If you click through to the report and go to page 15, there's a sidebar with fatality numbers for World Cup and Olympic construction projects in other countries. Seven workers died during Brazil's World Cup construction.

Anti-vax people are assholes. There are a certain percentage of children who cannot get vaccinated because of allergies and various medical issues and thus rely on herd immunity to prevent contracting shit like the mumps and measles. Not only are the anti-vaxers putting their own kids' at risk, they're putting these…

It won't make them autistic, and it will prevent them from going around and giving everyone whooping cough.

The thing with baseball is that it's a game of very specific repetitive motions. So while it's funny that a player can be sidelined with a muscle "tweak" or a hangnail, if those things affect their ability to effectively throw a ball or swing a bat, they're serious injuries.

You think hockey fans have an inferiority complex? Talk to a sober rugby fan.

That's how I feel about basketball. It's both fast and slow at the same time.

What this analysis is missing, though, is the obvious racial component to it. Just replace "hockey" and "basketball" with "hard-working American" and "welfare user" and you see the exact same memes all over the place, with people of the exact same skin tones accompanying them. It's definitely part due to the declining…

I absolutely hate these brainless motherfuckers that preach this racist BS to no end. Thanks for calling them out.

America is balding and near death and vainly clads its head with a beautiful symbol of youth.

She's a hustler and a grifter, but she's made her money off of people's voyeurism and stupidity. She's a capitalist and while I don't jive with her chosen career path, she's ultimately harmless. I have less feelings of animosity for her than I do for anyone who's been in a Woody Allen movie for example. I think some…

True to his band's name, the guy from Korn has a way of reappearing after you'd forgotten all about him.

But if I don't threaten people with death, how will they know that I want them to die?

There's an easy, objective way to determine who is the best at ice dancing: whichever pair lasts the longest before I say, "Eh, fuck this" and change the channel is the best.

No, he fined James Harrison $50,000 and took away a first round pick from Belichick.

Rick Reilly will steal this. And update it, then re-anachronize it, with some Michael Sam shuttlecock puns.

You know why these things are news, moron radio show callers and tweeters? Because you're watching your society change in real time. THAT'S why it's news. That's why it's important.

P.S. I should probably explain something - in an earlier post I said that reactions such as yours were the new form of bigotry (similar to the new use of "thug"). I realize that that's not necessarily so, and I don't want to imply that here - some people are well-meaning but underrate the amount of bigotry that's…

I know, but "Man Who Just Lit Olympic Torch Was One of the Best Goalies Ever and Got Pulled From a Game In Which His Team Eventually Lost To a Bunch of College Kids" doesn't have the same ring to it.
