Male swimmer sexually assaults a woman: “30 seconds of bad decisions should not ruin his life!”

Female soccer play flips the bird: “BURN THE WITCH!”

Got it.
Out of curiosity, if she wins...will she flip the double bird in court? I hope so.

Well, I mean, this wasn’t a minor offense that you wouldn’t want to ruin an athlete’s life over, like punching a woman in the face or raping them.

So it sounds like you’re admitting he did do something wrong. Why are you defending him then?

To say that he shouldn’t have retaliated with a right hook is not to say that she had every right to physically assault him. She was wrong. No doubt. But it’s pretty clear that he escalated the situation. Passing judgment on him for doing that (when he quite clearly had other options) is not the same as giving her a…

No to the former, yes to the latter. He barely moves when she weakly slaps at him. It’s also not the only discrepancy in his account.

He could have walked away. He was in zero danger.

Oh shut the fuck up, asshole.

Being Oklahoma, I can only assume she was being racist. However, did not deserve to get her clock cleaned.

This scandal represents the first time anyone has ever received useful information from sports radio.

Sage would’ve made a very fine tribute from District 1.

And yet many of us - myself included - were like “There is no way a signficant amount of ‘undecided voters’ would choose this disaster of a human being over an overqualified and competent woman for president.” I feel so fucking stupid.

What a pathetic hill to die on. If they boycotted because a rapist(s) went unpunished, that would be awesome. I’d even happily accept boycotting a game because they don’t get paid. But to boycott in support of rapists?

First they came for the Jews, and I said nothing.
Next they came for the blacks, and I said nothing.
Next they came for the gays, and I said nothing.
Next they came for the Mexicans, and I said nothing.
Next they came for the baseball writers, and I said “BY GOD THE SANCTITY OF THE HALL OF FAME MUST BE DEFENDED!!!!”

2016 won’t let us keep anything nice.

Dikembe continued “From now on I will no longer be using e-mail, to prevent this from happening again. Who wants to text Mutombo?”

Would watch that movie.

You’re just mad because imaginary Cousins averages a triple-double on the Celtics and the imaginary Wizards trade away John Wall and move to Butte, Montana and change their name to the Butte Bullboys and toxic waste spills on the imaginary Deadspin office and you and Petchesky body swap which is fun for a few days but…

Lots of assumptions here. I’m totally against the way our criminal justice and prisons systems work. And he totally is a human who is worthy of rehabilitation. But he’s also shown zero interest. He also KILLED 3 people and obviously doesn’t care. So I’m not going to say poor him - and that’s what I object to. To…

hooooooolyyyyyyy shit.

Have you ever considered introducing yourself over the phone as “Sargent, Jordan?”
