I'd hardly call it "arbitrary." Men are bigger, stronger, and faster than women by a sizable difference once puberty works its misogynistic magic. I acknowledge that there may be a freakishly good female player who could play baseball against men here and there, but, even at the varsity high school level, 99.5%+ of…

Those ads just pop up based on your browser history, though. When I go to that same article, I just get, e.g., Amazon.com ads - even if I refresh a dozen times.

But those ads are targeted, like Google ads. When I go to that article, I just get ads for things I've searched for recently or sites I've used recently, like Amazon.

I'd be interested to see where professional wrestling ("sports entertainment") would show up on this list.

I think they'll do it, it will be sweet, and we'll all love it.

Best guess: They'll have a minor character who is an actual robin (or robin-like bird creature) who plays a small but important role in the story - and probably has a terrific sense of humor.

I work non-stop for socialist causes.

This. I hate this fucking racist country so much.

I'm glad so many progressive writers are beginning to take notice of pro wrestling (or, people who were fans as kids just happen to grow up to be progressive writers). Professional wrestling is exactly what it looks like: Unashamedly capitalistic, and therefore deeply flawed.

Women have pitched in MLB?

People shouldn't take either of the sites seriously. Problem solved.

DTA!

The "winning" scenario is:

I agree - anyone who wants to keep this name is an uncivil (not to mention racist!) non-adult who believes in ludicrous arguments.

Indeed - the world in which people who dare express "wrong" opinions (whether those views are held by 80% or 8% or 0.8% of the public) lose their jobs and live in the shadows is a utopia. Here's hoping our country fully achieves that reality as quickly as possible.

Offending people is never justified. Damn these assholes. Especially that fucking muppet Joe Theismann.

We should always defer to the offended. No-brainer.

Snyder is bad, admittedly, but what the Red Sox do is even worse in my book. Not only do they have common ownership ties to many of the outlets in Boston, but they also use those same outlets to bash players who leave town via the tried and true "anonymous sources" method. As terrible as the Redskins are sometimes,…

"Nincompoop" is an underutilized word that fits Wise perfectly. Bravo.

I wouldn't call it a "dumb" bit. It sounded like Piniella to me, and it was at least convincing enough to fool a fancy Deadspin writer.
