Everything about Seattle’s move pisses me off (I’m pretty drunk though). Kaep was great because whether you agree or not, he took a stand against what he though was a real problem. Seattle just reinforced the whole “We’re all just mindless cogs who do things together” mindset. Granted, it was a Pete Carrol led team on…

So, what you’re saying is, protests aren’t allowed to grow over time.

Well, since they told us as much, yes I know.

Agreed. I was excited when Baldwin mentioned planning some sort of protest, and instead we get this, which said what, exactly? If anything, it will give ammo to Kaepernick’s detractors, who will point to this and say “See, you can make your point while still respecting the anthem!”

I’m not pithy enough to make a good joke about this, so I feel compelled to go the serious route.

Between this and Hillary Clinton earlier, let me just check in on my right-wing Uncle’s Facebook feed...

I know it seems like the Seahawks aren’t really saying anything but, like, they’re saying nothing together.

During the national anthem I was lying naked on my couch trying to eat corn chips off my chest without using my hands. I hope I didn’t offend anybody.

Hey, how about a spoiler warning? Some of us are waiting until Episode VIII to find out who Supreme Leader Snoke is!

1) That does not matter! He’s Russell Wilson! He is to only be mocked on Deadspin for his bland manufactured personality. Not PRAISED because someone wrote a mildly funny speech for him.

He dispensed medical advice, too. Wear sunscreen and drink Nanobubbles.

“If you’re dating a woman that’s way out of your league, keep her away from Golden Tate.”

If I’m the A.D. for N.C. State, Tom O’Brien is sifting through the want ads tomorrow.

Sam, I know you’re new here, but the house style guide specifically states that at no point are Russell Wilson and effusive praise to be used in relation to one another. Important to study up.

What the fuck is this bullshit, new guy? Is there no editor vetting stories on weekends making sure some post praising Russell Fucking Wilson of all people doesn’t go up? What’s next, a post praising Cardinals fans for politely cheering when an injured opposing player is able to leave the field under his own power?

Wilson worked hard on this speech. He read through a ton of Google search results to find it.
