(Here it would be a good time to note that the actual anti-Messi chant is "Messi Messi Messi subnormal," which, while definitely an insult, isn't quite as strong as the English "retard.")

It doesn't even matter what the civilian populations are in my view, because the enlisted men and women are employees of the American people. American tax dollars pay these people's salaries and legal funds, the incidents of sexual assault should be lower. Adding in the fact that accusers are punished at almost a…

Mike Tyson is treated the way he's treated because he's reformed himself through medical and spiritual treatment. He's actually the type of person Deadspin should rally around, seeing as he was treated like a circus tiger during his career by enablers who took advantage of his fragile mental state.

The line of thinking used in this article is incredibly dangerous, and is quite similar to the "logic" used in the public sphere against Michael Brown and Eric Garner. I'm not passing judgement on either the Brown or Winston cases because I haven't read the legal documents for either yet, but I'm pretty sure 99.999%…

What happened to the good old days, with men like Marion Mitchell Morrison in the spotlight.

Yeah it was, I linked the Wikipedia page about it in another comment thread.

Heh, small world! It's actually good to have a team that represents the school that isn't horrendous or felonious.

That's very true, at least Vince has learned to allow those under contract to not starve when not being used or injured. However, WWE wrestlers also rarely get comped for travel expenses, while being on the road 200+ days a year.

Eh, never doubt the poor decision making skills of 18 year olds.

You seem to know better than me, I go to a school where our only decent sport is wrestling.

We seem to be making 2 different arguments. The Spurs had no one go over 30 MPG, while the Heat had the Big 3 all well over, with Mario Chalmers just missing out. The main issue I saw with the Heat in the last 2 series they played last year was that their key players other than LBJ didn't have their legs under them,…

We all can agree that the only people that deserve such scorn are those who say "lolly water". Fuck those people, if they even exist.

All public colleges offer religious services of all types.

I see both sides of the issue. I'm sure the program was a sinkhole of money, but for a lot of students the prospect of going to football games is a big part of the decision making process in choosing a school. UAB seems to be more of a science and medical-based school from a quick Wikipedia inspection, so possibly the…

For many schools, good athletic programs serve as advertising to entice prospective out-of-state students to look into their schools. I know that I wouldn't have applied to Butler if it wasn't for their Final Four run a few years ago. My current school attempted to improve their basketball program for this reason, and…

Between this and the CM Punk fiasco WWE is facing, Dana White and Vince McMahon are going to need to drop the alpha-dog tendencies when it comes to their contracted athletes. Once the top guys start to complain about their payouts, the guys below them might feel comfortable coming forward.

I'm a Jordan homer, but Olajuwon was stuck in an incredibly deep Western Conference during his prime years, going against Robinson, Malone, and Mutombo in his own division. The only person that was really a challenge in the Central to Jordan during the first 3-peat was Dominique, and that would turn into an orgy of…

I'd explain the significance and storyline behind the name, but my Adderall hasn't kicked in yet.
