I do appreciate the irony of deadspin criticizing another entity for only seeing things in polarities that brokers no nuanced middle ground.

Or, just maybe, it’s more complicated than that. A corporation has a hierarchy of interests. Supporting diversity is one of those interests, and has many root causes and many different supporters/detractors in ESPN’s offices who have a myriad of views on it. The fact that ESPN suspended Hill is not a sign that they’re…

And in this instance how should they have reacted to a call for an action that explicitly and purposefully undermined their ability to make money? Hill is proposing actions that, if followed through to any sort of logical next step, impact ESPN’s bottom line. This isn’t even complicated- Hill had to know her employer…

You don’t actually think that’s what this about it or what I said, do you? I mean, c’mon man, that is just a silly question.

I find your confusion about my confusion confusing.

Eh, I’m sure she could have debated on air the implications of Jones’ comments. There’s a difference between that and calling for actions that will directly impact ESPN’s bottom line, which is what she was actually suspended for.

“Is there any evidence that years and years and years and years of soapboxing about the NFL and ESPN’s many failings has put a dent in the viewing habits of any of Deadspin’s staff writers or editors?”

Eh, whether or not anyone there agrees with the idea is irrelevant. I’m sure there are people high up at ESPN that love the idea of increasing diversity for diversity’s sake. But it’s a corporate entity, incorporated to make money. The fact that people are continuously so outraged that corporations make decisions for…

So they didn’t change the policy about standing at all, we have no idea when they did it, and all they did was clarify what the punishment could be. But this is a big deal for some reason. Okay.

Wow...just wow. You should know that people want you to just go away.

A wise choice. It was the only reason I clicked on the link. I already have a costume, but I needed to see a larger image of that guy :)

Ummm...did anyone else immediately fall in love with that pit bull?

Exactly. I’m not sure the author understands why guys are so heavy a week before the weigh ins. Adding weight classes isn’t going to have any impact on that at all. I like the idea of doing it a few hours before the fight- fighting at that level of dehydration is pretty much a guaranteed competitive disadvantage, so…

Wow, you’re really, REALLY angry about somebody liking a different phone than you do. It’s Friday- maybe try smiling once in a while?

Agreed. I abandoned the iPhone a few years back for a Samsung and I regretted it after only a few short months. iPhones just excel at dependably accomplishing what you want from your smartphone. My sister-in-law buys a new android phone literally every six months (sometimes sooner), and she always runs into issues.…

And I’d rather watch you do it for 13 minutes than watch the clip above. This guy is the absolute worst.

Eh, everything he said has been common knowledge for a while, right? Like, every new flash-in-the-pan jeopardy champion gets interviewed and they say there are whole internet forums of people pointing out the patterns in Jeopardy questions. “Study Shakespeare and English Royalty and you’ll be fine” kind of tips. I…

This doesn’t seem very surprising. The “no haggle” policy is itself worth something to certain buyers. For people who hate the thought of negotiating, knowing that they can get a car for a particular price without having to go back and forth can be comforting. So it’s a “value” in and of itself that a dealer can fall…

So basically the Pixel XL is probably worth purchasing, but everything else is either just okay or not worth the exorbitant costs. I’m pretty disappointed with these offerings.
