But Carowinds manages!

I live in an area that does not have any pro teams (South Carolina)

People who define themselves as gamers, by and large, tend to be. Or at least there’s a higher, more vocal percentage of terrible people among them than among the general population. Though a lot of that has to do with the age-range most “gamers” fall under. Get together any group of 13- to 25-year-old men and you’re…

So much straw man hyperbole. So little actual logic. People can criticize things they like. In fact, that’s how the majority of in-depth criticism works. Professional movie critics don’t become critics because they hate movies. They become critics because they love them. If you’re so thin-skinned that you can’t handle…

Agreed.

Dad? Is that you?

Nice. Reminds me of an old Kids in the Hall sketch.

I think Smirnoff Ice was the first alcohol I actually enjoyed after being introduced to beer and deciding it was not for me. I’m of the firm belief that men should be able to drink fruity, delicious alcohol without being mocked. What’s unmanly about drinking stuff that tastes good? No one gives me crap when I have a…

Damn. I was hoping to at least make it a day before my Facebook was deluged with angry Breitbart and Allen West posts about how the Warriors players are hypocrites because they signed tennis shoes in China or like a rapper who says “bitch” a lot or whatever.

So you’re saying I should patent carbonated whiskey before someone beats me to it?

You buried the lede. Danny Amendola can run 70 mph?!

That’s a reasonable take.

I’m not being a snob. I just don’t like the taste of beer, fancy microbrew or otherwise. Though I did just call bourbon a grown-up drink, so I can’t say that your reading of my comment is unfair.

Beer is gross. Bourbon, on the other hand, is delicious. Why can’t we all celebrate with a grown-up beverage?

I think they could have won with 85% of Durant, but I don’t think they would have cruised. Who would you consider 85% of Durant? Somebody like Giannis? A healthy Blake Griffin?

1) There’s a huge difference between the regular season and the playoffs.

So you think the Warriors would have just cruised to victory with Harrison Barnes in there instead of Durant? I strongly disagree based on the way LeBron played.

I hope you have a pleasant weekend as well.

Because we’ve begun to realize as a culture how toxic those stereotypes are.

You know that’s up to you, right? No one is forcing you and other fans to declare him a bad competitor. You have power over your own perceptions. Durant’s legacy is not even close to being set in stone.
