Hamilton, you seem to be completely missing the incredibly cynical meaning of what Ellis said. Republicans have concluded that American voters are idiots with zero math fluency and a complete inability to delay gratification; I would say this is a sad but accurate conclusion. Offer the average American $X now and…

Snowflake.

Sounds like Trevor Rosenthal is the one to blame for the whole season, since the Cards were undefeated and in first place until he fucked up everything by not covering first fast enough on July 20 (from where they never won a game again, the whole season).

When I was a kid (back when barely any Americans played soccer), we played a lot of games on fields this shitty, often in damp, cold weather. There was usually 20 guys standing around, wet, miserable, and wondering why their parents were making them play in this shit, while there were 2 kids (whose parent were…

Are we really surprised that an organization that spends much of its resources aiding and abetting the pimping out of teenagers for the benefit of people like John Calipari and Nick Saban is now willing to fuck over its own employees in order to appease the alt-right snowflakes in its audience?

After I mocked a report about NFL fans burning their team gear and giving up on their season tickets in protest over players taking a knee during the national anthem, I had someone ask me how I would respond to those people who said the players were disrespecting the flag and the troops. I kind of mentally ran in…

In light of Trump’s war on immigrants, is it really appropriate to dump on the refugees from our failure in Vietnam? Its got to be horse people, for humanitarian reasons.

Bad news: the ALDS is going to be boring (small sample size acknowledged).

Stupid 16-year-olds. They never see the handshake-bear hug-chokehold move coming until it’s too late. I blame Obama.

When I read the list, I thought, “Huh; Jrue Holiday is playing for the Bulls. How’d I miss that?” Good news: I didn’t miss anything, I just can’t read good. Bad news: everything for Bulls fans.

Hey, organizations embodying racial slurs don’t cause racial slurs, racial slurers cause racial slurs. I’m pretty sure that’s basic 2nd amendment logic.

At the inevitable Congressional hearings/impeachment of Trump, I can also guarantee that Trump says this exact same thing to McConnell.

HamNo: *logical, simple explanation of the fallacy of supply-side economics*

I think that most of the massacres of Native Americans occurred under the ostensible authority of the U.S. (or territorial) government and would therefore be considered acts of war (more accurately, war crimes).

Thank you for this article. Every time I’ve heard the Vegas shooting described by the media over the past few days as the “worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history”, I kept asking why there were using the adjective “modern”. Being a middle-class white man, I assumed they were being overly pedantic, as if there was…

I’m going to agree with @cwolf, infra, on this: there are not nearly enough competent QBs in the world to fill the 32 starting slots in the NFL. With the game being run the way it is currently, QBs have maxed out physically and intellectually; they can’t get bigger, stronger, and faster (at least to any positive…

This is the best take on the Weeden signing: http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/10/03/brandon_weeden_gets_colin_kaepernick_s_job.html.

Dude. Are you seriously looking for ethical foundation, narrative honesty, and social awareness in the WWE? I applaud your perspective, but c’mon. It is an organization built on making shit up. Its to commercial organizations what Trump is to humans.

I’m confused: are you saying the NCAA’s eternal witch hunt of UNLV/Tarkanian is evidence that they “hammer the big guys”? They don’t; they hammer the Cleveland States while the money-makers (Duke, UK, UNC in basketball; the entire SEC and Big 12 in football) get an occasional stern look or maybe an admonishment.

“This idea that they’re not professionals is nonsense. They’re not there like normal students and we shouldn’t pretend that they are. Some of them, yes, go to class, but most of them are students differently because they’re there for athletics and not academics.”
