If the Lakers were offering a garbage platter of players like Ball and the Celtics could offer more in the summer, then why shouldn’t Demps wait?

“She was born a woman, has lived her life as a women, and has never opted for any hormone altering treatments to boost her testosterone.”

This is *without question* the most fair way to do this. I am flabbergasted by people thinking she is somehow getting persecuted here. If she was competing against literally everyone, of course there wouldn’t be a problem, but she’s not. She is competing in a restricted division (women’s) with hormone levels that do…

Here’s a cold take: go fuck yourself.

First he was a replacement caddy

The frightening thing is that the idea that better off people deserve to be paid more because it’s what they’re used to really is how these assholes think. 

So he basically stiffed the caddy because....he thought he could.

he didn’t read someone’s mind properly, he apologized afterwards, and this woman still saw fit to use a legitimate movement to try to ruin his reputation...for funsies, i guess?

almost all of the #metoo accusations have merit, but this was a case of hysterical overreach, and i hope most people realize that.

Blogs spun it as sexual assualt to get clicks, and most people are too stupid to think for themselves, so that’s why.

Go back and read the original story where he felt pretty awful during the date, called an Uber for her to go home at her request, and texted her immediately the next day to apologize. But since you’re on a witchhunt to crucify him and anyone that fails the “wokeness” test, those facts won’t matter.

or donate your TIME and EFFORT to metoo or timesup.

I thought he was accused of being a terrible date partner not of actual sexual misconduct. What is he apologizing for?

This sounds like a contrite, thought-out comment brought about through genuine introspection. I wonder how Woke Twitter and Jezebel will find a way to crucify him for it.

It’s always the people that actually have nothing to apologize about that apologize the best.

Counterpoint: Put other strikers on that Man City team and see how they fare in the same role. Aguero is fine, but Pep’s system (begrudgingly admitted) is what puts this team over the top.

Agree.

Paul George was also “definitely” going the Lakers until he got traded to OKC and stayed there. There’s no guarantee the same thing can’t happen here.

After this debacle, why would anyone want to play for the Pelicans?

There is very much an in-depth discussion long overdue for Black America about understanding the lives of Caribbean, European, and African Americans. Too much is lost in translation of how Blackness is defined,and often Black America is very dismissive and blind to its own xenophobia.

it’s always ‘the Intercept’ with these leftier-than-thou critiques that are exponentially more innuendo than fact. and stuff like “...the student was accused of being a ‘Bernie Bro’...” because some people saying stuff on the internet totally amounts to a formalized “accusation” made by, um, some unspecified group...
