Go home, Goose.
I stopped watching the NBA a few years ago due to the wretched officiating. I don't strictly boycott it or anything, so every once in a while I'll keep the channel on a game for a few minutes if it's interesting enough, but the inconsistency of the officiating turned me from a guy who used to watch 200+ games a year…
It was posed to the Internet. Welcome to 2016.
“Indian” became unacceptable in academic circles because of its geographical incorrectness. A *very* small percentage of indigenous peoples consider the term offensive, as they would consider every single term used to define or categorize them that is not their tribal name (it's impossible to make everyone happy all…
What you’re good with doesn’t really matter. The term “Native American” is not accepted by indigenous people.
YES! Finally, someone who actually realizes that the term “Native American” is actually commonly found to be offensive by natives themselves. Holy cow, I can't believe I actually found someone on the Gawker network who has a clue about life.
“Native Americans" is actually an offensive term to many. Congratulations.
FYI, the term "Native American" is actually offensive to a lot of people.
I think it’s funny that in this whole debate, most people who are outraged about the term “Redskins” use the term “Native American,” which actually has a very high rate of being regarded as offensive, especially compared to other accepted terms like “Indian,” which those same PC outraged people think is non-PC.
Ignoran…
It’s not even slightly the same thing. Why? Because "Indian" is not an offensive term.
“Native American” is not a proper term. Inform yourself.
FWIW, “Native American” is not an accepted term either, yet it’s most commonly thrown around by people trying to be PC when they have no clue what they’re saying. I deal with tribes often, and they simply never refer to themselves as “Native American.” It’s always Indian, American Indian, Native, indigenous, or their…
There’s nothing offensive about the term “Indian,” though. Chief Wahoo, sure, but “Indian” is not an offensive word.
I work with Native tribes due to my job, and I create and deal with a lot of formal publications on the tribes' behalf. They refer to themselves as "Indian" often. Other terms that are frequently used…
Because women have bigger brains than men and less testosterone.

I’m a keeper too.
By "beautiful" do you actually mean "unsportsmanlike, selfish, and repulsive?" Because that's what this play is.
You are incredibly dense. Have a good life.
Marcus has a PER of 12.7 and a WS/48 of 0.091. How is that a “revelation?”
Those numbers are almost spot on for his career averages. He's not good, and neither is his brother.
Markieff playing to his abilities should be considered an impossibility, at this point. He has been in the league since 2012. He has had his chances, and outside of one pretty decent season in Phoenix (18.4 PER, 0.143 WS/48, and still his only season that was statistically better than an average NBA player by both…
In no state of the Union does an infraction (the least severe level of criminality) merit “criminal” (I am assuming that by “criminal” you mean “permanent record and the possibility of jail and/or prison time”) punishment. That’s the whole point of criminal classification. It’s to tell the courts how to deal with the…
So, I guess I left pettiness off the list of reasons for complaining about the pool. That would be the other possible cause. Pettiness (being a fan of a division rival and deciding you have to hate everything about them just because they’re there) or jealousy.
Does it NEED to be there? No. Ballparks have been doing…
