My dude, I’ve never even watched sports, or until this very moment, written the word. Indeed, until I read this article, I was not aware that sports existed.
It’s strange that all of your “relationships” and the “nature of competition” examples are professional coaches bullying showing tough love to amateur players.
He’s a teacher, that’s a student. What he did is bullshit abuse of power. That’s worth critiquing.
It’s not just the political situation we’re in today; it’s a manifestation of America at its purest.
You’re right, coach. When I think “accountability,” I think Michigan State.
If a coach can’t teach or motivate his players without screaming at them, he has failed as a coach. Izzo’s a fine coach. His player would want to win the game without being screamed at.

And China. They are not a fan of gay representation.
Farewell My Concubine won the Palme d’Or at Cannes, the Chinese Government still pulled it from theaters and only put it back when there were whispers that the negative press was going to hurt their Olympic bid. Even then, the studio had to make a bunch of cuts…

My brother recently claimed, with a straight face, that Irving was

I will be e-mailing him this post every hour on the hour for the next week, and…
It’s criminal that we don’t do this.
Maybe he used a French Tickler while banging gam-gam? There was something French going on with that kind old man’s penis, that we are at least sure of.
