So now he has someone wiping his ass for him while you’re still self-wiping like a sucker. #CannotWin

Um...I’m not sure where all the other likes are. That’s obviously a Kinja error

I misspelled accuracy in the first, and only, spelling bee I ever participated in.

The presser is the only dedicated time they have access to ask questions. If one reporter is asking about his daughter, another reporter doesn’t get to ask a question about the game, which is the only reason he is supposed to be there. He is representing the organization and the team, not his own personal interests.

Not the place for “fun with your kid.” You think it’s a joke? Cool. Don’t watch them, don’t respond to articles about them, don’t participate in the discussion at all. Just watch the games and tune in to Cooking with the Currys. If you need celebrities to be “humanized” to appreciate them, that’s your relationship to

Exploitation is defined above. It isn’t pejorative. This article title, specifically, is bending this nonstory into a story about Steph striking back at haters. Maybe Steph does it because he thinks it’s cute; media (Deadspin in this instance) is turning that into a “This is for the haters” rally cry. They are

All I’m thinking about now is Natty Light. Goddamn you.

No, not on Steph per se, although he is voluntarily putting his child in a spotlight that she doesn’t need to be in. That is a personal decision he and his family makes because thye thinks it’ll be cute. That’s totally fine, but it has it’s own baggage. Use of childrens’ images in the media is a subject with amny

You mean besides the evidence of signing black players to replace the black players he released?

You don’t find value in pressers. Cool bro. That’s your opinion. Some people do. Some people feel like they provide at least a cursory insight into the game from the actual players, and if they want a feature on Steph’s parenting, they can watch the SportsCenter Sunday Conversation.

I categorically disagree; the presser is the journalists’ workplace. The court is the players’ workplace. Players are obligated to make media appearances as a concession to public interest that extends beyond the court. Now, on that accord, I absolutely agree with the last point, that maybe some people like cute kids

Journalists are average people; the presser is a workplace for them while it is a fringe obligation stemming from the players’ actual job—as stipulated in their contracts, they make themselves available to the public at league-specified times. Steph can commission the filming of the “Curry Family Christmas Special” if

Well, even if someone didn’t watch the basketball game at all, they can tell me Steph made a ridiculous shot at some point in the game.

Maybe not “never” but you just again discounted gaining anything insightful by appealing to “rote confirmation of observations.” If I’m not a journalist working that room, I’m not telling them how they should feel about a child distracting them from their work. Maybe it’s silly. I have a lot of silly quirks in my

Your argument implies that we never get anything meaningful out of these pressers, which is simply untrue. And besides, canned responses are standard for pretty much any engagement with the press, no matter the industry or importance of the event being covered. I don’t care about seeing athlete kids on stage because I

Our two office toilets use different sensor mechanisms, and they both suck. For those who aren’t abject savages, it sometimes requires standing/squatting repeatedly until it recognizes your missing heat imprint, or however that voodoo tech works. For the others, leaving floating “debris” is standard procedure. And

And fruit snacks don’t even taste that great.

What, the literal FUCK, is he going on about? Having a debate about esoteric, highly data-sourced concepts is somehow intellectually dishonest, but shutting down that debate is intellectually honest? (I mean, I guess that’s the conclusion of this retarded binary proposition.)

Ties are obviously also still required for many jobs, but when you dress up too much, you risk making yourself and everyone else uncomfortable, or looking like you’re trying too hard. You’re the new guy—you already stand out enough. That being said, it doesn’t hurt to pack a tie in your bag just in case you have a

Pats Truther: “Oh, come on now, he could have been trying to get to the bottom of anything. Maybe they were talking about who ate the last Doritos, you know, trying to get to the bottom of the bag. Anything is possible!”
