That’s entirely your prerogative. I think where a lot of the disconnect here is, and I’m not sure that this is your intent, but your wording comes off as condemning others and their choice of lifestyle because of your personal experiences.

Consent is meaningless unless it can be withdrawn at any time.

> Perhaps the fact that the people registering the trademark are members of the group the slur would disparage, which wouldn’t apply to Snyder’s lily white ass?

I understand and appreciate the reasoning, but it doesn’t mean that the Washington moniker is no longer or never was racist. It’s still racist, and it’s going to be racist tomorrow.

He was good, friendly, affable, generous man. With a family. A small daughter. Who tortured and killed animals to entertain a mob.

Near as I can tell, about 1000 people attempt it and 500 succeed every year. Over 100 people have died on Mount Everest since 2006, including 6 this year. That is a around 10% mortality rate among all people who try. Maybe K2 is harder, but I think you and I have a different definition of “novelty.”

I see what you’re saying and I’ve watched the documentaries on Netflix regarding what a shit show it’s become.

Fuck ESPN. Clayton is great - a knowledgeable yet common man with the ability to laugh at himself.

As far as I can tell, the Phillies (much like my Reds) are still a mess by design at the moment. The Mariners fancied themselves a contender for their division, which makes the mess sad.

As a fan of movies, everyone cheering the impending death of physical media while championing streaming as the way of the future while simultaneously taking away movies from the available pool of culture - I only see that as a bad thing.

This thread makes me sad. :/

He’s never been IN the black either.

Aw, does valid criticism of your racist moron offend you, snowflake? There, there. We know there’s nothing more delicate than the fee-fees of conservatives.
