excuse him...

I’m sure that a bot would have better soccer insight than your typical Gawker writer. I heard that there is computer that can distinguish a bicycle kick from one that isn’t.

The Muslim sources are devided concerning a slave who is impregnated by her master: according to some, he either has to set her free, or, according to others, he cannot sell her. Birth control helps the enslavers avoid upgrading the slave’s status to free/unsellable.

You’re right. Popovich was very critical of Blatt’s firing, and it’s clear that he and Lebron are not a good fit.

Yeah, but the malfunctions tend to happen in lesser leagues, where regulations are not always maintained to the highest degree.

This Israeli second devision soccer, very different than your NFL.

No matter how much I know that it’s pronounced “less-ter” my brain always goes “lie-cess-ter” or even worse “lie-castor”.

“effect” is also a verb, but it is being misused in the article above.

There has definitely been some intervention, but it was minimal, especially when compared to what preceded Obama’s administration.

Except that it is. Obama’s America has pretty much been non-interventionist. Bush may have started this mess, but Obama has failed in damage control. The Middle East (and Europe) are suffering as a result.

Everyone is a little bit racist, as the song says. What’s important is not being a hypocrite about it or in general.

You find that racist? Yet you allowed the following comment to get more than 100 stars?

There is no single word. You have to say “person of color from China who is not actually a person of color, person of color”

All good points. Don’t bother. This is faux deadspin outrage. If they really cared about racism, then they wouldn’t allow their top thread here to be one long racist pun.

In certain cases it might be. However not when referring to an actual person from China. This is just stupid faux gawker outrage, which is exposed by the fact that the top thread here is filled with racist puns about Asians.

Not to mention relative obscurity when they are off the field.

...an apostrophe after James would’ve made me calmer.

The original character was created by a white person.

Well, you’re also paying for the brain dammage which NFL players suffer more of than soccer players. In that regard, it would make sense that football would be more expensive to watch than soccer.

Pizza is an extension of Italian culture. Only Italians are allowed to bake pizzas?
