Yes, yes, and yes. I could not believe someone actually suggested using the mouse for this.  It’s like watching my father-in-law click. inside. every. form. element. to. fill. it. out.  RANDY I KNOW YOU HAVE A TAB KEY.

Settle a score in my office. You’re typing and realize you misspelled something. Do you…

I noted this on Gizmodo.

Good job preemptively naming Bo Jackson, and can we also stipulate Barry Sanders?

I agree with you (and Scocca) and I think it’s important to continue hammering the point that the NBA absolutely can and should pull out of China. But I also think it’s instructive to understand why it likely won’t: Because Silver, for all that he poses himself as the benign neoliberal CEO of the league, is actually

Help me understand Domino’s position here.  It feels like they are spending a lot more money on lawyers to contest this than they would need to pay tech people to make their website work with screen readers.

Completely apart from the moral principles of the situation, I really think Silver needs to double down and tell the Chinese to go fuck themselves. The NBA is obviously the best professional basketball league in the world, and by an enormous margin. Silver has real leverage because he has a monopoly on the product

This is by no means a defense of the response from Domino’s, but it needs to be understood that ADA lawsuits have become a massive litigation industry. Tech-savvy lawyers will scour the internet for targets, using widely-available compliance/screen reading tech and then they’ll search for a “victim” to claim that

We have seen how basketball can be an important form of people-to-people exchange that deepens ties between the United States and China.

Maybe he should have disguised it as a United States Treasury bond.

I’m a lawyer (hold your applause). Most attorneys have respect for the unwritten “professional courtesy” when it comes to scheduling matters, moving deadlines, etc. It’s about not being a dick more than anything, and people who don’t respect the professional courtesy are assholes.

Weird... I work in a field where I have to care about website accessibility, and it seems odd to me that large companies wouldn’t be up to accessibility standards.

Petty beef has the most flavor.

PS-We need better coaching”

It’s amazing that we live in a world where “BROWNS SUCK AT FOOTBALL” is considered surprising breaking news.

It’s less that, and just being respectful to other professionals.

Not that I’ve ever played sports that earned myself or anyone else money, but I have played sports. And I really don’t think that, once you’re on the field you’re thinking about the economics.

Dunno, that’s a pretty basic one right there. You want to be salty and pissy and not even extend the courtesy of a handshake, then yeah, I’m fine with Sherman’s reaction. Sherman didn’t do the equivalent of throwing a fastball at someone’s head, he just said it motivated him. Nothing to see here.

Luke-warm take: It’s ok to be annoyed if a guy refuses to shake your hand before the game.

I like Richard Sherman - I don’t think he’s asking too much to have a respectful handshake before the game. Why not?
