Except that there are plenty of athletes who’s skill level is nowhere near that of the top competitors. Look at figure skating, cross country, even the well-celebrated bobsled teams from African countries. The IOC wants these folks there because they hope it will boost revenueparticipation in these countries, but they…

Agreed strongly on the Super Mario Odyssey for a 3 year old. My 3 year old showed interest in video games only to the extent that she wanted me to shoot more things in Destiny until I played SMO. She will bounce off cars all day with that thing. It also taught her that not everything in existence is accomplished via…

Not to mention ESPN violating its own editorial standards when running this article. In theory, Deadspin should be ALL OVER ESPN again failing Big J-school.

Publishing a kids name that hasn’t been charged is unethical. What is wrong with you people?

Mike Valenti? —-No, I’m just fuckin’ with you.

Nah man. I’m pretty sure it’s Eminem!

I was really surprised they weren’t trying to blame him for it, since he the go-to scapegoat back in the day. It was always his fault, yet here were are 15-20 years later, and it’s still happening. And kids sure as hell aren’t listening to Manson, since he’s something their parents would be listening to.

Yep, we all knew this was coming.

...there was a local church group that held a candlelight vigil outside of the stadium when Manson came to play in my area back when I was in high school.

All that did was drive more people to go to the concert, oddly enough.

Listen, both can be true. Did ESPN attempt to capitalize on a period of extremely negative (and very warranted) bad press involving Nassar by releasing this report during his sentencing? Yes clearly. Does MSU potentially have a culture problem in relation to sexual abuse? It does look that way. Did ESPN attempt to…

So we’re just going to start naming people who haven’t been charged, based on an anonymous source, and act like this is normal or is “journalism” worth celebrating? Awesome.

I’m an economic refugee of CA from 2007. I can conclusivley say: fuck the cold and the flat.

Not unlike how Trump is a poor person’s idea of what a rich person should look like.

Shapiro is a stupid person’s idea of what a smart person should sound like.

Good on you for standing up for the limp dick victim blamers of the world, for they are the true victims.

Haha, look at you: drowning in a puddle of your own bloody piss, but trying to convince yourself you’re swimming.

Listen, if every young person had to answer for the mistakes they made as the leader of a shitty vanity project band when they were almost thirty, people would never stop apologizing!

I was going to suggest removing 50% of revenue sharing from the 7 teams with the worst records and giving it to the other 7 teams that didn’t make the playoffs, but I like your idea better.

I wish there was some rule that a team that picked in the top 3 or top 5 couldn’t do so again the following year. Or a team with the #1 pick one year couldn’t get it again for another 2 or 3 years.

There’s been a long-circulating proposal to counter tanking in the NHL that would give the first draft position to the team with the most wins after they’ve been eliminated from playoff contention. While this still favours the absolute worst teams (because they’re eliminated earlier and therefore have more games to…
