The reason people are turning to business CEOs is because people are stupid sheep who will screw themselves tomorrow just to feel good about sticking it to someone else today.

Whenever I hear someone say this or that government agency should be “run more like a business”, I shake my head at their complete ignorance of how government and business work. Fuck it, forget about large, complex organizations: these people don’t know how other humans work.

As the father of a female soccer player, I think your are sadly correct: the US dominates women’s soccer because the traditional dominant nations don’t care about women’s soccer. If England, Italy, Brazil, Argentina put anywhere near the money and effort into their women’s programs as they do their men’s, I doubt…

You mistake Her Scheisse’s income inequality argument. He’s not saying income inequality is causing shitty soccer, he’s saying income inequality causes soccer to be played only by the haves, not by the have-nots. I don’t believe the majority of non-Canadian CONCACAF teams are made up of rich kids.

Would love to hear reaction form Kennesaw State alums on this. Don’t you think this just reinforces Georgia’s image as a standard bearer for all things anti-civil rights? Why would multi-national companies with internationally diverse workforces want to do business in your state, when your institutions of government…

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…
