why don’t some of the employees that won millions help chip in?

Chicago Police Department showing their priorities tonight. They set up barricades to prevent people from flooding Clark and Addison. But the mostly privileged and white fans of Wrigleyville tore down any barricades and ignored police orders. And they stand there and watch.

No part of that seems egotistical or just plain dumb to you?

That’s cool, Colin. So, what do you plan to do about it? Kneel during the national anthem? Thanks, that’ll save lives.

You may want to discuss blood pressure medication with your primary care physician, lest you suffer acute medical distress in situations such as these.

A continued thank-you to Deadspin for being the only publication of any size and repute to be publishing regular information about a major sexual assault trial involving a former NBA MVP.

The part of the electorate that is reading a Bernie Sanders article on deadspin already knows this and likely already does vote...even in midterms. We need to find a way to engage those who are not politically active or are turned off or apathetic to politics.

God, I love the responses to this post. Don’t listen to the reactionary posts of the people trying to convince themselves that the coward vote was the right one - Sanders polled ridiculously well against Trump and would have obliterated him without the need for the self-destruction gift that will probably get Clinton…

The bright side to this is that Sanders (and others of his ilk, hopefully) can and will see that they need to be far more mobilized and organized earlier on for future endeavors; Hillary was FAR better at playing the game than Bernie, and there are lessons to learn from that.

What we gotta do now is wait til the election is over, find these people, tag their ears, and notify the general public that those who are tagged are not to be trusted as teachers,…

The Packers have neither a majority owner nor minority ones.

Sadly, he had no idea what to do when he reached third base

But that requires thoughtfulness and integrity.

I do not watch the NFL, but I will gleefully read every article about how fucked up and stupid the NFL is.*

BLM: “Some police are assholes.”

What CK stands to lose doesn’t matter. He’s using his platform to get a message out in a non violent way.

My Facebook-posting uncle is gonna hate this if he ever starts watching soccer... or women’s sports... or if he ever starts caring about the plight of anyone outside his demographic.

It’s worse than that. I think the cops are trying to say “Look at what we deal with every day, aren’t we heroes? Don’t you feel bad for us?” They are using a child’s circumstance to elevate themselves, that is highly cynical.

THEY ARE stupid. They talk about these protests as “disrespecting the military” when attempted censorship of free speech IS disrespecting the military. Free speech applies to all types of speech, even speech one may personally disagree with.
