I sympathize with the spirit of your point, but It is more complicated than this. By your logic, Latinos and Blacks do not work as hard and have a culture that inhibits academic performance. So, its all meritocracy then.

“Sparks outrage” .... so tired of that headline. It has lost meaning

Why do you waste time on stories like this. I honestly dont see whats important or remotely interesting (same with the Francesa or whatever 911 hunt). Deadspin has so many peaks and valleys. An old voicemail...j christ

Goddamn Nolan can be such a beautiful boxing writer

Oh my the spelling and grammar....sorry I am sleepy and on my phone

Thats a dissappointing and simplistic definition born from pirivilege.

And yet, 2 things 1) showing tits (however artistic) is not the kind of empowering move that , for example, people of color would aim for as a step towards egalitarianism. You have to be protected by a cocktail of whiteness, westerness, money etc for this to somehow free of gender dynamics 2) its not free of gender…

Explain please. I am not disgreeing. I just dont have the head to parse this out right now (long day). Yet it bothers me. My only reaction is that this kind of individualistic approach to power is very Western and thus reifies something...help me please

There is zero anti semitism in what that commenter said. He merely pointed out that the admin is focusing on this amidst all else because its more politically convenient rather than genuine. It doesnt bother you that Trump made a show of this while announcing VOICE? The poster above is demanding we care about more…

Perhaps we can easily explain this: The Media and simplistic liberals believe that the problem with Trump is his language and not his policies.

Nah you got it about right. That line was so embarrassing. I cringed.

I honestly think Bobby wanted to show how he loves black people and not loves white people. Theres is no good reson to shit on ScarJo and praise Octavia for comedy. I cant think for any other reason for this post to exist.

There is nothing racist about this joke. Maybe not funny, but get a grip. Its a comedy show. You should expect this. Seriously, whats with the title? Whats racist about it?

I think for once we are allowed to say “they keep it real.” Big fan of the Diaz brothers. I love Conors “i dont give a fuck” persona. But Nate and Nick are next level: they dont give a fuck about not giving a fuck.

I know....its obvious enough now. I blame SNL. I was in and out as I was phone typing.

Thats fine. Bad comparison. I wrote it too quick. I take it back. I was trying to think of arrogant brash athletes who remain likable, but its unique and great as a fan. Maybe Bolt would have been better.

Great point. He fucks with the UFC, but gives fans a show, getting a kind of strange populist appeal.

Arent we touchy today. I said nkt talking politics.

Right. I am not even white. Why is why I can say Floyd is unlikable and insecure without a white liberal guilt punching at at me.

I dont know how, but he pulls it off. I root for the arrogant bastard. Maybe because underneath the image, there is a sense of an authentic person who knows he is acting. With Floyd, for instance, it always felt forced, and wanted to be liked.
