I coach my son's youth baseball team - age 11. I've benn watching this story unfold and have a few thoughts: first, the idea that little league doesn't want a team of African-American kids to be successful is wrong. Little league has recently loosened up its rules on eligibility and broadened the areas in cities so

Jay, you either knew Adnan or you didn't. You can't just be like "oh we weren't close" and "I only smoked with him two or three times" and then proceed to cast aspersions on his character like you know him super well. And all of this extrapolation about how Adnan wanted to kill Hae because he was

I was mostly making a joke, though I would gladly watch such a tape if someone produces it. What a weird conversation.

I get filming it. I don't get putting it on an open channel on Youtube. Why do people act like they have soooo many friends and family that if they don't put their shit on social media, people won't get to see it?

Holy Shit, sister. Get a grip.

Yes, the exact label of the asshole is whats most important here. Was his injury too much sand in his vagina?

Hoke actually recruited quite well but utterly failed to develop talent.

Much like magic: having a vagina always comes with a price.

Yet it was the lack of any skepticism by the reporter in this story, in the name of protecting Jackie, which has now ruined her life (which Jackie seemed to have felt coming, given the news that she begged Erdeley to kill the story) and profoundly damaged the ability for future victims to be taken as seriously as they

My 10th was pretty cool. We were still kids, and there wasn't a huge difference between people on the fuck up path and people on the not fuck up path. It got a little awkward at my 20th. My wife's best friend was in charge of planning it, and she has money, so a lot of shit she wanted to do was too expensive for a lot

UVA is not the only good school in VA... says a W&M alum whose dad still has not forgiven her for turning down Notre Dame.

I'm not attacking, I'm just shedding light on why others are. It's because we've heard this shit before. Even couched in qualifiers, it's upsetting. You have some doubts about the veracity of the quotes. OK. You've been heard. Now drop it and stop arguing with people who are pointing out that, firstly, they aren't as

I think people are offended that you would read this article and then think the important thing upon which to comment was what rang false - to you. It seems you missed the very important central point of the story and drove the conversation into a ditch.

It's possible the journalist took some general sentiments relayed to her by the subject and turned them into exact quotes. But dude, that's really not the issue here, and focusing on those details and saying they don't add up, even though you keep emphasizing that you aren't doubting the victim's claims, is reading as

A rape survivor was told by the campus police on my campus not to report because she had been drinking and so no one would believe her. We are currently under investigation by the DOE as well. Another girl was just raped this semester at a sorority house and it was hushed up. Even by the sorority sisters because they

I think this might be right. I had never heard these accusations until I saw them on Jezebel a year or two ago. I think people just weren't widely aware of them, but now all it takes is a quick retweet for people to at least have to acknowledge that this is something people are saying, if not to believe it.

Doesn't the Cosby era pre-date the Millennial era?

I don't know if I agree. My personal feeling is social media is stronger than any Olivia Pope machine going around and paying people off. Once social media takes hold of it, it's no longer controllable by deep pockets.

I stand by my original assessment. In fact, your response confirms it: You were being pedantic. Most of what you wrote is true, and it's still bullshit. Perhaps you don't understand the concept of a metropolitan area. Or perhaps you think that if the reference was to a different World Cup city, writing "Los

Well, I can't speak for all girls, but I can tell you my story.
