“I do think that this is more complicated than you’re making it.”

Just so. He can’t have it both ways, as much as he wants to (and everyone else). I’m sad he chose the way he did.

shocking that someone employing an MLK quote on social media did not actually mean it

“Chinese people buy shoes too.”

Enes Kanter is absolutely right here. Freedom isn’t free.

apples and mandarins

With the regular season about to start, it’s obvious that LeBron will offer no defense against Kanter.

It’s like I’ve always said: if you eat a stranger’s ass in the parking lot before the game, your mouth will probably taste like ass afterwards.

I think this defense is broadly right—but it still amounts to LeBron saying that the sensitivities of one of the world’s most brutal and repressive regimes should set boundaries on what people in the NBA say in public. Which is fuckin’ gross!

This. Lebron fancies himself the voice of the voiceless, at least until it affects his paycheck. Fake-ass sellout doesn’t have a fraction of the strength of character that Kaepernick has. Fuck Lebron, and fuck the NBA.

A good time to remember that Colin Kaepernick gave up his job and all the considerable perks that come with it to stand up against injustice, while LeBron James, whose legacy and bank account are both more secure, is unwilling to risk even a small fraction of future earnings to speak on one of the few world issues…

I understand the players are caught between a rock and a hard place. But this has to be one of the most craven capitulations to money I have ever seen by a major athlete. Should have kept quiet. His rationale is bullshit.

This is just fucking gross. Thats really all I can say about it.

Can we see if that truck is available for the inevitable Patriots championship parade in February?

Part of Kinja’s charm is what a shit show it can be ~ keeps us guessing! :)

Supporting ethnic cleansing to own the libs, eh?

They refused to air/publish his Weinstein expose, even after it passed initial legal review, so he resigned in protest.

Ronan Farrow has position, power, money, fame, and resources... and he still BARELY got the news of a verifiable monster out to the public.  It’s chilling to consider how many Weinsteins are out there who are not being chased by a journalist in a position to catch them.

It’s so strange to me that her sister helped her become emancipated from their mother due to abuse, but no one in her life said “hey, isn’t it weird that this grown man wants to date a barely legal starlet on the rise?”
