Because they’re athletes and their job is to be different from the rest of us.

Yeah, I’m not even vegan, but this tendency annoys the shit out of me. Non vegans talk way more shit about vegans than the other way around. Who gives a shit what someone chooses or not chooses to eat. This food worship is probably why everyone is so fat and diseased. Also, I’ve had really good vegan dishes that…

While there’s truth that everybody thinks they’re right and everyone else is wrong and that this is a large part of the problem in this country, when cops start stopping your people for no reason and get caught on camera murdering unresistant suspects with impunity, then you can talk. Until then, shut the fuck up. It…

The people who vote for Trump are people who don’t think like a normal person. They’re not happy with their lives and instead of taking accountability for their own position in life, or at least sucking it up and making the best of it like the rest of us, they’re angry and bitter and want to blame somebody for it.

DJ is the most dominant fighter in any fight-sport today.

Dark skin and light eyes. Trust me. You can look like a melting klingon (which Jeter kind of does) and women will still find you attractive. I remember in college there was dude in one of my English classes who was overweight and spoke with a high-pitched lisp and laughed like a Catholic school glee club member, and…

Jeter’s was a combination of being a young (rookie?) shortstop on that 1996 team. He was good-looking and a “home-grown” Yankee talent. There was a combination of east coast bias and him making a handful of decent plays during the playoffs and world series. Plus he was the lone consistent piece of a Yankees…

Jeter’s range was the major issue, and that liability would’ve been substantially addressed by a move to 3rd base. Whereas he was average-to- below-average defensive shortstop, he probably would’ve been a slightly above average 3rd baseman.

Haha. It’s proven itself to be one of the safer sports in the world, and it is because of its rules and referees. I mean, we’re still a bit away from determining whether the sport breeds CTE like football or soccer, but guys fight (safely) into their 40s and 50s regularly and other than Ken Shamrock I can’t think of a…

Yeah, dude. Sometimes I like the “event” of like splurging on a high-end restaurant. But most of the time I end up wishing I had just gone for a pizza somewhere.

It’s not about “gender-equality” it’s about “entertainment.” If fans are entertained, they will show up, and the athletes will get paid more. This would be a good thing for the women basketball players. “Gender equality” isn’t about forcing people to like Women’s basketball as much as men’s. I think it’s about coming…

Nah. Fuck the 33-percent who still think Trump was a good idea. They’re never coming to our side, anyway.

I’m just some moron on kinja, but I agree with that. The 33-percent of the population that still thinks Trump was a good idea is never going to change its voting habits—at least not on a significant-enough scale.

The question wasn’t whether ownership over congress “led” to anything. The point was that when people are motivated to vote, the liberals win.

Who owned Congress after the 2008 elections?

Dude, honestly, friend doesn’t even need to say thank you. The deed should’ve been done because you’re a good dude and a good friend. Receiving or not receiving a thank you shouldn’t change that.

GET A TV SHOW, SIMMONS.

Eh. It’s generally an exercise in tribal warfare. It’s why the Christian Zealots still voted for Trump even though, outside of his wealth, bad hair and pride, he theoretically stands against all of their most cherished values and norms. Ultimately, he was a member of their tribe and Hilary was not.

Yeah, Burneko says that our political system is broken. But it works just fine. There are a lot of dumb people out there. The smart people disagree with the dumb people, but they’re usually outnumbered. Or, at least, the dumb people tend to be more motivated to vote, for whatever reason.
