catch an errant throw, and being a high schooler with less-than-perfect awareness of his surroundings. He made a mistake, but it didn’t have to lead to a brutal injury if the runner didn’t want to be a badass.

It’s just tepid neoliberal coachspeak for “I want all of the credit for being a woke coach like Kerr or Popp, but without any of the blowback that might come if I actually say something meaningful.”

How long has he been coaching for what everyone considers the best-run organization in the league without this ever coming out?

I got to watch him and Bachette almost all season last year in single-A, and nobody knew just how spoiled we were.

Wow, it’s almost like your straw man for irrational NCAA critics doesn’t actually have any basis in reality.

I used to coach baseball at a small school with a good program (not 82-0 good), so I kinda get where he’s coming from. Baseball just seems like about the worst sport for these kinds of matchups. The gap between the haves and have nots is bigger than most sports. It’s just brutal when one team is overmatched - games…

It’s not an ideological bias. Yes, ESPN, like virtually every consumer-facing national business in America, leans slightly left, almost exclusively on social issues, for 100% pragmatic ratings-driven reasons.

All that proves is that you have a very juvenile understanding of what racism means.

At the HS/NCAA level there’s usually some sign the hitter is supposed to give to acknowledge, so the runner on 3rd doesn’t get killed. Otherwise it’s the same as any other sign.

Because of the spin on the ball, catchers are always taught to turn their back to the field when fielding pop ups because otherwise the ball is spinning away from them, making it very difficult to catch. For that reason, pop ups in fair territory are a much tougher plays than it looks like for a catcher. This was…

Ver Dr Evil voice: Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

FWIW, a second member of the BOT, Dianne Byron, called for Simon’s resignation after initially signing the letter of support for her.

There was an FBI investigation of the school.

I think you are dramatically underestimating how many details of their lives your close friends are keeping from you.

It was a basketball coach who constantly rambles and says things that don’t make sense... doing that. It makes no sense in the context of what he said, and he has now apologized for it.

If Twitter banned Trump tomorrow, he’d switch to another platform and do the same shit, and literally nothing would change.

I guess I’m flummoxed as to what your point of reference is if you think it’s something unique to Michigan State University, rather than, say, the nature of sports fans and humanity in general, that most would rather chat about the team they cheer for and the results of games than a sad and embarrassing scandal in the…

If you haven’t heard a lot about this case and you live near EL, that’s on you, not the supposed rubes you live among. There was an editorial in the LSJ calling for Simon to resign like a week ago.

I’m sure we can all agree that the proper outcome would have been for MSU to have uncovered Nasser’s crimes when they were first alleged and get him put in prison, but that obviously didn’t happen so once they’re at the point where lawsuits are filed, what exactly were their options? Pay out enormous settlements, or…
