Cavs are just keeping him around so they can trade him back to the Knicks for our first rounder.

Fine. We’ll just keep the world’s 5th largest economy to ourselves.

To be fair, Yale university police did follow protocol and checked ID. Given our current environment with shootings, that is justified.

Excellent point. People tend to forget that. Also, during the Reggie Miller and the Davis boys era the Pacers were heavily televised. The Dubs couldn’t sniff TV, even when they had Run TMC and the Webber days. Nobody knew of OKC until they started winning and played an exciting brand of basketball. Now they’re a…

I remember hearing that Ichiro used to hit bombs in BP and was more of a line drive hitter in game on purpose. Ohtani’s swing seems like if Ichiro said fuck it, chicks dig the long ball.

How many red lines has he crossed already? Honestly he can clearly do whatever the hell he wants to, and unless Republicans pass legislation protecting Mueller and making him fully independent, we’re always going to have this hanging over our heads. They managed to kill the Congressional investigation, it’s just a…

As a 49er fan, I never thought I would say this, but damn I hope Sherman’s opinion of himself is a lot closer to reality than I’ve ever given him credit for.

Living in Japan for so many years has made it so that foreigners like me have to answer questions asked by Japanese about foreigners like him. There’s always idiots that just have to push the boundaries and just refuse to try and understand Japanese social rules. Most are unspoken, but these particular foreigners need…

I have no idea why, but something about the way he keeps putting the glasses he just punched off her face back on her is as deeply disturbing as the actual physical violence, like it’s some extension of a need for control or the like.

Could’ve been an accident. Passing was never his strong suit.

I’m an American-born child of Chinese immigrants. While Bari’s comments (and subsequent “if you were offended, that says more about your intentions than mine!!!” response) were disappointing, to any POC, especially Latinix and Asian POC, this is exactly 0% shocking. We get othered all the time, even in the country of…

Aziz was being creepy. But... I’m a guy and though I try to be empathetic in my encounters with women, I can put myself in Aziz’s situation.

Nope. Stassa, you’re a terrific writer & I often agree with you, but ... nope. I am a 48 year old woman. I wasn’t part of the Gloria Steinham, bra-burning wave of Feminists, I’m part of the next generation. I read “Grace’s” account on babe, but admittedly, I haven’t read any of Ansari’s responses from then or now.…

Thank you for reframing this in a way that makes it clear to (hopefully) everyone that this was NOT an assault. It cheapens the #MeToo movement. Let her bemoan her bad date/awful sex with her girlfriends at happy hour. This story did not deserve the attention it got, and it would have gotten none without Aziz’s…

Read the article. She was disturbed by his choice of white wine. She would have preferred red wine, though she didn’t say a word to him and basically framed his choosing the wine without asking her as some kind of abusive behavioral pattern on his part. This should raise a red flag for everyone when it comes to assess…

I’ve been trying to not talk about this, but the coersion thing is the sticking point for me. Coersion is necessarily with force or threat, lightly- an undesired consequence for performing (or not) an action. It seems from her account that the consequence for not proceeding would have been that she would have had to…

It’s called a hookup. Something that is perfectly legal between two mutually consenting adults. When women do it and talk about it publicly the are usually lauded for being sexually empowered. So stop looking for dates on Tinder.
