You see the numbers next to the stars, right?

First of all, I'm talking about your entire commenting history, made up entirely of "that's not funny" admonishments, not just this one. This just may not be the place for you. Maybe it is, but you should try to make a comment about a story instead of some variation of "that's not funny, try again," every single…

"Like, you're forced to?"

Considering that your entire comment history is just telling people what isn't funny, maybe you could mix in something that is just to show the rest of us how we should be doing it? Or, maybe, just maybe, reading comments just isn't for you. Maybe you'd spare yourself some misery if you avoided it. Either way, only…

That makes sense. From an outsider's point of view (albeit one with a industrial and labor relations degree, but I don't work in labor), it's always seemed like the biggest problem unions have is that leadership can stay in power more easily by "rallying the troops" (i.e. being overly adversarial) because it plays…

"The students are not barred from making a living; they have the option to play (Selling their skills) or go out and accept a full time job elsewhere if receiving a full ride for playing sports is not up to their standards. "

If you ask a random sample of, say, 20 Americans over age 18, "What's the process to make GMOs and what's the mechanism by which they affect the human body?", I'm willing to bet only about 2 of them would get even close to the truth.

If you aren't worried that there won't be cost effective GMO options left for you, I'm really not sure what you're concern is at all. If that one snippet seems out of context, it's also the point you make here:

You didn't say that labeling would lead to too few GMOs for your taste?

If a business says they can't tell me what's in something because I wouldn't buy it if they did, I want that fucking label.

But, if the fact that there were modifications cannot be disclosed, how do you ever get to the part where they do disclose which modification? Seems you're acknowledging that knowing if specific modifications that might relate to your specific allergies should be disclosed, but how would that be done if the…

So your justification is pure paternalism. Getting past the you know best for everyone point, you're just making the same arguments people made about the FDA when it was first legislated into existence (and that are made about any form or regulation ever... yet we keep regulating and businesses keep getting bigger…

I liked PTI and ATH until I realized they are to blame for replacing highlights with debate (which somehow morphed into all Skip Bayless all the time). They think we want to know the two different sides of every issue (there are only ever two), so that we can pick one and stand by it in our inevitable workplace,…

So what most people don't realize (we actually do) is something that you're not really sure of either. That's helpful.

Right. That's why the only players in the NFL that can't be cut are the injured ones. Oh, wait, I guess you're totally fucking wrong.

The idea behind options is that you trade them for cash at some point. The employee discounts or anything else you're talking about are almost never worth as much as the salary. And, I'm definitely not aware of an industry where you only get paid in employee discounts.

It's absolutely a store credit for the university. Thanks for generating millions, here's a few grand a month in "education" and a hundred bucks for the book store. How isn't it the same as company scripp, store credit or a gift card?

I agree with everything you're saying except the nowhere else part... interns get fucked like this too.

You clearly were not paid with an education for the "privelage" of playing college sports. Most revenue sport athletes are forced to prioritize the sport over education — your half-witted arguments and poor grammar and spelling are a great example of this. You weren't paid in much of an education, so maybe you…

As long as the NFL and NBA drop their age limits for athletes, this is a reasonable point. But, right now people are barred from making a living and aren't given any options other than the scholarship. It's a forced apprenticeship. You can't rely on the argument that they've agreed to that compensation while…
