For anyone wondering, this is the 2016 version of “Go Back To Africa”.

Curious what everyone’s thoughts are on transgender athletes. The likelihood of this happening is slim to none but if an NBA player decided to undergo a gender change, would we be ok with them playing in the WNBA?

The real problem is that Jim Harbaugh is who we thought he was...An asshole. He just doesn’t get labeled as an asshole, the same way Belichick does, for example.

Well, I happen to think it was low-hanging but funny. Why does it matter to you, what’s funny to me? If it’s not funny to you, cool.

K.

Serious question here. How in the world can these guys afford to fly around the world and play this sport outside of the Olympics? Is there a ton of money in table tennis at the international level? Do they have full time gigs and still manage to be world class at this? Seems like it might be cost exorbitant for a…

Not quite table tennis, I know, I know!

Usually when I make a face like this, there’s one thing going on...

Must admit that I thoroughly enjoyed this response. Maybe Tongue ain’t so bad after all! Also agree that kickinthedoor’s Vox piece is probably inadvertently driving A TON of the starry response “No Black Champions” has received.

I understand your opinion. Speaking for myself here, I considered the comment clever or witty strictly because OP took a nationally recognized brand (NBC) and turned it into something that we all know it could NEVER possibly mean (No Black Champions). No reasonable person could consider NBC’s Olympic coverage as…

Fair enough. Perhaps “witty” was a better word. Either way I just don’t think OP meant it as a serious political commentary which some folks have taken it as, BUT I respect where you’re coming from chief.

Why does your opinion of clever, have to align with my opinion of clever? Why do you care? What’s funny to me may not be funny to you and vice versa.

Regardless of how long I’ve been reading Deadspin Mr. Tongue, (practically since its inception FYI), I and hundreds of others thought it was a witty comment. Which explains the 360 stars it has received as if this response. Different strokes for different folks champ.

Wow big “Fox News” crowd down here in the greys...For those wondering, it was funny because it was clever. NOT because anyone really believes NBC is racist. Get over yourselves.

Still wondering if this is a takedown or naw...

Reading this is sickening. The fact that so many law enforcement departments did everything possible to prevent the enforcement of law says so much. Not to stir shit up, but it makes me wonder why so many people find it hard to believe that “some” law enforcement agencies do everything possible to protect their own…

Looks like LeBron vs Jordan just won’t end.

I have one. First story I remember thinking “Wow, this could be important” was the Rodney King/ LA riots. I was almost 6 years old and to that point, totally oblivious to anything beyond cartoons and WWF wrestling. Had no concept of race relations or anything of the sort. I still remember sitting in my grandma’s…

I have one. Never be the guy that shoots hoops on the opposite end of the court, that fails to get off the court quickly during a fast break or lets a loose ball interfere with the game. Grounds for termination.

Oh gotcha! Thanks for the clarification, I think we just default to whichever team was on offense but your system is probably better.
