Not just athletes.  There are relatively few 17 year olds in a good enough place to be making decisions like this.   

This asshat blinked maybe four times in two minutes and 20 seconds.

I’m going to sound like an ass here, but how many people does a player get to rape before he’s not allowed to play in the NBA?

Girl: Kobe raped me.

Your interpretation is kinda interesting.

That’s a good point, because if we know anything about the criminal justice system, it is that rapists are typically arrested and charged.

So, coaching a basketball team > rape?

Well, “I understand that you did not consent to sex” is kind of the definition of rape. It is what the words actually mean.

...Lakers’ discipline and ferocity. It was like the entire team was possessed by the ghost of Kobe—and maybe they were.

I really liked the Cosby Show. That was great TV, and I think we should all pay homage to Bill Cosby when we are making situation comedies about families now.

That would be logical, but in the big counties with the big cities where this matters, the Democrats greatly outweigh Republicans. If you look at Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin, Texas is more blue than California.

Harris County (Houston) is HUGE. As noted, bigger than Rhode Island and more populous than a handful of red states combined.

Man, I was getting ready to write a righteous “it is great when bad things happen to really bad people” comment after reading the headline and starting the article.

I have an unreasonable amount of love for Elizabeth Warren.

This caused an unreasonably large smile on my face for entirely too long of a time.

To Trump voters, the high death rate among black folks is a feature, not a bug.

Republicans don’t like non-white folks (or paying taxes), so they may be sick of Trump’s antics, they agree with him and will always, always vote GOP.

“The president was literally asked to denounce white supremacy, which is the equivalent of being asked to denounce candy corn”
