Whether this is trolling or not, it speaks to what’s wrong with a sport that has to deal with the fact that, like many sports, the core of football is glorifying what would be considered physical assault off the field. But, more importantly, do so with an increasing awareness and distaste for the lingering effects…

“It’s a violent sport by nature, jackass,” he snorted as the gladiator lopped the opponent’s arm off. “If it’s not your cup of tea, don’t watch.”

I think sports exist for fun, I think fun shouldn’t maim and kill people on the reg, and I think we should do away with any sport whose core functions inevitably cause brain…

This... was not my best take.

1. Use of Helmet and Facemask. An opponent must not use his facemask or other part of his helmet against a player who is in a virtually defenseless posture-for example, (a) by forcibly hitting the defenseless player’s head, neck, or face with the helmet or facemask, regardless of whether the defensive player also uses…

I guess I’m EXTREMELY not sure how you see that as leading with the shoulder. His shoulders are squared behind his head, and the crown of his helmet impacts Adams’s face mask. That’s about as head-hunting as head-hunting gets.

It’s not about the flag. It’s about black people speaking up. It doesn’t matter what form the protests take, white people will get offended.

I personally don’t understand how any veteran could reasonably take someone kneeling for the anthem or flag as a sign of disrespect, it just doesn’t make any sense to me at all.

Tax reform is really hard to accomplish. Tax cuts on the rich is really, really easy.

Dale’s an institution in Dallas. He’s not getting run out of town.

No, I don’t think so. It is/was nice to have service recognized and respected when I returned home. Especially as I’m mindful of how poorly our Vietnam-era forebears were treated.

No, don’t be bummed. What he did was the most diplomatic and tasteful compromise I can think of.

Here’s to hoping Dale follows in the footsteps of his distant cousin Chris and pitches ABC on a sting show where he arranges to meet white supremacists and nationalists he meets online...

Watch the video. Just do it. I usually don’t either. But watch this one.

Sorry, but these things do make history books.

Athletes with a conscience speak out because people who are affected by the issue of police brutality have no voice.

Is that him in the J. Crew ad?

“At least one of their players showed proper respect for the fla- wait, what’s his name again? Oh. Yeah, deport that asshole.”

My father was a 24 year veteran of the Army during the WWII and Korea. As a kid I thought it was patriotism and he told me later when I was in my teens he joined because it was one of the only places a black man in the 1940's could get fair treatment and make a career. He wasn’t about to die for his country, he was…

I’m jealous. You’re clearly way higher than me right now.

I kneeled, but that’s because I got iced.
