If an announcer calls a move by a black basketball player “flashy”, Greg will create a post about it

The last WWC netted about $10.9m. The men’s was about $337m.

It is a problem and I understand the plight here, but all the “they would have had to beat THIS team and THIS team and THIS team to win the WC” is moot cause they didn’t beat the first one.

Maybe if France won more games, they wouldn’t be bitching.

I’ve found that if I don’t read the comments, then they are all simultaneously hilarious and awful.

In a way, the USWNT is the answer to the common lament among some fans that if only LeBron James and Russell Westbrook and Maurice Jones-Drew played soccer instead of basketball or football, then our men’s would obviously be the best. It’s true that we’d undoubtedly be better with access to our entire athletic talent…

I’m sure that’s true. Men are stronger and faster. I used the word “seem” for a reason. I’m saying that the difference in playing ability doesn’t manifest in super obvious ways when watching a women’s soccer match like it does for, say, women’s basketball (no dunking, low scoring).

Police have identified former MLB player Darryl Hamilton and his wife, Monica Jordan, as the victims of what appears to be a murder-suicide

I don’t know. In my opinion it seems like that guy...forgot where he came from.

He hired talented writers and editors like Eric Nusbaum, Jorge Arangure Jr., David Roth, and Aaron Gordon ... most have had work published at Deadspin

Jameis Winston employs common legal strategy instead of making the writer happy by pleading guilty.

Hobson also worked on the cinematics (?) for the game, The Last of Us, which released in 2013..which also happened to feature the story of a man, that while his own daughter was killed, was united with a girl whom he was to deliver to a quarantine zone, who also happened to be infected (though immune) to the…

People, people. The first general rule of being alive, for which there are few exceptions, is that human beings are beneath contempt.

Just like I’ll respect the journalist who refuses to work for a publisher who does ethically questionable things, like skirting tax responsibilities or posting nude pictures of people (read: that’s you, buddy).

The best part about this is that it is coming from a white dude working for a company currently being sued for exploiting unpaid interns. How do you justify still getting paid by Gawker?

How would that help anyone? You're advocating a stand on principle that would just lead to players getting more exploited than they already are - that's not a productive way to operate.

What else is Calipari suppose to do other than using his platform to advocate paying players for what they’re worth? He even has suggested the power conferences leave the NCAA entirely.

Hey Bob, I don't know how old you are, but you might want to try dating somebody who's older than you, more than just a year or two older. Maybe one that already has kids - teenagers or above - so they're not looking for Instant-Daddy, but more of just a companion. Older women may not want to go jogging at 6am or go…
