The level of disconnect is amazing. Dude, you’re being shamed because your behavior was shameful. You are the cause of your reputation being damaged.

I love that this reads like “Had I known that my boss had the power to FIRE ME for my misconduct”

In general, this cultural moment of misdeeds being made public by the internet is fascinating. From police departments (hello video phones), to candidates no longer being able to speak differently behind closed doors (Romney), to academia.

“Choudhry filed a letter of grievance last week, which argues that comments by Berkeley President Janet Napolitano have left his public reputation in tatters.”

$150M is small potatoes in the big picture. His estate is worth far more than that, given music rights, etc. I would expect it to go up many, many, many times in value over the years (see Elvis, MJ and more).

Is she filing for his assets, as TMZ claimed, or is she filing to get a lawyer on this stat so it doesn’t become a circus? Since there’s no will and she named all his siblings plus “potential” heirs, it doesn’t seem like she’s trying to do anything shady...

Fair enough. I will agree with most of that. I should probably rephrase that the ceiling for these events are only as big as their biggest star. Surely they’ll pull great numbers at 200. That in part is due to UFC’s tenure as the big show, their great roster, and reputation to put on a great events. But the ceiling of…

Yeah...I feel like this one the way I feel about any battle between a NFL player and the team’s owner. The athlete is being paid (well) to destroy his body and will have to make ends meet once he’s forced out of the league at an age when most people are just starting their careers. Meanwhile the owner is a billionaire…

The.Fuck.It.Doesn’t.

I’m of the opinion that Conor McGregor is a self-aggrandizing prick. A good fighter, hell - possibly a great fighter, but a self-aggrandizing prick nonetheless.

That being said, I wholly support him roasting Dana White’s nuts over a can of media fueled sterno.

Dana White, and by extension, the UFC is terrible to it’s…

The setting absolutely does matter. This is specifically a social setting. I have never been in any social setting where a group was asked to SOLELY because of the group’s volume. Groups are ALWAYS going to be loud. It is the very nature of groups. Most people understand this. Only selfish assholes expect groups in a…

Wait.... this was A WINE TRAIN?!?!?!?!?!? This was a train specifically for people touring wineries and drinking wine? Why in the fuck WOULDN’T you expect groups of people to be louder than normal, giddy, even possibly obnoxious? People who were there state that another group behaving in exactly the same way, wasn’t…

Nope. The very idea of a wine train implies jovial, fairly uninhibited (but law-abiding) people. The solution is to better advertise what a wine train is going to reasonably look, sound, and smell like (respectively, full, loud, and wine-y with an oak-y finish or whatever plus a couple hefty doses of body odor and…

The company, the eyewitnesses, and the people in question all say that the employee handled it was inappropriate. The women in question weren’t so loud and aggressive that they deserved the treatment by the employee.

Don’t sit in the comfort of your own home. Don’t look nonblack authority figures in the eye. But don’t look away either! That’s very suspicious. Don’t go to Walmart. Don’t pick your children up from school. Don’t give people directions. Don’t run into a cop—he may have decided to plant drugs on someone that day and…

So if you’re black:

Something quite similar occurred last week with my daughter’s classmates. About a dozen children at her school got to go on a 5 day trip to New York after winning a math quiz. Among those dozen were two lovely and brilliant twins who just so happened to be Muslim. As the flight was about to take off, they were…

I would wager the coaches, athletic director, athletics staff and everyone down to the reporters covering the game are not getting paid with education, but cash.

Come on, it’s not like the term “student-athlete” was devised simply to deprive college athletes of the benefits of paid employees.
