Yeaaaa I don’t think too many 6'8" black NBA players are big into hitting the slopes. To quote Tosh, “What’s it cost to go skiing? 900 bucks A DAY? Oh I can’t believe it’s not more popular in the inner cities.”

He said after November.

The NBA is positioned in large markets that lack other sports franchises, which allows them to monopolize local sports entertainment dollars. The top 5 markets with NBA / without MLB are Portland, Orlando, San Antonio, Sacramento, and Charlotte (average population of 2.4 million). The top 5 with MLB / without NBA are…

As an OKC resident, let me note a few things here:

Despite being located a huge metro area, the Atlanta Hawks have always struggled to draw fans, even when good

I don’t think that makes things more complex. That does simplify things to an extent. This means that third foot down is a catch. This means that putting the ball in the crook of your arm or pulled into your body, it is a catch. Dez Bryant’s catch is now a catch for both of those reasons.

Fuck off already mate. Leave the football talk to somewhere elsewhere - i.e not Deadspin.

Counterpoint: Euro 2016 has been awesome, and a 0-0 draw can be entertaining if you know enough about the sport.

God, you are insufferable. I honestly think Deadspin only keeps you on to troll soccer fans. Now STFU and go beat off to Arsenal 03-04 highlights.

One of the better Euros we have had in recent years...what were you watching?

I know you're just kidding, but is there a worse fit for the Warriors style of play than a ball dominant SG that can't shoot threes?

What was to stop people from taking taxis to stadiums in the 100+ years before Uber existed?
