Rose may have done something disgusting here but the headline is a bit misleading. He didn’t know what the word consent meant. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t know what the concept of consent is. Seems more a knock on his vocabulary skills.

Or just being realistic. Everyone is rooting her on in this crusade against some dumb dress code at some dumb job. But it probably will piss off her employer and limited her future with the company (not fired but not getting a promotion). And now potential future employers will just Google her name and decide she’s…

The Big Boss Man would be proud.

Went through it with a cousin. The guy who was essentially pimping her out lured her in through a Church group. She was having problems at home, he acted like a savior for her, then proceeded to get her hooked on drugs and pimp her out for money.

Defending a pimp because you agree with his other political views is pretty pathetic.

She literally links to a thesis that advocates for legalizing the possession of child pornography. It’s not a lie or slander, it’s actually something she wrote and is proud to link to.

If only she worked for Conde Nast.

Did anyone actually read her essay? I know you’re trying to out-progressive one another but she doesn’t think possession of child pornography should be a crime. That’s a pretty bold stance to take when working for a company that sells products to children.

Being in a relationship with someone is a bit different from violently raping someone.

Her hatred toward blacks was so strong she decided to get into a sexual relationship with one.

Kevin from The Office is a Giants fan, who knew?

The placement on the homepage sucked (it’s where 538 is current placed). The TV ads were short lived and terrible. And his Grantland show was given a terrible timeslot on ESPN 2. Heck, when he finally nabbed a great guest for it in Kobe they put it on up against the Academy Awards on ESPN 2. It got an initial surge of…

If you don’t want to get blindsided, have your editors under contract. Can’t leave them with no job security and cry when they find job security elsewhere.

Feels more like a PR battle between Simmons and ESPN. ESPN is getting torched on social media for closing Grantland so they are likely leaking out stories that it was really Simmons fault for which is ridiculous.

At-will employment works both ways. Not sure how they can blame the editors for the “coordinated exits”. If losing 4 editors at the same time had such a negative impact on the site, you’d think they would be smart enough to put them under contract and not leave themselves open to the risk.

It didn’t have a firehose pointed at it though. You had to scroll down quite a bit on ESPN’s newly designed site to find a link to Grantland. I can’t find instances of their Twitter/Facebook feed promoting Grantland articles. Their writers rarely appeared on ESPN shows. ESPN is capable of turning on the firehose (like…

How did it not work with Simmons? The site that everyone seems sad about closing is the one he built.

This is a company that uses Jon Barry and Stephen A Smith for NBA analysis. You think they care about quality?

It came on the heels of reports that Kane’s DNA was not found in her genital area. So maybe the Mother thought that she could cast doubt on the rape kit by making it seem like it was tampered with?

This is great advice. I feel better when I exhaust myself physically. I’m trying to hit 15,000 steps a day on Fitbit and in the evening when I’m watching TV, I try to pound out 45 minutes on the stationary bike. It can be tough to be physically active when you’re dealing with anxiety but forcing myself to do it always…
