Okay, what’s the meaningful difference? On Hamilton’s logic, it’s newsworthy if I, the reporter, decide it’s newsworthy. And as evinced by the OP, there is clearly a segment of the public that wants to know the information. Finally, how can we know that Hamilton is not hiding anything relevant to his work unless we…

Just reading the language of the statute, I’m unclear how you’d argue that his actions were intended to expose the protesters to hatred, contempt, or ridicule in a manner that would unlawfully intimidate them from exercising their rights. Does not seem like the facts as known support that.

The law is facially constitutional, and the application of the law in this case would likely be unconstitutional.

Don’t forget Bob Miller. Those three were my childhood. It was pretty awesome.

I kinda feel sorry for whomever is doing the color commentary on that clip: it’s basically the perfect example of how being bad at your job is magnified when directly juxtaposed with greatness.

But your proclivity for going on a run every Friday morning does not inform the probability of you going swimming on Wednesday.

Sorry, how is her willingness to engage in sexual activity with Rose in any way relevant to whether she consented to engage in sexual activity with two other men? You’re defining probative value in a manner that would then support any past sexual activity being relevant to the question of whether any future sexual…

To counter, it’s not necessarily probative as to whether she consented to group sex, and it’s highly prejudicial. Also, the standard for civil trials is less liberal, since the probative/prejudical balancing test is flipped. Compare 403 with 412(b)(2).

Sanctions can be serious if warranted, including suspension from practice or even disbarrment. Doubt it woudl reach that far, but they’re not an accepted part of doing business, like a coach picking up a 20k fine for complaining about the refs.

When he veers off-course into social issues, it is more complicated. But as I do not regulary watch any of Bayless’s shows (my viewership of him mostly comes from excerpts, clips, etc.) I can’t speak with enough knowledge about how he handles those issues.

Of course not, and I’ll be first in line to say that most of what Bayless says is contrived to elicit the most over of reactions. But so are lots of forms of entertainment. Maybe it just doesn’t bother me because there were plenty who came before him and plenty who will come after him and our society is still…

Well, ironically, your thoughts on the matter now mean that I don’t care about your thoughts on my thoughts.

That would be worse if the truth about what happened wasn’t more complicated.

I’ll say it. I respect the hell out of Skip Bayless. (Most the time at least.) Because what are we hating? The fact that for a couple hours a day he yells about sports for an audience who takes what he says way too seriously? (Again, with exceptions.) It’s sports! And although I realize that eloquent arguments can be…

I think Bumgarner is the baseball equivalent of Kevin Garnett when it comes to altercations. Hold me back!

If I were on the Giants, I’d be chapped at Bumgarner for instigating this situation and then bailing on batting himself, leaving me to wonder when I’m going to wear one in the small of my back.

A phpope-commissioned poll found that 100% of respondents think Sheldon Adelson is a stain of a human being.

If the claim is that Yaya should be held responsible for the opinion of his agent because there is a principal-agent relationship between them, then why shouldn’t we hold Pep to account for the actions of his principal - i.e. the Man City owners? My first comment saying “responsible for” was too broad and ignored the…

Should we then hold Pep responsible for the human rights violations of those who employ him?
