I respect most of your nuanced take, but to say Ovechkin hasn’t molded his game for team success is wrong.  He’s changed his game with every coaching regime and has done what was asked of him.  Caps fan saw this since the Dale Hunter days, but it seems like the national media finally picked up on it during the cup run…

Most of the internships are during the summer and the one’s during the school year count towards credits.  There are specific programs for DC internships like this.

Because you can replace Hunt with Spencer Ware who is serviceable.  There’s no replacement for Hill.

Yet they still employ Tyreek Hill who choked and punched and his pregnant girlfriend in the stomach. Running backs (as good as they may be) are more easily replaced than star wide receivers.

Players with Bell’s talent can still be very productive up to age 30.  A 3-4 contract at top dollar is still realistic.  If it was strictly based on age then rookie running backs would be supplanting established starters everywhere and Hunt isn’t on the same level as Bell.

I’d give them credit if they did the same with Tyreek Hill who choked and punched his pregnant girlfriend in the stomach.  But there’s no video of that so I guess it’s kosher.

Ah the Ravens. You mean the team that glorified a murderer and then built a statue for him after he retired?

Valid points except for Kap. McCoy has been with them since 2014. Doesn’t make sense to sign a guy who hasn’t played in 2 years and has to learn a new system with half the season left, over a guy they’ve had in-house for Gruden’s entire tenure. A lot of teams have messed up not giving Kap a chance but I really don’t…

From a purely objective standpoint: pass. I’d be fine with them bringing him in for a workout, but I don’t think coming in towards the end of the season and having to pick up a new offensive system will do either party any favors. Colt knows this offense and has been with Gruden since he came aboard. He’s proven he…

If the Democratic platform was more business-friendly and not pro-regulation, I’m sure Nike would donate just as much, if not more, to the party.  Nike is first and foremost a business.  They will support those whose policies support them regardless of ideals.  Some lost sales doesn’t compare to what they gain from…

I mean, you could’ve just googled “Corea vs Korea” and learned that it is in fact accurate.

My favorite little known fact is that Japan changed the country’s original English name “Corea” to “Korea” because “K” comes after “J” in the alphabet.

As long as the “Asians don’t like Black people” rhetoric doesn’t come out, we good.

So do you think all non-black rappers are just doing weird hip hop imitations?  Not trying to tell you how to feel, just pointing out that you’re giving off “stay in your lane” vibes, which is pretty shitty.  However, I could be wrong.  There’s a chance you know all about her personal life and know that she’s just…

Imitate or identifies with and embraces the culture? I’m sorry she’s not your stereotypical brand of Asian, but maybe it’s you with the issues and not the younger black generation.

And maybe she felt completely out of place in her neighborhood and school because she did not identify with that demographic.  Not like she specifically chose where she grew up and who went to school with her.

32 is most definitely not prime for basketball players, especially not for someone who entered the league at 18.

Definitely doesn’t make them look bad.

I also think it’s premature to say their season is over. Just gotta get hot. Of course, just getting to the postseason isn’t the goal and history has shown us that they likely won’t make any noise even if they get there. But everyone was saying the same thing about the Caps only a few months ago....

I don’t think anyone is purely anti-environment. I’m sure if you asked most people, they’d say they want clean air/water and thriving wildlife. Where it gets muddled is the topic of exactly how much we are impacting the environment and how much is natural climate change that would occur even if humans didn’t exist…
