Who’d have thought this would be the Hill ESPN chose to die on

Jemele has a right to her personal opinions, but not to publicly share them on a platform that implies that she was in any way speaking on behalf of ESPN.

Not to be snarky, but isn’t that how this works? For decades, the Far Right has chipped away at the public good, forcing Democrats to edge closer to center (and into the shallow Right) to stay viable. Perhaps Medicare-for-all isn’t a winner this go-around, but it’ll get a lot of public support, making funding…

YES! Another guy all the basic chicks can say is their “boyfriend.” We needed one more of those guys. It was dark times there for a while.

I want the Yankees to file a complaint about NESN next. Not for cheating, but for having the worst accents on TV.

I’m not campaigning for Kaepernick to get a job, as I have no horse whatsoever in that race. I am, however, interested in poking fun at the absolute tidal wave of pushback that comes whenever it is suggested that NFL teams are staying away from him because of his politics, and not because of his play. Obviously it’s…

Everything.

Beckeisha with the cheap hair.

Right the comment section is already filling up with burner trolls.

I haven’t seen an owner act this entitled toward a player since Marge Schott.

This is some really thorough reporting to drop at 8am.
Deadspin Up All Night indeed.

It’s not supporting slavery, it’s just honoring history.

What the fuck do you think “the job” is if you think the ACA is good?

Michael - I haven’t read this yet but thank god because I really needed a hot take because today sucks and I just need something to laugh at and you never let me down.

She’s not wrong. Is Caitlyn that wed to tax cuts that she’s going to keep supporting a group that has made it clear that they don’t want her support?

There is no “Draft” to dodge. Except the NFL Draft. And these fools got drafted by the Browns. The BROWNS. It’s like the Afghanistan of NFL teams.

As editor in chief of Splinter, I must state that Splinter does not endorse Hamilton Nolan’s views about the eclipse. I do, however, support him emotionally.

Not really. If you read and watch the interviews of the organizers, it was about organizing and showing that they had numbers and could put aside their petty differences. The statue protest was simply cover for this.

Why the fuck does her friend think she’d profit from the sex-tape too?
