I know this site has a reflexive “fuck the NCAA” position but I think in this one instance you sort of have to admit that these players went about things the wrong way. I didn’t use the benefits of my scholarship to buy electronics and then pawn them. I just straight up used my scholarship money on booze. Cut out the…

IMO generally people who protest with guns know exactly what they are doing, and in some ways are just waiting for one of those bat/stick people to take a swing at them. Fortunately, at the moment most people don’t take a swing at the person carrying a rifle.
2nd amendment zealots have made sure that will never happen. You do have to wonder how the police could so easily be outgunned when other protests/demonstrations (you know - the ones that weren’t populated entirely by white folks) had police showing up basically in military gear/force.
We should really just make protesting with weapons illegal.
The image I’m reposting from this is the shot of the “boxing tape” on the fists. Currently, the right seems determined to sell the idea that The Nazis/KKK were just there to protest, and were provoked. So, yeah, one normally tapes their fists on a day when they weren’t planning on fighting.

It’s not because you’re white. It’s because that’s quite possibly the weakest attempt at protest I’ve ever heard of. No one said anything because they didn’t even know you were protesting.
Not to mention the replacement of the second most stupid song in the world (Take Me Out to the Ball Game) with the stupidest song in the world (God Bless America) for the 7th inning stretch.
I definitely agree that this stuff has made me rethink about the anthem before sporting events. There really is no reason for it.
Where do provinces have anthems?
Kwame Appiah has a way of talking about this I really like: if we want to be proud of our country, then we have to be able to be ashamed of it, too. And if we have public rituals for expressing pride, then it seems natural and reasonable to use them to express shame as well.
Depressing that he has to qualify a simple gesture of his personal dismay by pledging fealty to the military and hot dog sandwiches. The military already gets close to a trillion dollars a year, they don’t need my undying devotion.
Give the pitcher credit for that, Engel run to third because it appeared to be uncovered, but McHugh hustled over there to cover before Engel could reach it.
Honest question.
Kobman says he remembers that “an old guy in the section” ended up with the ball.
This isn’t an article about an MMA fighter. It’s an article about a boxinng match between a professional boxer and an amateur.
He had an answer for everything thrown at him, and over 13 draining rounds, he clinically beat Cooney up, bringing him further and further from land, reminding him constantly that he would eventually drown in a horrible way.
“Gregorius lasted more than seven full seconds...”
This ranks very, very low on the scale of bad decisions made nearly every weekend at Rick’s in East Lansing.
