I thought this article was the thing I enjoyed most about today, and it’s still up there. But this comment is exactly how I feel. People have always been (mostly) dumb, mean, and parochial — now they just have more bad information to confirm their bad ideas about the world.

This is a terrifying thing. Every day it seems they pretend a little less. Normalizing this insanity by degrees. I’d like to call it un-American, but...

But didn’t ESPN suspend and then fire Curt Schilling for being a racist and anti-LGBT ignoramus on Twitter and Facebook? I appreciate that these are objectively worse and far different than what Jemele Hill chose to do — she called the president what he is - but equally, Jemele wasn’t actually punished for what she…

In her own writings, she makes it a point to call herself both, for whatever it’s worth. She’s written this about herself:

Right now, there’s no way to know if Watson is better than Hoyer; all we know about Watson is that he looks promising. Hoyer’s a good backup and a mediocre starter, but in a…

Not confused about the article. Just not sure I agree with the conclusion. That being said, I respect your opinion and your points are good. I guess I am just not sure I think there are any major sports whose governing bodies are showing any sort of respect for Black suffering. I respect the efforts the players are…

Got no confusion as to why people are boycotting - my question is whether that’s something that will accomplish anything other than hurting the players over the long term - particularly when it just mirrors the shit that Trump is saying too.

I don’t see how Bill Russell’s decision to kneel in solidarity with NFL players is a reason not to watch the NFL - my interpretation is that this is a show of support for the message rather than a call to boycott the league. The NFL is a league comprised primarily of Black players who are engaging in a clear political…
