Its a fun breakdown, but it isn’t even necessary. Think ESPN would have a say about losing UNC as part of its media contract? The NC Legislature can SAY all they want that UNC or NC State would ‘have to leave the conference’, but these conferences have tons of safeguards in place to protect themselves, especially…

These fucking morons love the free market until it goes the tiniest bit against them, then it’s time for big gubment.

But seriously, do these morons grasp the difference between the ACC and the NCAA? What about the concept of leverage, and their utter lack of it in this situation? Notions like “cause and effect” and “consequences” are clearly beyond their feeble grasps.

NC is seriously the worst. I moved here from Ohio. I regret it every day. I’d rather freeze my ass off 9 months out of the year in Cleveland than live in this racist shithole any longer.

The “Free market” doesn’t apply to Republicans when it prevents them from carrying out their policies of hatred and oppression.

NC Republicans, remind me again of this free market thing you claim to hold oh so dear

This man is mentally impaired. It is painfully obvious to the world, and terribly dangerous to us all but nobody in Congress is saying it. What is the process for removal due to mental deterioration? The GOP were happy to do what they wanted under Reagan while he had Alzheimer’s and his wife was scheduling vital…

I had a similar conversation with my wife about American made vehicles the other day. Great vehicles.

As a child of the eighties, I first saw President Reagan as a boot, highly polished and pushing down on my neck. It was such an ugly foot, clunky. Such casual hate and all I wanted was to do a few lines! But there was another foot, not formidable, maybe a little...frail, also stepping on my neck. It was Nancy. She…

I saw the Pulitzer nods and my first thought upon seeing Peggy Norman awarded was “I wonder what HamNo thinks?”

Alternatively, in 2017 David Fahrenthold of the Washington Post won the Pulitzer Prize, “For persistent reporting that created a model for transparent journalism in political campaign coverage while casting doubt on Donald Trump’s assertions of generosity toward charities” and the New York Times won, “For…

In 1973 the Washington Post won a Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of Watergate.

Actually, that’s what she really looks like.

“Violently resisting “The Man””?????

Rookie mistake. If you think Forced Sodomy Air is just about the sodomy, then you haven’t met the new Forced Sodomy Air.

They’d offered everyone the option of $400, later increased to $800, a new ticket, and a hotel room for the night. That nobody thought this was enough should have been taken as a hint, rather than as some sort of act of war.

I’d say that people might boycott United, but for some reason people are insane about saving as much money as possible on airfare that it won’t really matter. I don’t fly American Airlines as a rule, because I felt like I was being punished for something every time I had in the past, but most people look at two…

Surely* you’ve already seen this, but the comments below Gizmodo’s coverage of this incident are similarly flabbergasting and demoralizing. To paraphrase many, “The corporation can do what it wants because its policies say it can” and “These are cops, so you have no legal protection. Comply or get your head smashed…
