Holy shit, I think I sprained my eyes from rolling them so hard at this comment. If you wanted to convince me you’re a naive kid, this did it.

There are potential Title IX issues when schools look to pay players. This isn't that. It just makes it so any athlete can sell their likeness. 

“If the bill becomes law and California’s 58 NCAA schools are compelled to allow an unrestricted name, image and likeness scheme, it would erase the critical distinction between college and professional athletics and, because it gives those schools an unfair recruiting advantage, would result in them eventually being…

Fuck the NCAA.

“doing so is “unconstitutional,” “harmful,” and threatens to jeopardize the sanctity of amateur sports.”

Like seriously what the fuck kind of industry exists where talking about a workplace can lead to fucking “retribution”?

HILARIOUS that you rail about free speech in your other posts, then turn around and try to tell people to stop speaking.

“Sure, Dick Cheney got us in the war in the Middle East, and personally helped to engineer the Patriot Act and has destabilized our country for his own profit. But you know, no one talks about the charities he donates to, it’s unfair!”

The fact that they turned Pewdiepie into a meme that was referenced by mass shooters, and that hate groups support and spread…

How exactly is he being misrepresented? He did say the n-word. He did pay people to say “Death to all Jews.”  These things aren’t spin.  They’re objective facts.  

For what it’s worth, I think you can joke about anything you want, but the more sensitive your subject is, the better a comedian you need to be to find the humor without resorting to shock value or outright mean-spiritedness.

this is like your lifestyle, i guess

wait...a $60 basketball game that requires you to pay cash money to dunk?
