Yes, he put up big numbers at QB for Penn State. But so did Christian Hackenberg.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is nuts, but this is a statistically nonexistent situation. Planes are affected by weather far more than trains.

I love that I know the joke without even hitting play.

Manchester United was just a stepping stone for Jose Mourinho’s inevitable third run as Chelsea manager.

Would the referee had stopped play had there not been even a little bit of embellishment? Also no.

Yeah? So? Normally I’m not one to defend sportscasters, as they are a blight on those of us who come for the sports and not the commentary, but Deadspin calling someone out for wanting anything both ways is the kettle being called black by a collapsed star. Your own writers are on a crusade to confront the NFL on its…

Yeah, except for LeBron all but putting out a full page advert demanding that AD get traded to the Lakers. Seriously, I don’t think i’ve ever seen a more obvious and arrogant case of tampering in my life

I’m very, very sympathetic to the trans community and quite frankly I don’t think it matters what gender you were born for things like marriage or military service or anything like that. However, the problem here is unique precisely because this is a sport that is segregated by sex (biology, not sociology mind you). A…

There’s a reason sports are divided by sex. That’s really the crux of this whole thing, and no matter where the line is drawn, it will not be “fair” for everyone.

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…

As ever in these articles, it seems relevant to mention that Semenya has testes.

You know, a really big asparagus salad would put an end to the debate once and for all...
