You’re conflating the rule that defines a player in a defenseless posture with the specific rule to protect QBs from getting hit in the head. The latter—Rule 12.2.9, which I cite above—applies to “[a]ny physical acts against a player who is in a passing posture (i.e. before, during, or after a pass).” I’ll stick to…

So it’s an illegal hit that didn’t deserve to be flagged. Got it.

No puppet.

It’s reassuring to see that we’ve voted in another man of color as president.

I don’t consider Trump racist or sexist because of his supporters. I consider him those things because of his own words. You’re making a fake distinction.

Wait - you’re seriously trying to say that Trump isn’t sexist?

Obviously Raptors can’t shoot with those tiny arms.

The risk of destroying your brand and your fanbase. Look at someone like Curt Schilling.

It’s all relative. Would you risk speaking your mind and potentially alienating half the country in the process if it meant losing an endorsement deal that could potentially pay 5 times your annual salary? I can’t say with any certainty that I would but I respect a man that can.

The man is openly hostile towards women, immigrants, people of color, and, to a lesser extent, LGBT folks (although Pence more than makes up for it on that front). And this doesn’t even take into account how erratic and capricious he…

Clearly.

Losing sponsorships, getting cut by an owner. It can still happen. Guaranteed contracts do help.

I took it seriously.

That’s defamation, asshole. He was my classmate at Hollywood Upstairs Medical College.

Guys, I’m beginning to think Doc didn’t go to medical school.

Isn’t that funny? It wasn’t that long ago that the NBA was the league of “thugs” and criminals. But really, it’s a league played by and largely for young people and minorities. It’s only now that the average fan has learned to grasp that the complex issues surrounding race and prejudice in America extended beyond “he…

Love it. Nice to hear people who kids look up to say how they feel. The NBA seems like the only league these days with any brains.

This country deserves Roger Goodell and Bill Belichick bumping uglies in the middle of a full stadium for 4 hours instead of the Super Bowl.
