why is that great that he’s drawing a paycheck from Nike?

Kaep is getting some of that sweet Nike cash also - dude definitely has made some big sacrifices but that ain’t exactly a guilt-free paycheck. 

Remember how this guy has been consistently getting his beanbag kissed for being the anti-Jordan? Putting conscience ahead of sneaker profits? LOL 

I am shocked by Deadspin’s position on what happened here. Truly shocked on the bold Brooklyn men standing for their beliefs here.  God bless you bold souls. 

Exactly. It made seem lame to outsiders who don’t understand the pain but this is the first legitimate playoff release DC fans have gotten. We’re playing with house money now.

Thanks for the thoughtful response - I think the officiating was pretty bad all around tonight but it’s hard to tell from just that angle if that shoulda been called.

Was too preoccupied watching dirtbag Letang extending his stick to trip Ovechkin after the game winner

I know! He should definitely be branded as a racist the rest of his life for things he said when he was 15 - shame is definitely a better mechanism to deal with these situations than allowing the guy to evolve personally.

It’s amazing the people who smugly deride “bro culture” on this site fail to remember Deadspin used to feature drunken hookup failures and got in trouble numerous times for exceeding the bounds of good taste and encroaching into other’s personal/sexual lives. But hey - don’t let any intellectual dishonesty stop you…

You seem like a normal guy

That must have been harrowing for you. I’m truly sorry.

Lol, never indicated any support for Ingraham’s position.

Jesus Christ you’re a whiny bitch. You quite literally have to attack points that aren’t being made to support what you want to say. I said up front that Ingraham’s point was idiotic, but you have such a child like ability to have a discussion or respond to what’s actually being said that it flew over your head. And…

Ok man. The original post you attacked was the guy saying “yeah she sucks, but Lebron’s statement doesn’t really say anything other than Trump=bad” and you made that into a whole WHY DIDN’T SHE ATTACK POP AND KERR ALSO?!?

I mean you’re participating in an internet comment section also. I simply agreed with the above poster - I didn’t make any conscious decision to “spend my morning defending someone.” Who made you God of deciding who gets to have a dumb internet argument?

Ok but you responded to the OP saying that by deflecting to “why didn’t she go after Kerr and Pop also?” It’s not an unfair point, but it doesn’t address what he said and really has nothing to do with whether or not the statement is insightful.

Again, her saying it’s not insightful isn’t racist in itself. You’re saying that everything that comes out of her mouth is wrong simply because of her motivation of going on the rant against Lebron. Say the original poster you responded to was a person of color and just didn’t think what he said was intelligent or…

I’m sorry, but they’re not mutually exclusive. We are in full agreement that “shut up and dribble a basketball” is a dumb take, but her being wrong for saying that doesn’t magically make Lebron’s words insightful. Nobody is defending her personally, but you know that and are being intentionally obtuse. If Laura…

Ok - so Ingraham is racist then. That doesn’t really discount what the poster above you was saying.

I think smugness/holier than thou attitude like this is probably why people dislike Deadspin. It’s also particularly tone deaf considering Deadspin’s parent company, which its employees still breathlessly defend, was shut down for posting a guy’s sextape without his consent. Or outing a rival media exec without his…
