That’s pretty well covered in the statement. Any bickering beyond that is sematics.

Seems you decided your opinion of his statement before he wrote it, so why does it matter what he said at all?

If that’s what he actually said, then I’d agree.

What point do you think I was trying to make? Tell me.

I bet he wouldn’t be saying that if the Seahawks won.

“look what we did to her.”

It seems unlikely a 13 year old would have a firm enough grasp on an industry to know, with confidence, that she had to be a man to make it (especially since such assumption is false).

It’s weird how much we’re all focusing on the “sports outlets are more likely to hire male writers” aspect and not so much on the “sports outlets are more likely to hire wirters that aren’t in middle school” aspect.

Certainly doesn’t give her a pass, but the fact that it let’s her tell her side in full is a luxury we’d grant very few abusers.

I’m fine with taking the abuser’s prospective into consideration, not as a way to excuse the behaviour but to give us all a better prospective on what sort of conditions lead to abuse taking place. However, if this really were a 30-something man with his own sob story about trying to pursue his dream and getting…

On a serious note, “This Land Is Your Land” SHOULD be the anthem. And while we’re discussing up-with-America songs, “God Bless America” should be outlawed.

I’ve never heard of this guy and I thought his comment was great.

I’m more impressed by his ability to play tennis with out any legs.

This probably helps his Hall of Fame case.

Yeah, this has happened to me a few times. I never plan it out that way, though.

I honestly believe Kershaw’s humility plays a not insignificant role in #TheNarrative. He’s so driven yet soft spoken he’ll just quietly accept any criticism as legitimate and reason for him to try to be better.

Well, Kershaw just stood on the mound. He didn’t loosen up.

No way he smokes it, the very mild damaged it inflicts on the lungs would be too much to ask his body to bear.

World Series Fun Fact: this is the first AL home victory that didn’t involve racism since game 2 of the 2015 series.

Even if they wanted to talk about it MLB is probably in their ear saying “please give us a chance to address this before you say anything.”
