You’re in good company there. Seen that same point made and refuted on every article of this story so far.

She’s an elected official and can’t be fired.

She could make that claim no matter what happened. Me, I’m happy that she got jail time rather than a fine that would have been paid for her by other bigots.

Ironic, considering that Scalia would likely be writing the dissent in her favor should this ever get up to SCOTUS.

I bet you think tacos are sandwiches too, you America-hating commie

Goodell’s power strikes me as a lot like Kim Jong-Un’s. Absolute within his kingdom, totally illusory everywhere else; supposedly appealing to high-minded principles but actually the laughable ravings of an overgrown toddler desperately trying to deny reality.

And his wife reputedly hates him

Man, and here I thought he was just a racist, blowhard media whore, whose hypothetical (and hopefully forever so) term of office would resemble nothing so much as the worse parts of Revelations. But a CHEATER?!?

Sex videos may not seriously be considered but I’m sure they’ll be posted

This a million times. People who have good tattoos are almost universally happy to recommend their artist.

My brother-in-law was a Purdue player when he passed away. Now my father-in-law watches all of their games religiously. Those games are the saddest fucking things in my life.

In for a penny, in for a pound I guess. Probably safe to assume that he wasn’t getting out early for good behavior.

You’re fucking sick but you earned my shameful +1

Oh man, now I can’t wait for that Week 5 game where we get to see Romo’s broken back face off against Brady’s dead, soulless gaze

Pretty sure nobody expects her to change. In fact I expect to see her at Christian Right conferences for a long while, spouting the same bigoted garbage and getting paid sinfully well for it.

All those facts hurt our brains and give us a sad :(((
