There’s a statistic going around that the Assault rifle ban reduced gun violence? or gun deaths? by like, 43% iirc. So under the category of “nothing’s possible until the dissolution of the US”, reenacting the previous ban would be significant improvement.

I hope someone fucks your children in the ass and makes them choke on nigger dicks

I don’t feel like all these choices are real, but George Gun gets my vote. VIETNAM, MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!! (in Principal Lewis’s [from fam. guy] voice)

Exactly - “my racist assumption that welfare is synonymous with minorities is proof that distinguishing between Atlanta/Georgia was done in good faith!”

Now this is the part where you would rise up and say, “But the league’s never been more fun, it’s never been more 365-a-year, it’s never been more egalitarian and cashtastic,” and you would be right. But your argument would be beside the point because the central truth of all human development is in play here, namely…

This sounds good in theory, but where’s the line between sports and politics?

Does it mean Woj’s sources are primarily agents, or does it simply mean that at this time the verifiers happen to be agents? It seems weird to me that teams aren’t verifying they signed x or y player, especially for the…

Stephens: Next come the accusations of racism...

Counterpoint: Jordan doesn’t actually follow basketball; he knows there’s a spending floor and meets it on like, whomever.

There’s always the possibility that this could all go sideways and implode

The two of them together, though, is going to be beautiful (intra-team shade).
