How hot would the takes from Deadspin be if Blatt were black and Lue were white?

“It’s true that LeBron has unprecedented organizational leverage, but the implication that he was calling for open rebellion to the active detriment of the team is sort of ridiculous for such a competitive player.”

Echo chamber, ACTIVATE!

Right?

ETA: Dammit.

All right, man, then I think we’re done here. Cheers.

Unless you’re saying everyone I listed makes average-or-better music, you didn’t address my fundamental point.

It is staggering that some of this didn’t make the actual skit. There were genuinely funny bits in this—the black chick playing with the Storm Trooper, Driver freaking out about the poster, etc.—compared to lots of meh moments they did choose to include.

Hilarious.

How far back do you want me to go? Young Thug, Future, Fetty Wap, Drake, French Montana, Tyga, Wocka Flocka, Flo-Rida, Soulja Boy, basically anything released in the last decade that isn’t in the Lamar-Fiasco-Eminem echelon, Juvenile, Ja Rule, etc.

As opposed to New Yorkers, who absolutely take Yankee/Knick criticism in stride.

If Macklemore were black, he would not have garnered any attention for this schtick.

“I think the point is that if you realize you’re benefitting from a fucked-up situation, you should actually do something about said situation, or else your pronouncements that you know the situation is fucked up mean basically nothing.”

As far as I can tell, the Venn diagram of Macklemore fans and Drake fans overlap almost completely except for a gossamer crescent of black fans who recognize good rap, but still support Drakw b/c they will (justifiably) support any semi-famous black individual since there are so few.

It’s pretty sad that these two get rosters spots and millions of dollars in the NBA while a couple D-leaguers, who would kill for the chance, are riding buses.

In LeBron’s defense, nobody, and I mean nobody, stops Luc Richard Mbah a Moute. The man is an offensive force of nature.

So Daniel, there’s this guy we call The Tossed Salad Man...you’re gonna get to know him reeeeeally well.

“The flip side of the coin is that as long as the professional sports leagues are in cahoots with the cable networks...”

This boy is not a good or compelling writer so he must resort to trolling to inspire a response.

Hey look, an intelligent argument for the rule change instead of “it hurts my favorite team/player,” followed by salty, salty tears.
