I think the fact that it’s about power and not so much about the sex is precisely why they do it.

For many positions (most of the defense, offensive linemen/blocking tight ends/blocking backs), football is primarily about physically exerting your will over an opposing player. You win by pushing the other guys around…

That’s fucking hilarious.

HEY HEY HEY HEY.

I’ll have you know that we’ve got FOUR main varieties of barbecue sauces on offer, depending on location.

You masochist....I’m right there with you on that one. I don’t by any means want to see a repeat of the Adams-less games last year, but I can’t deny that many were a lot more engaging than those of recent past seasons.

I’m probably inured to it; Since I’ve followed the Ducks, the defense has never really been worth paying much attention to compared to the offense with all of its weapons and overwhelming speed. I don’t disagree that their defense was historically bad this year, I’m just used to seeing them make up for a not-great…

This write-up seems to place a bit more of the onus for the losses on the defense than I was expecting. I don’t disagree at all with any of the points made, but the lack of any depth whatsoever at the QB position seemed to me to be just as much of a liability as the toothless defense, especially with Adams injured for…

I don’t keep up with the Dragon Ball series, so whenever I see something about Black Goku, I immediately think of this:

That had to be Lochte.

I apologize for my brain fart. Sleep deprivation is a bitch!

I’m making inferences about OC’s intent via context clues, though, not just pulling them out of nowhere.

EDIT: Nevermind, that’s probably sarcasm.

...you’re not implying that the Right, obsessed with its own backward and violent religion best left in the Bronze Age, isn’t also anti-gay, anti-women, and anti-free thought, are you?

I think you’re missing the forest for one particular tree: Shaking hands, being a tactile form of greeting as opposed to simply verbal, is a show of mutual respect and equality. The fact that female competitors are required to engage in physical gestures of this nature, along with the need to travel independently,…

Yes, captors. Those who hold them captive. Captive as opposed to free/wild/running around wherever and not being trained/whipped/burdened by another species with its own plans for them.

I worked at a certain well-known “Dinner And Tournament” for four years, so I’ve been around them plenty. Some were nice. Others were…

To be fair, she didn’t gloss over any of the American dopers that are allowed to compete this year either. In a press conference, when asked straight-up about two Americans (Tyson Gay and another whose name I don’t remember but is competing in a relay), she said she had no choice but to respect the decision of the…

A certain Mr. Rand is going to need to speak with him about fucking with K’un Lun.

I’m not really a baseball fan, so I know I must be missing some absolutely vital bit of information, but why have you been keeping track of how many games the Cardinals lose? Forgive my ignorance, but I just don’t get it and my curiosity has gotten the better of me.

An unwilling horse? You mean like one that hasn’t been trained its entire life to comply with the demands of its captors?

The future Señora Stone and I are both in agreement that kids are simply not for us, but her mother is one of those “you’re not a complete woman until you have kids” types. It’s hard for her sometimes to think about how her stance on this huge life decision is so at odds with her mother’s repeated opinion.

It’s nice…

More importantly, do the horses give a shit about a medal if they do receive one, since awards have no meaning to them and it’s not food? And did they consent to being forced to compete for “not food” in the first place? Do they even understand the concept of international competition for four years of bragging rights?
