Go read the comments to any ESPN article on the matter. The vast majority are of the “spoiled athletes make millions to play games and millennials just want a handout” variety.

You said it’s "more palatable" than wet garbage, and appeared to belittle its format. You did not say, and a reader could not reasonably be expected to infer, that you feel it is "sports content that you don't mind watching."

I wouldn’t concede anything. The only way it might be annoying to call out someone’s foot on the line in a pick up game is if you have unlimited gym time, no one waiting for “next”, and you are playing with family friends who haven’t made very many shots with a basketball in their lives before. In even a moderately…

Nah. If it’s a situation where the winner holds the court, and you are playing with 2's and 3's (for some bad reason), it is perfectly acceptable to call out an opposing player’s foot being on the line, particularly at the end of a game. Someone has to call out if it’s a 2 or 3, and usually an off-ball defender (like…

He wasn't guarding the shooter.

You might try playing basketball at different places. Based on your judgments and silly fear that the other players will kick your ass or murder you if you talk shit (assuming you mean stuff like “you can’t guard me” and not “I fucked your mother”), it sure sounds like you don’t belong.

The Hand of the King of Pop

What a dumb fucking thing to say about a prepubescent child.

So all these years while you were listening to the Killers, you were thinking, “man, if only these guys wrote slightly worse songs and had a halfway decent Freddie Mercury impersonator on vocals, they would be PERFECT!”??

It sounds like Facebook brought in Roger Goodell to handle this review process. He just wanted to get it right, really needed to get the facts straight and didn't want to jump to any conclusions.

Compare to their guidelines about “nudity” and they seem less reasonable.

This made me lol because mental image of Draymond Green dressed as Goldust running through an otherwise regular NBA game and just doing Goldust shit to people and feeling himself is very, very funny to me.

I was questioning why the commenter thought reports should be mentioning that it was “Latin Night,” because that seems irrelevant. The fact that it was a gay night club is relevant and should be reported, because there is significant evidence indicating that the killer was motivated by hatred of gay people. Other than…

I mostly agree, but the distinction between religion and “religious extremism” is getting blurred. What about a Christian preacher who says LGBT people are going to hell? Or that being gay is a sin? At what point does it become extremism? Sure, you can draw the line at violence, or covert encouragement of violence,…

I didn't know that it was Latin night. Is there any reason to believe that this motivated the shooter, or that he was targeting people of color?

Huh? I'm not sure if you're somehow suggesting that I'm offended by two men kissing or how on earth you got that impression.

Yea, he’s an awesome player, but it’s impossible to root for or respect a guy that repeatedly and intentionally hits people in the dick. He does it when he’s getting physically dominated, too. He thinks he’s a big tough enforcer and a badass, and he is, but when he’s up against someone bigger and stronger he can’t…

But how do WE respond on the left? How do WE take control of this narrative so that meaningful changes can be made? We know how the right will spin this. We have to beat them. We have to win the battle for gun control. We have to win the battle for LGBT rights, and implement a zero tolerance policy for any group or…

I agree, but we should not ignore that religion has served to legitimize hatred of LGBT people. We should not be promoting tolerance of any religious organization or movement that preaches intolerance of LGBT people or promotes oppression of women, as many Islamic and Christian organizations do. I’m not sure whether…

Why not include civil war battles?
