Look, I hate FIFA, I hate Blatter, but fixing a match by booking an Italian for diving is genius.

Has that headline writer accepted the offer of a job at Deadspin yet? Or is the time difference giving you trouble getting in touch with him?
I fail to understand why anyone would write an article that may DISCOURAGE people from drinking MORE water. Last I checked, almost NOBODY hurt themselves by drinking too much.
Steroids-era Barry Bonds in the batter’s box was the most dominant thing I've ever seen in any sport.
At this point I’ve no choice but hate Christopher Nolan with all my strenght. Because, no matter how good he’s, it’s at least partially his fault that every idiot in Hollywood now believes that desaturization of colors is the secret to a good movie. I believe it will take several more masterpieces like George Miller’s…
Volvo did nothing wrong here. Cars come with options. Options cost money. I can’t NOT get the sunroof option on a car and then expect to stick my hand through the roof of the car. This car didn’t have the feature that prevents hitting pedestrians. The owner should have known that. Sure, Volvo could make that feature…
If it was sexual assault every time someone made a move on another person who wasn’t interested, we’d all be in fucking jail before age 20, you included I’m sure.
Your opinion on the character of these women is less than a grain of sand on the beach.... You’re a professional blogger, not an expert witness, and biased, to boot, based on Gawker’s continued support for mattress girl and various attacks on the accused... GFYS
Should we not have a threshold, though? Given that some proportion of sexual assaults are seriously fucked up, it seems problematic to lower the bar to nearly nothing. From the article: “Any intentional sexual touching, however slight, with any object without a person’s consent ...” The bar for an encounter being…
You’re also an idiot. You know who else thought they had a pretty good bullshit detector and had no doubt they were dealing with a forthright, wholly credible source? Sabrina Erdely. And there is approximately as much evidence in favor of Emma Sulkowicz’s story as there was for Jackie Coakley’s. Nobody got raped here,…
Hero? She had an awkward moment with some dude at a party. She’s not Harriet fucking Tubman.
So it was too much work to deal with investigators to properly handle a rape case, but it was a lot easier to carry a heavy mattress around a college campus for a year?
This is a silly comment. Let me preface this by saying that I have no idea whether Emma was raped or not. I also recognize that cordial communications with an assailant are not evidence that a rape did not occur. That said, what I find strange is Emma’s lack of concern for other women immediately after the rape. Two…
The problem is that Sexual Assault runs the gamete from physically incapacitating someone and doing everything up to penetration to putting your hand on someone’s back without explicitly asking permission. Unfortunately most people think of it as much closer to the former and don’t understand just how much the…
It’s tough. Not too long ago, we lived in a world where a “handsy” date or, even worse, boss/coworker was considered to be par for the course, and just shrugged off. For example Helen Gurley Brown infamously talked about a game called “scuttle” where guys in the office would chase a woman down and rip her panties off,…
Thank you for having the strength to share your story, anonymous person whom I’ve never met and am supposed to blindly take everything you’ve said as the truth.
You’re right in the fact that investigations are often invasive and exhausting, but this is the same girl who carried a mattress for like two years. If she had the strength to do that she could have... maybe should have used it to follow through with the investigation.
“The incident happened my junior year at Columbia, when Paul followed me upstairs at a party, came into a room with me uninvited, closed the door behind us, and grabbed me. I politely said, “Hey, no, come on, let’s go back downstairs.” He didn’t listen. He held me close to him as I said no, and continued to pull me…
I don’t normally comment on websites, but there is such a wealth of misinformation about this case in the Jezebel comments, I feel compelled to. He was not accused of rape by multiple women. Emma accused him of rape. One of the other accusers accused him of groping her at a party (which is still a crime, but not…
You’d probably watch if you’re curious.
