Well it’s a known rule at that school.

I always find these types of dress codes to be oddly confusing. If you’re saying “exposed shoulders” are not allowed at school, how exactly do you justify the vast majority of sports uniforms, such as wrestling, volleyball, basketball, swimming, etc?

Well, maybe an apology for doing something isn’t the best time to make an absolute statement (literal or not) about never doing exactly that thing? It’s an attempt to avoid responsibility, and it diminishes the sincerity of his apology.

I’m not interpreting it as absolute. The word “never” makes it an absolute statement. That’s what an absolute statement is.

There’s no other way than literally to interpret the phrase, “I never use that word.” That’s an absolute statement, and it’s absolutely false.

There’s nothing “holier than thou” about pointing out insincerity when it’s glaringly obvious.

Yes, because one is a true statement and the other is a demonstrable lie.

Would you feel better if he said “it’s a word I use very infrequent”? Does that change how you feel about his apology?

Your first sentence makes absolutely no sense and you seem to use “radical” in an extremely loose sense.

It’s difficult to follow your “sentences” but I don’t think this is in anyway a “liberal” issue.

It shouldn’t come as a big surprise that people resort to offensive slurs when their emotions get the best of them. I don’t know whether or not he uses it daily in his life (and it appears he doesn’t), but I hear people use gay slurs (or racial slurs) to describe an extremely wide range of things (most of which are in…

With all these snowflakes, how can Climate Change possibly be real!?!?

There are plenty of folks that almost never swear, but the first thing they do when they stub their toe is scream “fuck” or “shit”, so I think it’s a bit of a stretch to say that because he used it in the heat of a professional baseball game that he uses the slur frequently.

This may be the ONLY place in the world where white guys “all look alike” and black guys are easily distinguished from one another. Hilarious

The Celtics seemed overly worried about giving up wide open threes to the collection of shooters the Cavs put on the perimeter. I definitely understand that strategy in terms of 3 vs 2 points, but the fact that they didn’t pivot away from that strategy after the first half somewhat amazed me.

Heck of a false equivalence

Isn’t this slide the entire reason the rule exists? I fail to see how you argue this slide is safe for the defensive player, but sure please continue to argue that sliding completely past the bag is the “correct” baseball play.

Lebron just beat the best regular season team in history. I’m not sure Ainge can trade his way past Lebron....

I like that you preemptively tell me that if I do exactly as you say and cite sources, you’ll simply dismiss them out of hand. That means it’s easy to dismiss what you have to say, too.

Asking Comey to do the same thing to Trump (investigate) as he did to Hillary is not really “flipping” as much as it is asking for him to treat the two equally (which he has not done).
