Actually, we know the questions and the answers. We’ve known them for decades. Boxing has always been a sport built on allowing the impoverished an avenue to what they perceive to be wealth and notoriety if only they will beat each other to a pulp for the entertainment of the privileged. Knowing what we know about the…

I love the descriptions of the ingredients in natural foods. Like a regular banana or an egg has tons of scary sounding “ingredients”.

Chemicals like dihydrogen monoxide, no less.

This is always what that makes me think of: https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2014-04-11

I really think her flighty, unaware diva-ish behavior is a front or perhaps a coping mechanism. She’s incredibly smart and clearly has experienced a lot of pain.

I think Mariah truly deserves her diva status and I mean that in the best way possible. My mom used to work with Mariah’s older sister and it seems like their childhood was bleak and her family (mostly siblings) tried to suck her dry once she became famous.

I really feel for this guy. He seems very sincere that he just wants to do what he feels is right for both his love of MMA and for his country.

This is a great story, the long form pieces Deadspin puts up are almost always amazing 

I lol’d quietly in my cube watching that video. The tai chi guy was clearly overmatched.

Great story. He’s like a violent Penn & Teller. I hope he and you don’t suffer too much because of this story.

Stories like this are why I keep returning to Deadspin.

“You’d better use the force field you used with that bird, you big nerd because these hands are coming hot and ready.”

“I got a pressure point for ya pal, it’s called your throat and I’m about to punch it.”

The guy is a hero for standing up for what he believes in, in the face of an oppressive government.  The fact that he beats up Tai Chi dorks is icing on the cake.

This was fascinating and illuminating. Glad Deadspin is sticking so closely to sports like this.
