Yeah! Bonferroni that shit up, son!!

I know I'm late to the conversation, but I have a question I've been struggling with and want to get some feedback. I'm not advocating a particular view here, honestly don't know what to think. Here goes:

"Not to mention sports leagues are paid for by investors. Not tax money as far as I know."

I didn't even get this joke and I laughed.

"seriously, what dire thing do you think will happen if your partner's genitals touch somebody else's genitals?"

Well I for one had no idea that's what Kanye looks/sounds like. So today was a big day me.

Well that doesn't sound like a joke at all.

Hey, I don't know anything about horse racing. I was reading this before the race, and it seemed reasonable so I bet a Cali Chrome/field exacta. Just wanted to say thanks!

I feel like I never get your jokes.

We're saying the same thing. I agree with you. Forsakenfire's argument was that, by the logic of the Olin case, someone could also fire an employee for advocating for gay rights on twitter. My argument was, yeah, they sure could. They'd have to be pretty committed to that agenda to weather the public backlash they'd…

I agree that there's definitely a pretty big gray area. That said, (a) it's probably a good idea to err on the side of caution whenever you're speaking publicly. Like it or not, the internet is a public forum, and what you say (non-anonymously) is attached to your name. So put some thought into it. Was Olin getting…

I feel pretty confident that if you were, say, the CMO for WalMart (or any high-profile politically conservative company), and you made a comment supporting gay marriage on your personal twitter account (which has 100k+ followers), you would get fired. Wouldn't violate your 1A rights (no one is putting you in jail),…

Or you could just, you know, not post offensive shit on the internet.

Dude, you keep posting the same shit over and over again in this thread and others. And people keep telling you that you literally don't understand what the 1st Amendment means (sometimes even quoting it for you). Have you still not read the 1st Amendment? You really should. It's pretty central to your argument. After…

Nah, just thought we were having a reasonably disagreement. I think the "black-on-white racism is just as bad as white-on-black racism" argument is dead wrong, but I can appreciate how a reasonable person might get there. I thought adding my two cents might contribute something. Your last post is some seriously racist…

Wow. *slowly backs away*

Yeah, but we're not all equal in practice. Not when we live in a country where one racial group bought, sold and killed another racial group as they pleased in the not-too-distant past... where one racial group was denied civil rights by another until just a few decades ago, and is still systematically discriminated…

Dude, maybe read the thread before you post? This question has been answered 50 times. tl;dr: 1st Amendment prevents the government from infringing on free speech. The NBA is not the government.

So assuming Carmelo ever said "whiteness is weak and wicked and inferior" which, of course, he never would (because money)... Your argument is that a black employee expressing anti-white racism is just as problematic as a white owner of a predominantly black business expressing anti-black racism, and should be…

Can we go ahead and round up everyone that posted a "Why is this news?" comment on every Jason Collins/Michael Sam/Derrick Gordon article, but not on this article, and ban them? Thanks!
