Aquan Boldin is also not on a team.

Yes

Doesn’t he know that the rules changed a few years back? Catchers aren’t allowed to defend home like that anymore.

pretty sure they have worked their asses off and have earned everything they have. If you wanna blame someone blames the dipshits like you that have set up a society where athletes can make millions of dollars a year.

“These spoiled millionaires should be grateful they get to play a kids game”

They were not given anything. They earned a pretty good life one the field. But ask James Blake or Thabo sefolosha about that great life the were “given” when they came up against the NYPD. Or Anquan Bolden when his cousin was murdered by an officer.

If I had to guess, I’d say that the actual people offended by the protests are seriously around 1-2% of the population, and the vast majority of those are veterans and/or people who grew up in very traditional and/or military families. My mom was uncomfortable about the protest at first, last year. She absolutely…

I work hard for a living(just like most people including the half of the country who support these players) and I am happy these players are using their platform to call attention to problems that are centuries old that we pretend dont exist because most of the victims are poor and or minorities. You know they didn’t…

My dad is a vet too, and he always said that one of the biggest things he learned from his military experience was that the map is not the terrain—you can’t conflate the abstraction with the thing itself, because the thing changes and you have to be able to adapt with it.

Basically, you fuck with people’s symbols at your peril.

“the anthem issue, which has affected TV ratings”

A comment section on The Onion would be incredible content.

Hernangomez and Ntilikina are...not the right players for the point you’re trying to make here? Billy was 1st team all rookie last year and Ntilikina is a rookie lottery pick. They’ve both promising players who could have plenty of star power one day.

You think that it’s your fault because you’ve been told your whole life the things you have to do to stay safe, and if you’re not safe you feel as if you did something wrong. You feel shame because you think that somehow you let it happen, that you gave an opening, that you led someone on, that you didn’t say “no”…

It’s pure power. Research any institutional sexual abuse scandal, from the Catholic Church, Boy Scouts, Florida Boys Correctional Institute, Weinstein, Trump, etc. Power preys on weakness, and manipulates the victim in order to maintain the power dynamic.

It is not just women. Countless young boys and men were also sexually assulated and abused (catholic priest scandal, penn state et all) and remained quiet. Chronic abusers and predators use their position of power or authority to abuse, shame and silence their victims.

Who’s President of the United States? How many women formally accused him of sexual assault BEFORE the election? Did it matter?

Stop.

Are you fucking kidding me, scumbag?
