Being an asshole is in the eye of the beholder. If someone sees any disagreement with their worldview as the other person being an asshole, then that other person is an asshole, regardless of intent.

True enough. ;-)
Disagreement never has to mean disagreeable. :-)
Isn't that kinda already happening?
I felt this way a few years ago when Dan, Katy, Gregg, and Kris were unceremoniously let go from HitFix. And then double-that when Drew was fired.

If you don't mind reading ideas that don't conform to your own, I would say no, it's not anywhere close to a good side effect.

If the mods agree with what the person says; i.e. if they conform with Deadspin's regressive ideology, then they get approved, starred, and moved to the top.

Commenting ≠ Offense.
Oh yay, it's our daily reminder that if we want to, we can be offended about ANYTHING given we look hard enough for something by which we can be offended.
I think it sounds awesome, for sure. I'm just put off by her ridiculous virtue signaling that the other has no value or is worse. Because reasons.
As alt-history productions, I think both of these sound pretty cool.
What Mindy the writer did to Danny the character was insane, and a perfect example how to ruin a once fun and sweet television show by purposefully and stupidly committing character assassination to the show's best character.
See… and I think I'm almost always this measured. As for being hated: Can't please everyone. :-)
Much better now that what they used to be. I'm not sure if the NFL offers lifetime health benefits to players, but they should be.
It's completely logical to assume that football players, hockey players, and boxers are far more likely than non-collision sports athletes and the public at large to get CTE.
Again, it's the language. 9% doesn't mean you'll certainly get CTE. There's nothing certain about it. If it's 9%, that means you're more certain not to get it.
