If hockey truly wants to grow beyond it’s niche status (and is serious about safety), they would get rid of this. It isn’t even that hard - just eject the participants and suspend repeat/egregious offenders, like every other sport. You do this in baseball, football, or basketball and you get more than 5 minutes of…

Context does matter, but you are picking and choosing what context matters to you. As it stands, white people wearing dark makeup to appear black is the continuation of a practice tied to the mocking of black people, and often enslaved Africans, in the US. That’s the context for this. More context for this, which a…

Just...just wear the clothes. We know who it is, the costume’s good and fine on its own, there’s no need to Blackface it up. Jesus, why is this so hard?

Yeah just don’t do that. 

When you’re right, you’re right. Opiate addiction is an individual, personal moral failing. Nothing more, nothing less. Good point!

You sound jealous.

hahahahahahahahaha, oh, look at you.  Just look at you.

Ease up there Sugar Plum

He also just won a big golf tournament.

You know what was awesome about Paul Pierce? Kevin Garnett.

I’m not sure this is the lesson, my man!

Anna, I have been a HUGE fan of your long form reporting for years now and I just want to tell you how pumped I am about this book. Congrats! Can’t wait to read it. 

I liked the trio of Hobbs, Matchett, and Diffey.  Great group!

This is why, the older I’ve gotten, the more I try to avoid confrontational situations with strangers. Even when what the other person does couldn’t be more inappropriate and assholish.

I recommend asking a woman, ideally one you know closely and will tell you the truth, why many don’t directly confront harassers.

It’s not like there aren’t preachers in the US right now who advocate killing homosexuals or sending them all to an island. Most of society labels them nutjobs, but they are out there. And let’s remember, we currently have a vice president who supports conversion therapy which is essentially a form of torture. I’m…

Yeah, I’m not sure that young LGBTQ folx in the US should be “grateful they don’t live in Brunei”. That’s a super weird way of making sure people can’t push for change. Water sucks in Flint? Have you BEEN to Sudan? We compare our situation to what it ought to be, not to what it was before. Would you tell someone black…
