This statement is so weird. I mean isn’t the point of this merger that they do actually “believe” in sports news as TV programming, they just want to piggy back off of SI instead of making the investments in house? Also, maybe not the best way to explain your business model- we don’t believe in news. Um....ok, Fox…

Actually FIBA could institute it’s own regulations. For example in soccer FIFA established that countries had to use their U23 teams with three roster slots allowed for players over 23.

Not correct — it was a federation by federation decision. Wrestling is still amateur only and boxing was only changed this year.

I think the OP is referring to death by incompetence. Not terrorism.

Ehhhhh, I mean all the photos are from the event they’re covering — the nomination — and Hillary Clinton wasn’t there. So kinda hard to get a photo of her. The USA Today one looks terrible.

You actually sound like the right kind of feminist, the kind that backs people regardless of their gender and doesn’t give their support behind gender lines exclusively.

Second to this. Our good friend got royally screwed by his child’s mom and is renting a room from his sister because he has to pay so much in child support. Which means he doesn’t have a good place for his child to visit him. And so it goes.... So yeah, call me a bad feminist too, but sometimes the dads really do get…

I know we all think that decision is the shittiest thing ever, but I know a family friend who is paying child support for six children (kept trying until they had a girl ... and no love for one another).

Okay...?

Hot Take incoming: Going off of the list of sports LeBron could excel at from yesterday’s Fun Bag I’m prepared to say that Lebron could have stopped that Messi free kick.

I wouldn’t call Deadspin a blog, but rather a reblogger of Kinja Deals.

Confetti guy still MVP.

Yes, because the rules of football are so straightforward.

What is arcane about this rule?

Looks like the torn jacket bro was one on about five. Justifiable reaction in the heat of the moment.

“17 of the 16 contestants went to the N.I.H.”

Someone got stabbed in some other city so Philly fans aren’t terrible. Got it.

What’s wrong with the proposition that a “shitty job in shitty conditions in better than no job at all”? It’s true.

Phew, thank god. my personal code of honor requires that I had to watch the games against my will until I got permission to stop from a random stranger on the Internet.

Love watching women’s soccer, can get into televised softball and gymnastics, enjoys watching women who are world class athletes like Williams sisters, but women’s basketball is a TV nightmare. HOT TAEK I know...
