Nah, it will be like the House probe; they’ll have Devin Nunes investigate how news of the settlements was leaked in the first place.

Wait, didn’t they already know a bout the harassment? They must have heard about them already if they paid $13 million to the accusers. Or maybe they just write checks to anyone who asks for them, no questions asked.

Scuttlebutt is that it had nothing to do with Vegas or casinos. The owners were afraid it might cut into the profits of Jerry Richardson’s proposed Mandingo Fighting League.

No kidding. Using a route to possibly reduce profound and life long brain injury/chronic pain as a bargaining chip is unconscionable. It’s about control and not the welfare of their money makers.

And I think the owners and GMs are being hypocritical with all the beer and Alcohol sponsors they take money from besides all the painkillers they seem to want to ply on the players.

Cannabis (or rather CBD and THC) is neuroprotective. There have been multiple serious studies done on its efficacy. It can reduce long term TBI effects and reduce pain. I would think the NFL would be all over this given the connection between multiple impact/TBI and eventual CTE/ALS. They’d be reducing their payouts…

$1,000/month for six months to $70,000 a year plus bonuses? Power never gives voluntarily; you have to fight for it, every damn time. Solidarity.

Thanks to the writers here who’ve covered this story, and to Deadspin for keeping women’s hockey visible here on the site. (That’s sincere, not sarcasm!)

Trump’s approval rating is approaching the percentage of fuckwits in America. They may only be a percentage or two apart, but I doubt his approval will drop below, say 33%. Those idiots love that he lies all the time, love that he’s destroying America, and love love love being assholes just like him.

Bless your heart.

This is just a badly veiled attempt to punish urban centers, where the majority of voters don’t support Trump or the GOP. That, plus a good heap of racism. Hitler did it with Berlin when he first took power, and Trump is doing that with major US cities, including DC (a sanctuary city).

Immigration policy already focuses extremely strongly on the ones committing crimes. Virtually every crime outside of disorderly conduct and simple trespassing can get even green-card holders deported. If you’ve been here legally for forty years, and you get caught smoking a joint in public, you can be deported. Same…

The fourteenth amendment should make it irrelevant if somebody is a minority. Your response makes it abundantly clear you believe minorities do not, in fact, receive equal protection under the law. Based on your question, I can only assume you’re okay with this as long as you’re not in the minority, to which I say,…

As a side note, I checked your posting history, and am not the slightest bit surprised to see you’re a brand-new poster whose first post is today, and the majority of your posts have been anti-immigrant or making fun of people for being pro-immigrant.

Ok, two things:

The rule of law has been temporarily suspended because the party in charge won’t enforce it on itself.

This is all part and parcel with Session’s virulent opposition to nonwhite-immigration. He has been unabashed about his desire to return the United States to the era of the national quota systems, where immigration was tightly restricted to only northern and western Europe. He also is a strong pusher of the…

The “rule of law” does not apply to Republican politicians in America.

People aren’t paid just by how much money they generate, but by how valuable they are to their employers. If USA Hockey wants to continue winning medals, it’s gonna cost them more.

Actually it’s the “Department of Phrenology.”
