Because the mortality rate with this is many times higher than the flu. The flu kills a lot of people but that’s slightly misleading because very few otherwise healthy people will die of the flu each year. Influenza is, however, really good at finishing the job age or disease has started. There’s a reason that AIDS…

Equipment managers carry jocks. So if you’re not good enough to carry said jock, you’re not even good enough to be the equipment guy compared to the guy saying the thing.

100% stake in Riot Games.

It seems like the bulk of the rock pile tickets are now just a $5 cover charge for the bar that’s in right field now.

They’re accusing the host of tweeting this at himself. He’s openly gay at (according to their complaint) was demanding a settlement for the hostile environment he was working in. The complaint goes on to allege that he’s experiencing severe financial difficulty as a motive.

That’s the thing with analytics, it only surfaces good answers when you ask the right questions.

“As someone who lives in St. Louis, all I can say is what the fuck did you expect?”

“And two: my second account will also be banned. And Twitter would be correct to do so, because Twitter is a private company, with private terms of use. “Free speech” doesn’t enter into it, and I would be hyperbolic in the extreme for invoking it.”

The NSWL just lost a major sponsor and the bulk of their TV coverage when A&E pulled out a couple of months ago. Also (as I stated earlier) their attendance numbers are pretty poor and not improving. Maybe the world cup will change that, but that hasn’t historically been the case in previous years (as noted in the…

Last year 99.6 million people watched the League of Legends world final world wide. 98.2 million watched the super bowl.

“But like in every other aspect of life, in global soccer the sexism persists. It’s why Real Madrid didn’t agree to take on a women’s club until this year, and the billionaires at Manchester United didn’t start a women’s team until last year.”

“And unless the team you like is the one that won, that’s a great thing.”

An attorney is necessary in this case. The medical bills are enormous. If they have medical insurance that insurance will force them to seek damages. If they don’t the only standing between them and financial ruin is to get the Astros to pay up.

“That the family has an attorney here is expected...but also kind of sad in that they likely have rationalized having absolutely no responsibility in contributing to this situation.”

“I love to hear the argument about why the women’s national soccer team doesn’t deserve equal pay, when they bring in more money.”
