That's why no one ever picks on a tomboy or a feminine boy, because those things don't exist — because SCIENCE.

Agreed across the board. Although, one could also react how I did when I realized every article I was reading was stupid — stop going to ESPN.com.

I didn't give your initial comment enough credit... figured it was the usual "typo = idiot" kind of thing. In retrospect that was pretty clever. My bad.

You're overlooking so many societal factors that impact how someone processes information that I don't even know where to start.

This is a much more thorough version of the same point I've been making. I like it better than mine.

Best way to discourage these kinds of posts is obviously to not only read them, but to comment, so that Deadspin gets accurate feedback about how little you like them.

Yeah, the US has never been a sexist society, so there's absolutely no risk that just keeping everything the way it has been would be sexist. Holy fuck you're dumb.

Do you think there's an intelligence requirement to own a gun in the US? Seriously? I'm pretty sure we hand them out in lieu of diplomas to everyone that didn't graduate from high school.

In a country with a troubling history of racism and sexism, arguing that you just like what you grew up with often looks a lot like speaking in codes while being a racist and/or sexist. That doesn't mean it's always the case. But I fail to see what the supposed virtue is in the argument that you don't want a woman…

Maybe they build the ski lodges?

Maybe they're surprised you graduated from JH because you seem like kind of an idiot, not because you're black.

Holy shit! I'm black too. I had no idea.

That's right Tom, getting your girlfriend pregnant and abandoning her =/= bad, but talking too much while you play a kid's game is unforgivable.

You may not be understanding how the articles are listed, the dorm email article is not a recent post.

On one hand, you're right about the intersections of culture, etc. On the other, Tebow's out of the NFL faster than Ryan Leaf was. His football ability is not debatable. I wouldn't mind Gawker writing about Tebow, but after college he had no place on ESPN or Deadspin (or in the NFL).

Think of it from a political novice like Lewis' perspective. He gets bullied a little a few years ago, assumes it's politics as usual, keeps his mouth shut and maybe even doesn't derail the fitness initiative that was threatened. A few years later he finds out that Christie has a habit of this sort of thing and…

You realize not believing him at face value is equivalent to believing at face value a denial that no one is making? Why would you give more credibility to the imaginary denial than you do to Lewis? Even if Christie did get around to denying this, isn't someone with a history of doing things like this less credible…

Just keep explaining other people's jokes, I'm sure more will keep piling in.

A) By including it in their sports publication, I'd argue that SI implicitly accepts racing as a sport.
