The timing is odd on this piece since it was published here one day into the convention with no mention of the facts that: in many of the protests the cops and reporters outnumbered the protesters, cops and protesters were seen sharing water and hugging each other, there was exactly zero violence at any rallies, and…

So, you abhor violence, but if it can be used to take out lawful Americans…then good?

I'm not a psychologist, but part of me just can't help thinking this goes back to your school district.

The Browns winning 8 games would be like the Cavs coming back from 30-1 instead of 3-1.

Apparently, yes.

The sick thing is this almost guarantees that nobody will- because if he's out for the whole year, the suspension falls off.

Whenever any event occurs in this country that people celebrate with complete sincerity, there's going to be a small element who feels the need to remind us that they are above it…it's the absolute height of insecurity.

Not gonna lie to ya…

I think what it's telling is that PEOPLE FUCKING LIKE FOOTBALL!

That is your opinion and I would humbly suggest it's in the minority.

Their choice. God bless them for it.

Why is the celebration of human achievement a "parasitic opiate"? Because what the great artists and composers did with their brushes and instruments, LeBron James does with his body and a ball. Frankly, it's arrogant that you look down on one's ability to enjoy and appreciate that.

HAHA!

Well, you didn't need to beat around the bush there, pal.

Wait, huffpo and thinkprogress come down on the no-public-sports buildings side of the argument? Shocking…

That's in no way unique to sports. It's ridiculous to bring up here as a defense to this bad online behavior.

"All the hard data" does not, in fact, show that local governments get screwed by sports teams.

The use of the word "sportsball" itself has a negative connotation.

Damn good article. Thank you.

So, we know they watch HGTV in prison and we can assume that once in a while Soso gets her shot at the TV…every other show has some stupid hashtag at the bottom. Why wouldn't she know what they are?
