Players are always going to want to play especially a dude as competitive as Embiid. Sometimes the organization needs to just say “dude, not tonight” 

Wait wait wait wait wait. Did it get completely buried in this story that the opposing team stayed in the locker room for the national anthem? That makes this a completely different story, and it makes the journalistic context used here seem ridiculous. Look...like him or find him to be a gigantic orange buffoon, the…

yawn. heroism in a comment wasteland? keep projecting. i mean at least you’re keeping score of your self determined Ws and Ls, and totally aren’t a last word sounding douche lacking enough self awareness to insult a comment as seemingly clearly being too derivative and unoriginal to merit a response with your…

Your attempts to respond are as derivative and unoriginal as your attempts to be an internet hero. Maybe just admit that you didn’t understand the same joke others did, take the L, and move on. 

you’re an idiot

I think he’s going to be a one-and-done. I also think he’s not going to the NBA. 

This is a comically naive stance.

Yeah, if you’re an ex-NFL player who wasn’t a star and have any sort of injury, you’re lucky if the league even acknowledges you actually played football.

After retirement, MLB players get really good health benefits if they’ve had even a cup of coffee in the majors.

Megan makes several good points but i will never ever subscribe to the deadspin newsletter that keeps popping up

I don’t know how many replies you’re getting here, but I’m getting about half-a-dozen every minute. I hope you’ll forgive me if I skim some of them as I respond. And BTW, insults are pretty childish behavior that make me think everything else you wrote isn’t worth reading.

I’ll concede many conservatives are guilty of what you’re claiming, but all aren’t. But that nuance is lost to you. Instead, you want a simple world where anyone who doesn’t agree with you must be a monster. It leads down a path where eventually everyone but you will be a monster. Good luck with that.  

Why don’t you go out and talk to some conservatives? Ask them.
You’ll probably find that they are nothing like what you think they are like.

This website is too full of hate to have real conversations here.
Base rage and slurs gets more clicks.

The intolerance of the replies here is sad, yet hilarious. Nearly everyone of them amounts to, “anyone who disagrees with me must be evil, stupid, ignorant, or some combination.” That’s a myopic way to trudge through life. Whatever happened to the idea of honestly listening to people who disagree with you? I imagine…

While I agree with most everything you wrote Lauren, I will say I do find the ‘f’ word offensive and you could have made your points without using it. Not referring to ‘fuck’.

SHAME ON YOU! There's no reason to be sorry.

Here are your three Donald Trump proposals:

That 12th round knockdown would have killed 99% of people on the planet and Tyson didn't even seem to be too dazed. What a fight
