Buffon’s heartwrenching Tribute in case it hasn’t been posted already:

Such a shame. You should read the tribute written to him by Buffon, it’s lovely. Ho un cuore viola. Forza Viola 😓💜

So it’s a terrible opinion and he sounds like a redneck idiot. But why is this a fireable offense? It’s a dumb opinion but it isn’t racist, sexist, or homophobic. Baseball coaches aren’t allowed to have dumb opinions about marijuana now?

we’re the type of athletes that dive head first

I’m not sure why the dude’s teammate felt trying to move the ball boy was a better solution than trying to move the guy on top swinging away. Way to help, guy.

Montreal is a fucking rad city. Tampa is where old white people go to die. There’s absolutely no comparison.

There were a few similar stories from the Vegas shooting (what a sad sentence to write). In the ceaseless shitstorm of bad faith our society is drowning in, it’s reassuring to know that selfless people are still around, reacting with courage when it’s exactly what’s needed.

SHUT UP STOP CRYING AT MY DESK.

So hard to process. He left behind a wife and child whose lives will never be the same. Such a high cost. And yet, he surrendered his life in the act of purchasing life for other children. Stunning.

I want a fucking parade for this guy.

I’m not crying at my desk...You’re crying at my desk!

To be fair, Bill is always on Holliday.

Ok someone post the picture of him kissing his daughter so we can get it over with.

NBC can cut to a studio host or news-host, someone experienced in discussing these things, but what would you have like them to do? Maybe they don’t produce several video montages or interviews that prop him up as a hero (which they did in-between) unless they do include reference to it in that format. It really…

Sure. But that’s not the time to do it. “Look at this double mctwist back-grab shoulder jump by White - look at that air -and by the way Shaun White settled out of court with a former bandmate named Lena Zawaideh for sexual harassment, wrongful termination, wage nonpayment, and other labor code violations - but WOW…

I’m kind of hazy as to why it’s the Olympic commentators, or any sports commentators job, to continuously bring up that x athlete has x sexual/domestic allegations held against him. They are calling the sport in a (hopefully) nonbiased way. They don’t need to insert anything else into the broadcast to please the…

Yeah....in a shitty punk band. On the other hand your opinion means very.....very little.

I think he handled this pretty well. He could have understandably gotten defensive about this being brought up during the coverage of his win, but he appropriately apologized for using dismissive language.

It is gossip. Just because it’s a lawsuit doesn’t mean everything is open to discussion. Sure, I can go to the courthouse, find my neighbor’s DUI conviction or child custody papers, call her up and ask about it — but it doesn’t mean it’s any of my business.

Who gives a shit?
