Most reasonable baseball fans have long been frustrated with the tongue bathing Jeter gets from the media and public, and it's only gotten worse as he's taken the most self-absorbed, dickheaded exit in the history of sports. What kind of an asshole spends a whole year running around collecting gifts from teams while…

It's not a rape joke. I'm not minimizing or trying to make people laugh at rape. I'm using an abhorrent truth of the rape (the "rhythmic slapping sound" mentioned in a witness testimony) to underscore how morally awful these self-congratulatory celebrations are, and how it underscores the way this attitude enabled the…

Great argument - here's my counter: cheerleading the enablers also counts as enabling.

Holy damn these kids have fucked up priorities.

Every single time I get a piece of mail from the school asking me to contribute for various fundraising, I return it with my reasons why I choose not to. Just as I do for my Catholic high school which allowed a pedophile priest to leave the country.

Pictured: People who choose to celebrate the memory of a man who was more concerned with protecting his legacy than he was in protecting children who were being raped.

To be sanctimonious it would have to be false or hypocritical. I'm a pretty big sinner, but they're chanting for a coach who defended a guy who ass raped a bunch of little boys. So no, I'm not sanctimonious. Only the likes of Sandusky himself could pull off sanctimony toward those assholes.

Where it happened isn't germane to the point. It happened. It happened there. The people associated with it did what they did, and the community reacted as people with only fucked priorities would.

No, I'm mocking child rape ^^^ENABLERS^^^ (see above).

Look, Penn State, we know you're awful. Okay? We know. You can let us focus on Rice and Goodell for a couple days. Don't be jealous. It doesn't mean we've moved you down a peg on the list of terrible people.

I'll bet the victims, when they involuntarily replay the events of their abuse in their minds, really get a kick out of these college kids - so full of life untainted by shower rape and manipulation - chanting and cheering. Yes, indeed. Where is that glorious statue, and where are that old man's victories? Where are…

Oh my god, they dug him up.

So....basically...no lessons learned. They want to bring back the statue of the child rape apologist and protector.

They must be using a lousy microphone, because I'm watching these videos and all I can hear is a rhythmic slapping sound.

You're totally right; the way in which he has turned down most of his sponsorship opportunities, canceled the reality documentary after negative feedback, performed well in the preseason, and given one interview since being drafted by the Rams (in which he talked about how performing well in the preseason gave him…

If he was killed by Peyton Manning the night before and Manning is missing the game the next day that is on national TV, then yes.

Since when have religious types ever had any self awareness?

But it does involve a Deadspin

I'll take that under advisement, Simon. Thanks for setting me straight!

Yeah, sure, when I think "influential New Yorkers of the last 18 years" I think Billy Crystal.
