They are Smoothie’s homies.

No worries, I am glad to have a discussion about all this, these are things that matter a lot, especially in these times where we see a lot of the same patterns of behavior. (by the way this is a super long comment, but the part after the **** is just some good reading on the subject if you want to learn more- what…

Man, I love LeBron James. He’s a guy with virtually no formal education who has taken control of his platform to maximize his leverage at every single turn: he’s got a seat among billionaires and isn’t “feeling lucky just to be here.” I hope he becomes a gazillionaire and buys the league.

Jesus, what do you want, anyone not a linemen can’t be tackled? This is tackle football, not flag football. Seriously, injuries happen, Rodgers has missed less than 15 games in his career to injury, he has done just fine. Part of what makes these guys great is taking the hit and keep on moving. Granted a broken collar…

What high horse? Calm down. S/he’s generously saying s/he is pleased for the Bums’ success while still cheering against them as a Giants fan should.

The Dodgers batting stats. They have no better hitters right now than Puig and Turner. Weird that you’d seize on my mention of Puig. Why ever would that be?

He is on fire this postseason. Wierd that you would call someone out, but not notice that.

Look small cat, you can imagine that someone who just survived a traumatic event might react in an atypical manner and not be a total asshole about that person’s decisions in a comment section. Or you can be an asshole. Or you can be a small cat and ask me asinine questions regarding degrees because you, a small cat,…

I’m not a Tribe fan but they’re a fun team and I hope MLB forces them to ditch Wahoo ASAP because that seems to be the only way they’re getting rid of him.

It’s been the strangest thing. I was a kid during the 80s, and by the time I got my drivers license, my team had won 5 Super Bowls. NFL fan for fucking life. And when I got older, fantasy football became a not-insignificant tradition for me and my friends. The NFL had me all day Sunday, and Monday Nights were the…

Fuck the NFL, fuck Jerry Jones, fuck Pence, fuck Trump, and fuck every coward trying to pretend this protest is about anything other than systemic racism.

I love football- much of my life in the fall is covering high school and college football- but I would be content with it dropping off the face of the Earth. Too many traumatic injuries at all levels, and most of the people in charge of the highest level are absolute scum.

Highly unlikely to happen, but would love to see the entire Dallas Cowboys roster take a knee next week, just to see if Jerry Jones has any strength to his convictions and is willing to sack them all and play with scrubs.

Whoa whoa. You’re telling me that white people in charge of young black men and also profit massively from these black men’s talents would change the rules and not say anything? And then use the revised rule as a way of punishing said black men for going against the wishes of their white employers? In America?

:( But we’ve never even met.

As a non-Pats fan, let me just say: fuck ALL of you Pats fans.

Fuuuuuck yes. And that hand on the shoulder is something, too. Not as good as a kneel, but it’s a start. I hope this spreads, and spreads, and spreads.

Takeaway: There are some dumb MFers at ESPN. Seriously, one person can’t see the difference between the Lin incident (which involved an unwarranted racial slur - that might have been an accident, sure) and a label (supremacist) ostensibly based on a person’s actual past activities?

Remember, calling a white person racist (even if everything they do is racist) is the worst speech offense you can commit. Donald Trump can call Mexicans rapists, he can tell people that only Jews should count money, he can be sued for racial discrimination against black people, and he’ll still be elected president.
