It's Magic Night. Fans who stay until the end of the game will be given AIDS by Magic Johnson.

Worst Part - Shambles wasn't even real!

When it crossed the plate it looked like it just caught Gardner's knees. I think the real question is whether the ump was consistent, which, I cannot say either way. But I thought that call on Gardner was pretty close, once you watched the replay.

You think his financing of illegal settlements should be grounds for his removal as an NBA owner? I think it deserves criticism, sure. You don't see how the lack of a "bright line" test could cause problems here? Do you realize how many owners have earned their money via unethical or immoral means? It's just a…

What about Mickey Arison, owner of the Heat? He actually finances illegal settlements in the West Bank which permit only Jewish citizens of Israel to reside. That's furthering illegal (under international law) segregation. That's not just "private racism," we're talking a public policy of oppression. This is the…

Smart take. Yah, "hypocritical" wasn't the right word. He deserves strong condemnation. It's the feeding frenzy re: harmless, private acts of racism and the general acceptance of other acts of race motivated policies (or fuck the poor motivated policies) that really gets me aggravated.

No, it's private. Telling your gf not to bring black guys to the game is private racism. Passing laws with the goal of limiting black voting turn-out is public racism. He wants his girl to not associate with certain kind of people, is fucked up, but private and frankly, is common among all races. Not a…

While Sterling's statements are obviously fucked up, I don't really see them as more than a standard deviation beyond "mainstream racism" insofar as that (i) about 90% of Americans live in communities that can be characterized as "segregated" (yes, I'm looking at you upper-middle class commenters who grew up in nice…

Pretty rich of LeBron to complain considering his team's owner finances residential communities that only Jews are permitted to live in, in violation of international law.

Don't forget to wash your Vagina

That's not his brother. That's Jordan Peele, they're friends from back home.

Yah, wtf. "please lord, bless their divorce with dignity and mutual respect."

The problem was that they hired a manager who was unable to connect with United's largely Hispanic fan base.

Does having a transparent opinion invalidate the specific argument?

Barry, you picked the wrong article to play the "you didn't even read the article game," because I wonder if you actually read this fucking garbage?

Shouldn't this article be about the NHL? Acting like Soccer is out of place in ATL? Hmm, ok. This is some Slate contrarian shit.

Sorry but you sound like one of the people who roll their eyes at each NSA revelation (That's old news!). Of course others have made the points she tries to convey with her "Twitter Activism," but I don't think it's inaccurate to say she's a pioneer of the medium in terms of effectiveness and outreach. Nor, does…

"But actually, like, when are we actually going to have these conversations about how white supremacy has caused Orientalism, slavery and genocide? When will we actually touch on those big things?"

It is obvious satire. But when the punch-line is your negative stereotype, it still can be discomforting.

Yes, I read it. Were you being ironic when you said Orientals? Don't quite follow how you find it to be a narcissism tour, instead of good faith criticism.
