I’m a former player too and I agree. Still, I think for a relative unknown playing in a lower-tier league (even if it is Serie A it’s still an Italian league, which is not even the fifth or sixth choice for top talent), it essentially is a lifetime ban. I doubt this guy gets picked up by anyone after not playing at a…

Ahem, I think you missed the memo...

I agree with what you’re saying, but I think we should also acknowledge that it’s easier said than done. Working in such an environment can be more psychologically taxing than some people can bear, not everyone has the constitution to fight every day of their life while still being able to simply live. I’ve worked in…

That hit constituted about four penalties in rugby - definitely a red card, meaning his team would have had to play a man down for the rest of the game - and the guy would almost definitely be suspended for at least a couple weeks, possibly even up to eight.

I have one that sort of straddles the line between cool and uncool famous-person behavior; maybe others can decide:

Perhaps not, in a more perfect world. But even if substantive solutions were arrived at, I imagine that there would be some sort of strings attached that would benefit the tech people or their businesses at the expense of basic rights or prioritizing the group meant to be helped. (Facebook’s initiatives to deliver…

Thanks for the reply; honest questions here: Is it still legal if they were also paying themselves salaries? (Which they were.) Also, I am going to write off a portion of my rent this year due to having a home office, but I’m talking about one couple renting a $5,ooo/month house with like 4 bedrooms, and the other…

I’m glad you run your business honestly, but in my experience it happens. I worked for a medical cannabis company in CO from 2013-2015 - a relatively small business, annual revenues of about $4-6 million while I was there. The owners used company revenues for basically all their personal expenses. Rent, leasing cars,…

Agreed.

Canada looks like it might be following in our good old ‘Murican footsteps. Free markets and austerity for all!

Don’t know which group my little mutt would fall into, but she should win something!

Nice to see something positive result from an NFL player smashing his wife in an elevator.

I have a couple of gift exchanges with friends / family coming up during the holidays and it just occurred to me that instead of buying some junk that no one will ever use (probably made in Asia in appalling conditions anyway), perhaps people could mobilize these stupid little “white elephant” (or whatever) parties to…

What’s happening at this protest is so horrific, it’s hard to put into words.

The slime doesn’t ooze far from the slug.

I think he’s just a stupid, entitled, rich kid.

They actually do something similar in rugby. If there is a potential penalty that the ref doesn’t see (there’s only one ref and two line judges in rugby, despite 15 players a side and a more expansive field), then the replay official will radio down to the ref in the midst of the play alerting him to the possible…

I got a big kick out of this:

This has a lot of really good ones along those lines.

I’ve thought about that too. I’m also wondering why all the neo-nazi Breitbart scum aren’t turning on Bannon for working with a Jewish person. Anyway, I’ll never understand these people and just hope that they are vindictive enough to destroy each other, or at least throw things into chaos so nothing gets done.
