Gonna go out on a limb and suggest that if the subject of the joke just laughed and moved on, maybe the rest of us should too.

This post is about how discrimination is bad for the economy. In 2016, the left is anti-discrimination, and the right is pro-discrimination.

Bingo-bango. Every time HamNo or Paul Krugman waxes poetic about union wages in the 50's, they conveniently ignore the part of the bargaining power that came from the unions’ own role in artificially restricting the labor supply to white men.

For a group so fond the idea of American economic muscle, extreme right-wingers have oddly little to say about the economic downside of our nation’s “golden age,” when only white men were allowed to have the good jobs.

Not for long.

Rolling Stone (kind of) owned up to their mistake.

Good. Fuck those people.

“Most likely” should have been a huge red flag for Romano’s editors.

They have drafted and developed exactly three players who have played a seasons’ worth of NHL games in the last six years. (2011 draft to now). 

Since both those teams have been to the Stanley Cup Finals in this century, which the Capitals have not, and Carolina even won a Cup in 2006... yes, better to be them.

Yes, much better to be a team like the Hurricanes or the Sabres, which haven’t been able to make the playoffs often enough to ruin their combined 49-41 record over the same span.

He saw a pro sports team owner talking about the business side of things let instinct kick in. Reading comprehension is for print journalists (sometimes)

raising banners for “regular season points”

It’s worse than that, since Ted clearly wasn’t talking about the teams being financially handicapped, but instead speaking in the context of profitability and business competition. Nowhere in the article is the guy with a top-10 NHL payroll trying to pretend he can’t financially compete. Burnenko is just so…

He owns the arena, but the city government still owns the land it’s built on under a long-term lease. It’s a pretty reasonable arrangement as far as sports venues go, but one can empathize with the guy when so many other teams get sweetheart deals.

It makes no sense because Burnenko is willfully misreading the man’s comments.

The arena helped revitalize that neighborhood because Abe Pollin paid the construction costs instead of forcing the city to do it.

Did we read the same article? Because I’m pretty sure the guy who has never hesitated to throw money at a problem with either of his teams is not trying to excuse disappointing results with cries of poverty, but is instead talking about competing for business/profitability with teams that have more favorable venue…

Yea—the Deadpool score was not remotely memorable. I could not care less about this news.
