So you’re saying football, like all organized religion, should be wiped off from the face of the planet to make the world a better place?

he offered to go get ice cream with the kid to patch things up.

Not that this idea is new or anything, but one more time for the people in the back: stating that you are not / don’t want to be political is very much taking a political position.

For some reason it’s very important for fanboys to have their superhero movies considered Serious Cinema.

If there is a baseline between exuberant celebration and disturbingly degrading behavior, these videos are a slow roller toward first that might not stay in fair territory.

in this case, yeah, that’s sick. Anyone who sent him a death threat is a horrible person. It does happen on both sides though. Social media lets the psychos run wild.

““I believe it’s important to support our President whether he was your candidate or not,” Cameron told SI.com’s Grant Wahl.“

If you can run fast enough, you just need to trace the series of tubes and hack it off with a machete.  Then the emails spill all over the ground.

There is no “left” you fucking toady. There’s an extreme Right and a conservative Right and a moderate Right.

You’ve already put more thought into this than Gladwell did.

Malcolm, if you’re reading this (and given both the size and the fragility of ego, I bet that you are) know this: the only thing profound about you is the breadth of your dipshittery. Trying to rationalize a defense of Sandusky and those who enabled him by delegitimizing the way his victims processed their trauma is…

Wouldn’t “default to truth” also mean believing McQueary, or the various accusers, etc.? I'm not going to read the book but how is this principle supposed to handle conflicting accounts?

60% of the time it works every time. 

The “Truth-Default Theory” may be useful in explaining Gladwell’s sales numbers. People see a book and assume it must be worth reading, and then can’t admit they wasted their time when it turns out to be shit.

What idiot called it keeping the ball in Minshew’s hands and not Constant Gardner

Seems like you read almost as well as AB writes.

His son could tell you that unhealthy scratches are worse.

I really don’t think the correct answer to the question “If it is too dangerous for girls...” is to let girls in on the concussion train. Kids shouldn’t be playing football, full stop. It’s demonstrably, obviously dangerous, and it’s absurd that it’s been allowed to continue as long as it has.

“TV clowns weren’t really a thing anymore by the 1980s.”

Pssst, you couldn’t walk past a TV in the 80s without seeing 50 McDonald’s commercials. 

Your mistake is you think people use religion as a basis to create their world view. It’s actually the other way around.
