The worst part is that Alex Trebeck is Canadian. He probably knows more about American football than they do. Which, oddly enough, is typical of so many emigres who live here for a while.

I wouldn’t expect someone from Bruges or Maranello to know about American football. But someone from the United States who was born and raised here? Yes, I would. It would be like someone from Brighton or the Umber not knowing about Arsenal and Manchester City.

That’s the Redskins for you.

I always try to root for the Black quarterback. But Teddy can’t even play in a semi-pro league, much less either the NFL or CFL.

And yet Cousins still finished just outside of the top 10 quarterbacks in the league. Which means he’s talented and, despite the lack of support, makes others around him good. The issue is that he’s not Aaron Rodgers. But at some point, even Rodgers will fall into mediocrity, both because of age and surrounding…

This situation is like the rules about why Black people can call other Black people the n-word and White people can’t, and why Jews can call each other certain names and no one else can’t. A family is a tribe and in all tribes, people within it can call each other out in ways not allowed to those outside it.

The problem is that Trump and the Republicans don’t just want the wall (which is an easy exchange politically). They also want to end the ability of immigrants to sponsor families for migration and impose other restrictions that would keep refugees from coming to the country. The DACA negotiations set the stage for…

Of course, Geddert is retiring. It isn’t just the suspension. Chances are that his gym has lost a lot of gymnasts since the Nasser revelations — and will lose more after the suspension.

No one asks because men know not to even ask for that leave time when it is available (and outside of FMLA, the availability of paid paternity leave is always an “if”.) Based on my experience as well as that of some friends of mine who have been through similar situations, you never use the leave time, especially if…

Who, among us, hasn’t wanted to nut in some woman’s eye. Preferably the side piece, and after affirmative consent. Of course.

I’ll play for a second: I think any parent who names their child Bitsy Kelley deserves even more shame. Bitsy? Really?

That’s a reason. Another is because gymnastics is a sport people think only deserves attention every four years when the Olympics rolls around. Every other time? No one cares. Which means that the physical and emotional health and safety of the youth in the sport is of no concern at all at any time.

Agreed. These incidents will be reported more-quickly once it is made clear that enabling will be more-greatly penalized than committing the crimes themselves. The few criminals and abusers persist because of the many who are incentivized to do nothing.

The gymnastics program doesn’t bring in much money. But until the Nasser scandal, it brought in prestige, especially in its connections to the USOC. Universities love prestige almost as much as money; after all, it is why they worry about those U.S. News & World Report ratings.

This is partly true. But without laws in place — including incentives for reporting and penalties for not reporting — even supposedly decent people will do nothing. This is a lesson from history that bears repeating and remembering.

There are many schools without strong athletic departments that do just fine. Most of the universities within the State University of New York system, for example.

Yes.

You aren’t even worthy of being hit by a monkey’s feces.

I won’t say all dudes don’t need help. Black people aren’t represented in racing, either, and it would be nice to have a scholarship targeting promising Black racers. There are plenty of them, and not just doing street racing. A lot of Black guys race in the back woods of the Carolinas.

Well, race car drivers are like everyone who does jobs people dream about: They are passionate about the job, but they keep that passion in perspective because at the end of the day, they are doing a job.
