Fans don’t understand free agency because the money that could’ve been spent on educating them and giving them critical thinking skills was spent on building arenas for their favorite teams instead.

Agree...I love the “this is the team that drafted him” argument...you mean the team that paid him peanuts on an indentured contract he had no choice to sign? Like he’d have gone to fucking OKC if he’d been a free agent after leaving college.

Indeed. These debates really bring out people’s pro-management bias. Underneath it all, athletes are labor, but labor sufficiently privileged to occasionally choose the location of their work. Why shouldn’t Durant do what he wants? What the fuck does he owe the Thunder?

This is the dumbest fucking argument I’ve ever heard. So pro athletes are bad guys when they go for the biggest bucks. But they’re bad guys when they go for less bucks to go to a team that is most likely to get them a ring. I guess the only right move KD could have made would be to take less bucks to go to the Knicks.

hahahahahaha

Oh FFS. Sanders was not polling with any kind of real support at the time this stuff was written. It’s not unfair to support a strong front runner to try to make sure a Dem gets the nod. You know what Sanders supporters? HRC was also favored early on in 2007/8. You know what, a black man named Barack Hussein Obama…

I would like for you to point out where I said we should ban anything.

hot damn this woman could not look any more Texas if she tried.

Yes, we can apply it to a lot of things. “Everyone is a responsible banana eater until suddenly they aren’t.”

Yeah safe to say this guy was not thrilled with how his night turned out.

This is why State and Local elections are almost more important than those at the National level. The Asshats who keep introducing these measures at the State level need to be turned out of office by their constituents. Until that happens, it won’t matter how many pro-choice Judges get appointed to SCOTUS; the women…

The critical piece of information missing from the above is the position of the lower (appeals?) court, given the likelihood of a split court thereby allowing the lower court ruling to stand.

I believe he started using Cage specifically so he wouldn’t be seen as trading on his famous name. I know for sure that he chose “Cage” because of the Marvel superhero Luke Cage, Power Man.

I don’t think she can count on that. Nic is famous for pissing away all his money on things like... snakes. Not making that up. The reason he makes all those bad movies is because he is constantly broke.

Ooof. I love watching Cage’s movies but I can’t believe she held out for eleven years. That kind of manic energy and insistence on naming your kid Kal-El? Impossible to live with.

And many of those pitchers were actually to trying to kill him!

I like cricket. Although I will admit that bench-clearing brawls are kind of fun to watch, in cricket you virtually never see any on-field altercations because brawling is considered totally unacceptable. It just isn't done. That seems to me a better system.

he will probably give 3 solid paragraphs, before everything goes to shit in the 4th.

This is good and all, but how does it help Tim McClelland with the unread rules of baseball?
