He sounds great. When is his confirmation hearing?

Maybe? I’ve got THC in my system and I can assure you I’m not high.

To be sure, this is the wettest winter in a decade, and unless you’re right by the coast (where the fog may not burn off at all the entire day) it’s pretty much nine straight months of sunshine. That can mess with your head if you’ve recently come from a place with somewhat more variable weather, like Unitas did.…

Thanks. I suppose I’ve been trained by the US military for every “operation” to have a Highly Symbolic & Deeply Motivational name.

Him and Conor Friedsdorf are like the kings of the “liberal” thought, the “actually, maybe it’s not racism/sexism” and “you guys are protesting the wrong way” crowd.

Legit tho, fuck Jonathan Chait. This was the weirdest TwitRant I’ve seen an adult make in a while. I hope he chokes on his self-importance.

I wonder why Jon Chait didn’t get that same sense of welcoming from his women friends.

The problem is that Black people don’t have some sort of radar that alerts them whenever Black people they don’t follow are elected to an All Star game in a sport they don’t care about. I mean, if an American makes it on a Premier League team, it is luck if I hear about it, and never going to change how much EPL I…

You’re suggesting Trump’s campaign wasn’t a troll job?

The NHL would be trying to add them to the roster just to drum up interest.....as part of an all-star game whose purpose is to itself to drum up interest. Even if everything the guy said is true, I think it would be a good thing.

I felt the exact same way in the 1980's when the NBA kept selecting Larry Bird and John Stockton to the all star team every year in an obvious attempt to market the league’s white players.

Apparently last year’s game was the most American; a mediocre white player was elected as MVP.

My angry thoughts were that the ignorant white woman was given the lede, unchallenged, and that most of the people quoted seem like they don’t know their history. As soon as someone says something about how feminist infighting “hurts the cause,” I know to stop listening.

When I was growing up, we called a comment like yours a “Higgins,” because I grew up with a guy named Higgins who had a habit of repeating someone else’s joke with different words, making it a worse joke.

I think you misunderstand me slightly. I think that the parties on the receiving end had every right to be offended by this comment. It was using a massive stereotype, while in a position of power, to disregard an opinion. Everything is situational. In this context, this was not an appropriate comment, just like…

Go away, dumbass. You don’t get “bona fides” to insult people by fucking someone else entirely.

It’s full on over-the-line sexist, though, so maybe we don’t need to equivocate over it being inappropriate?

He said black women are angry and argumentative.

How is calling another person angry and argumentative “self-deprecating”?

As would be expected of any meeting of a group of diehard fans and a team executive, this one got slightly contentious
