I remember when the Aziz Ansari story hit and there started to be a backlash to it, so many people kept falling back on the defense of “look, nobody is saying his career should be destroyed FOREVER over this....”

THIS.

“the vast majority of the dip in unemployment happened under Obama, and the numbers were “fake” until Trump won.”

So, is referring to a greenside bunker as “the pit of misery” in or out?

“Game shows are BACK!!”

(sigh)....are we really going to keep ignoring that what irked so many people was the way the original article was presented, which made it sound like the girls were staging a klan rally on the bus?

Geez Deadspin, don’t get all salty now just because you got called out for going full clickbait.

Outstanding callback here!

I think at some level the players may just have not considered this as a realistic possibility. When negotiating, it might not have occurred to them that owners would regularly be willing to make their teams actively worse for 20-25% of a season, and in plain view of their fanbase no less.

I totally acknowledge the existence of white privilege, I just wish we could go back in time and call it a different term. Because like it or not, words often have specific meanings within culture.

I’m always amused/enraged when weather hits the northeast and major sites like CNN et al start talking about it as if it just started affecting the United States now that it is affecting them, too. Like, in the Midwest we’ve already been dealing with even colder temperatures than what they are saying “is coming in the…

You are 100% correct, and a large portion of us KNOW you are 100% correct, so if YOU are upset just imagine how maddening it is for US to be stuck under these dumbshits. Be glad you’re on the outside looking in....

More and more, I don’t think it is “white” women as much as it is “Evangelical” women.

Oh really? And what progressive is going to be willing to work with him when we see there can be no forgiveness ever for his transgressions? (As evidenced by most of the comments here)
