Most professional athletes buy $1700 Gucci sweatshirts and spend their time pricing watches and new diamonds to put on their wrists or ears, or dropping $10k on bottle service at the club.

It more or less can’t happen. Look at how the League and the entire country acted about NFL Players saying “Hey, can you stop killing black people?”

Still, even as corny as he is, I respect the fuck out of JJ Watt for what he does from the lane he’s in.

I’m torn because this and Hinch’s comments and Anthony Rizzo’s response (and financial/emotion support) after Parkland are all welcome. But man... none go far enough, right? Compared to Pop and Kerr and some others’ open comments about fucked up shit in this country, these actions and comments seem to toe a line that…

I’m a native Texan, live in Houston, and love the Texans. This will never happen as long as JJ is doing all the endorsement deals he is currently doing, especially with someone like HEB (biggest grocery chain in Texas). There are a far too many Texans for whom the Second Amendment is sacrosanct and no reasonable…

I’ve often thought Watt to be a self-promoting mug, but his heart is in the right place given what he’s done for Hurricane Harvey and now the victims at Santa Fe. Good for him.

But if he (and A.J. Hinch) want to take the next step in making a difference, I might suggest that they hold some $500/plate fundraising…

JJ Watt is a good football man. I hope he also starts talking some real shit about guns in this country.

Dana Loesch- how much do you want to bet she jogs around her gated community in camouflage workout gear?

Imagine living in a world where a professional athlete doesn’t have to put up money to pay for the funerals of children who were slaughtered for the crime of going to school.

yes yes but what did you think of her dress chris

I’ll defend the guy on one point you made. You do realize that baseball is played during the spring and summer right? Evening game or not the sun was almost certainly out on the way to the game. I don’t blame anyone for bringing their sunglasses in with them, evening game or not.

Now if he was wearing his sunglasses…

Glove? Check.

Yeah. “Fair ball. That was a fair ball.”

Is she saying “that was fair”?

They should only have one entrance/exit, and it should be controlled by armed guards to prevent anyone from entering or leaving without authorization. They should also eliminate windows, since those could be used as an access point. And perhaps the students should be able to earn “credits” at some kind of “commissary”…

In a world of bad hot takes, this might be one of the dumbest.

The dickhole lieutenant governor of Texas seems to think that the problem is schools having too many exits/entrances.

We’ve demonstrated to our children collectively that we don’t really value their lives. They understand it better than we do.

Maybe corny, but I had the same instinct. She is deeply in shock and I hate that they even interviewed her.

In August Trump will tout how there have been no school shootings in over two months.

I wish I could just hug this kid right now.
