According to Clover Hope’s interview with Emily Gordon, the answer is yes. Check out Jez’s interview. Totally obnoxious.

Not sure why this is a bad thing. They got something for him and let another team develop him, who is better at developing players. Basically loaned him out, I like it.

Counterpoint: Zach Lowe said the Hawks were shopping Hardaway earlier this year for 2nd round picks because “they don’t want to pay him,” and last I checked the guy making decisions when the Knicks traded him is gone. This kind of makes sense for the Knicks (putting aside whether he turns into a key player for them or…

I actually thought the writing (it’s tone) hurt the piece. The title especially so. When you have a line like this one it’s hard to take any of it seriously:

Nuance, who has time for it?!

Yeah some alt-right motherfucker called me a “race traitor” the other day when he found out I (white lady) am engaged to an Indian man, so good to know this kind of bullshit attitude transcends political boundaries (NOT).

And spent much of the series pursuing Ann, whose ambiguous ethnic blend perfectly represents the dream of the American melting pot. 

Yeah...I sort of hate that this movie is being used as the laundry line that airs these issues. It’s an important point that deserves to be heard, but this is literally the third article I’ve read online about The Big Sick mainly discussing issues with white women/Asian men onscreen. It starts feeling like a…

Thank you. I came here to say this. People keep asking for stories about real people that are inclusive. THIS IS A FUCKING REAL STORY THAT IS INCLUSIVE. SO REAL IN FACT THAT IT FUCKING HAPPENED. Unless white women now have to either date within their race or no one is allowed to tell true stories about interracial…

THANK YOU. As a biracial woman, I am tired of people saying my parents love was invalid. That it was just serving colonialism or serving to oppress black women. If women of color really do not hold men to be the locus of their lives, then do Kumaili and Aziz really need to represent brown women on screen for them? Let…

Personally I’m tired of people attacking interracial relationships. I hated when Jill Scott did it several years ago and I hate it now. Because underneath the rant about interracial relationships is the hatred of biracial people. We get it, you don’t think we should exist.

I agree but isn’t this particular movie a true story? I don’t think it belongs quite in the same category because it was Kumail’s real life experience with his current partner and not a fictional creation. Thoughts?

“I’m being accused of homophobia. This is a charge that is hilarious to me as I used to work in a gay dance club in college.”

The implication that teams (and fans) are “giving” these players “everything” out of anything other than self-interest is particularly hilarious

I’ll never understand why people get so butthurt about an adult who has every right to take whatever job he wants doing just that.

At any point in his career prior to now did Hayward actively choose to stay in Utah? They drafted him, and then he was a restricted free agent who signed an offer sheet with another team that Utah matched.

(googles Boston Busing Riots) To be fair, those rocks being hurled at black schoolchildren WERE subtle.

Boston doesn’t burn crosses. You’re thinking of the south. Our racism is much more subtle and passive aggressive unless we’re drunk at a baseball game, thank you very much.

Today the Great Salt Lake is even saltier.

The ‘Tics? Fuck you and your dog too
