In lieu of an actual comment I’ll just say what I think-

I never liked her, so take my opinion as you will, but yeah, there’s nothing out of context here. Racism/bigotry is bad, but fucking terrorism is worse. Period.

Go sit down and learn to fucking speak in public (or just dont have shitty positions).

Counterpoint: No, her remarks were ridiculously disrespectful and indicative of the much larger issue of mainstream Muslims (like Omar) not condemning the actions of their extremist brethren. And you absolutely are quick to point out a white person when they commit an atrocity. Nobody prevents you from doing anything.…

Your political myopia is telling.

I wonder how much your knickers would get in a twist if somebody referred to Christchurch or Charleston as “some guy did something.” You would be righteously, and rightfully upset about downplaying and normalizing white nationalism.

But shoe on the other foot....and this is fine.

I…

Here. I’ll take the heat so it can be seen from a different angle.

“People shouldn’t hate white men just because that one guy did something in Oklahoma”

A civil war is impossible because only one side owns guns.

Yeah it really sucks when “they” do the same thing that “we” do.

“Don’t let people like this lay low. Don’t let them live their lives.

No, that’s not correct. I respect that you see it that way, but that’s objectively and literally not what she is doing. She knows what she is doing and she is doing it on purpose. She is using Trumpian agitation tactics to score rhetorical goals on those she views as enemies.

I have to agree on this one. She at the very least needs to practice having her speeches proofread by slooths looking to see how much damage her words can do when out of context.

That this is a willful misreading of her fuller point—that all Muslims in America have faced violence, intimidation, and discrimination as a result of the actions of a small group of extremists—shouldn’t surprise you.

“Freedom of Speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.”

Holy cow you’re insufferable with this one. Gatorade, Jordan/Nike and countless other brands have showcased a player’s charitable efforts to celebrate a player’s accomplishments on and off the field at the end of their career (Jeter, Manning, etc.). Are we really going to start criticizing brands for making these…

Thanks for this. When I left the house this morning, I noticed the magnolia tree in our front yard was in full bloom and took a moment to appreciate its beauty. After reading this, I remembered that the real focus should be on all of those stupid flower petals which I will have to clean up over the coming weeks. Life…

I tend to believe the victim in these situations, but this has felt off ever since I read her claim about it happening the night of his injury.

This whole thing is a shitshow and I hope justice is served.

I’m not sure when we arrived to this era of “who can apologize the fastest” but this hyper vigilant analysis of the Tom Izzo moment is so confusing and completely unnecessary. It was a heated explosive moment. I’m sure Izzo knows he lost control, but saying that he lost control to the press undermines the relationship…

So hilarious that Deadspin is lecturing Barstool Sports for cruel,obnoxious name-calling when that is a central part of Deadspin’s shtick. Example: the many deeply personal attacks on Michael Wilbon of ESPN and formerly of the Washington Post. Wilbon has done more to nurture the careers of young black sportswriters…

As a reasonable person who likes and dislikes things from both Deadspin and Barstool, this post reeks of a site doing worse complaining about a site doing better.

“PMT might be able to do well without Barstool’s umbrella but Katz and PFT don’t seem inclined to make the jump.”
