I don’t disagree with the larger issue, but I really dislike his choice of words. The “bolder minds” will leave it to the hacks? Don’t threaten to run away and call yourself bold in the same sentence. That’s Sir Robin territory.

To be fair, it seems to be mainly Star Wars. There have been at least a half-dozen or more disappointing Star Trek movies (conservative estimate), several less-than-great X-Men movies, and a shitload of terrible Bond movies, but I don’t remember any death threats in the aftermath of those films. Almost all of the…
I love the musical interludes in this show. Music is very tied to the core of what it is. If you notice, the episode names for each season are song titles from the albums of two different artists. Also, I had no clue who Kingfish Ingram was until he was on this show, and I haven’t stopped checking his stuff out on…
I think LA will be able to field a good, and quite likely excellent, team around LeBron. They may even win a ring or two!
I propose we have a new phrase for jumping the shark.
Okay, I’m not quite done, but let’s get into it anyway…
I basically agree with all this except for the bit about Spotify being forced to retract their decision to remove X’s and R. Kelly’s music.
I mean, to hell with them both. But you’re not about to have me rallying behind a moralistic outcry that begins and ends with black people. If they were serious about that…
What is the over-under for the first Jerry Jones reference? 15 words?
Never forget: “When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”
But lower taxes, AMIRITE!?
Guys I’m starting to think maybe it’s not really about the anthem.
But, like, can we have Wally as the main Flash?
“These ‘scars’ tell my history which include a dark time when I was in prison”
Iron Man (LeBron) almost had Thanos’s glove off, and Star Lord (J.R.) had to come in and screw it all up. The following massacre is all his fault.
Can we stop this shit? Can we stop with this “Wasn’t it great when we murdered each other over music battles” bullshit? No, no it wasn’t. Go say that shit to Biggie’s kid and see where it gets you.
I don’t get how people still hate this guy. It’s just stubbornness and contrarianism.
I’m sure CTE has something to do with his behavior, but it would not surprise me in the slightest if Incognito was really, really into Alex Jones.
Laura, good article, you bring up really solid points and I 100% agree with you.
You think this guy will embrace a teachable moment? You really think he doesn’t believe what he said? If he regrets saying what he said, he only regrets the result. The bully gets bullied. Fair game as far as I’m concerned. Karma’s a bitch.
Counterpoint: Public shaming may be the tool most appropriate to change not only his behavior, but that of the next racist.
