I can’t speak for all Nats fans, but I think if Harper had come back as a Cub or a Padre or a Dodger he would have gotten mostly cheers and maybe a few boos.

wow!

Phillies fans were the same way about Jayson Werth and I never really understood it. In both cases players followed the money and their current teams weren’t willing to match, how you can fault them. I think I get the Harper hate a little more though because he was the home grown chosen one that was supposed to be the…

You might not have noticed, but sports fans are kinda dumb.

What is it about fan psychology where it makes sense to Nationals fans that they should mercilessly boo and heckle Bryce Harper, but give warm, polite applause to someone like Ian Desmond when he comes back wearing a different uniform?

“Sports hate” is a thing and part of fandom; it’s totally fine to boo the guy you used to love who got a bigger check elsewhere! It just shouldn’t cross into actual hate unless you got a very Mayweather-y, Roethlisberger-y reason to do so. And definitely leave kids out of it!

Look, I don’t really care what airplane faeries do in the privacy of their own cockpit, but do they need to shove their lifestyle in my face?

Planes fly due to the Bernoulli effect. And because I know this, I was able to nail the goddamn New Yorker and their legendary fact-checkers such that they had to print this correction!

This is the right answer. Especially in this case, where the couple is likely established and doesn’t actually need anything on the registry, they’re just getting fancy shit to tart up the residence they’ve already shared for years. 

I’m going to strongly disagree with Drew on the wedding gift. If you’re in the wedding and you have to travel, then your presence (and the grand you sunk into everything) is your gift to the couple. Anyone who expects a gift after asking you to spend that much money to be a member of their wedding is an asshole and…

But now, after the SI article and this, I’m convinced that he’s not right medically.

Sadly, nobody read the TOS to see how many points they’re just leaving on the table every night.

The rule book says you get two steps, but it doesn’t say if those steps expire.  He had just banked those extra steps from earlier in the game.
