There was nothing “attempted” about it. He didn’t TRY to do what he did.

I could see something along the lines of negligence, but there will hopefully never be a day when people are charged with any huge crime for something like this in the US, and rightfully so. Accidents happen.

The US has four top-flight sports leagues that garner huge attendance numbers and news cycles already (NFL, MLB, NBA, and college football), plus dozens of other leagues in the second tier of coverage and attendance. It’s not fair to compare the US and the UK based solely on population when the UK has far fewer…

MLS is probably just going to keep expanding without ever introducing relegation because I don’t think Americans could handle actual consequences to sucking (saying this as an American).

The universe where the top 5 looks like this:

1. Jordan
2. Jabbar
3. Magic
4. Wilt
5. Duncan

There are a couple of other guys you could consider putting in ahead of LeBron that many people would consider scoffing at, but it’s actually not unreasonable, such as Shaq, David Robinson (who was even more of a statistical freak…

Barkley’s entire statement is generally very complimentary to James.

He said over and over again that James is great and the best in the world. True statements.

He also said something else that was true, and that was that James is a bit of a diva who has no room to criticize his management or his teammates when HE WAS…

Wow. Can no one see the complete double standard on both sides?

Democrats: It was wrong for Trump to ask for Obama’s papers. It was right for Obama to withhold them. It is right for Skinner to ask for Melania’s papers. It is wrong for her to withhold them.

Republicans: It was right for Trump to ask for Obama’s papers.…

How is protesting in such a way as to harm citizens “direct action?”

Wouldn’t suit be a little more direct? How about protesting the capitol? Writing a senator? Protesting at a courthouse? There are DOZENS of things I can think of that would constitute direct action that don’t involve harming the average Joe.

Q: “Do strikes routinely put human life in jeopardy...?”

A: Yes. Every single time they prevent access to vital civic services such as transportation networks.

Also, let’s not forget Uber’s tweet came AFTER the protest ended, and Lyft was serving JFK the entire time as well.

But let’s be mad at Uber, everyone!

Every single person has direct access to the “levers of power.”

You don’t have to commit crimes to get a senator’s attention.

But protesters know that they could be, yet they still do this anyway.
They’ll block the road and prevent me and my wife from getting to a hospital while she is in labor, endangering lives, without batting an eye because they’re thoughtless jerks who only care for #1.

So, you’re mad at Uber for doing their job and getting a whole bunch of otherwise stranded people home safely?

He took less than two steps quite obviously. I’m not even sure he took one whole step.

If you’re that blind, perhaps you should apply to be a ref. The NBA is always looking for guys like you.

trolling

I hate that they never call follow through fouls in the NBA. Quite often, when guys are going for layups/dunks, the player attempting to make the block takes a line that is obviously going to carry him into the shooter after the shot, but it seems like the refs have decided that once the ball is out of your hand, you…

...here come the Hinkie apologists

“It was all worth it, see?!”

No. No it wasn’t. You have a 22-year-old rookie you probably won’t be able to re-sign and a 17-27 record. When the Sixers finally get out of this mess, it will be because of the immense improbability of being able to remain inept forever in a cyclical…

If LeBron wants his scrubs to pick up the slack, then he needs to find his way off the court more often. He’s never going to get rest if he doesn’t take it. His guys are never going to get better if he’s always taking up 20% of the lineup.

I know he’s way better than any replacement, but 45 minutes (he’s had 40+…

They are all dopers. Not just the Jamaicans. All of them.

The fact that everyone has been willing to overlook the former goings-on of Bolt’s “trainer” is one of the most infuriating things to me about track and field and the once-every-four-years fans who can’t get enough Usain.

These guys aren’t clean. If you don’t…

That’s cute. A Democrat berating others for their unique interests driving their political agenda.

That is the basis of the Democratic party in America. The slogan.

And I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that, but it’s just funny that HamNo is giving this union a hard time for selling out when that is exactly…

These two teams are very exciting bad teams. There are some teams that are just plain bad and absolutely no fun. Neither of these teams could be described that way.

Devin Booker is the real deal. That kid is going to be a perennial all-star, and I think he’s the one who finally brings the Suns back to being a…
