Yes, and I find that exact phenomenon that you are describing to be endemic to conservatives and Republicans (and Libertarians). They are only empathic and progressive on a specific issue if it affects them or their immediate family personally (I call it "Dick Cheney/Rob Portman Syndrome"). Like the politician who…

(c) But if the renumeration goes to the NCAA, it's cool.

Could be a distress signal. No one would choose to be at that game. People are being held there against their will.

I think it's the opposite. Before if you were a hardcore crazy racist, you might find a newsletter or a few people that might agree with you, but you mostly kept it to yourself because you knew that it wasn't popular or might cause you problems if it got out.

We're always happy to dump on ESPN when they screw up, but submitting a well-researched public records request on a subject of legitimate public interest in the expectation that it won't be sprayed all over the internet on Christmas Eve in an attempt to dampen its findings is definitely not an area where they screwed…

I'd bet that at least part of it is that when Kobe's sitting, the players on the court are usually going up against the other teams' bench, not its starters. So it's doubtful that when Kobe sits, Swaggy-P and the Mid-Range Jumper All-Stars are shutting down Anthony Davis, Russell and Kevin, or the Golden State…

cool, post a link to the blog where you review every beer as being like every other beer, sounds super-useful.

please go on about these problems in the black community that indisputably contribute to police killing black people.

Yes. They do.

Do they hate black people that much?

When the cops are trying to arrest you, if you fight back, things go wrong.

"Black people were already having the conversation about how differently black people and white people are treated by cops. We didn't need this hashtag."

Yes, but racist and/or clueless white people who WEREN'T having the conversation are now being forced to. The shitty awful truth is that racists WILL NOT HEAR IT when…

Tiger has always had trouble with his short irons and wedges around Thanksgiving.

I'd add The Matrix to this list – perfect hero character arc.

When one Cosby falls another shall rise to take their place.

I'm just curious how a few players coming out of the tunnel with their hands up for a few seconds "infected" your entire Sunday afternoon. If that's all it takes to derail your entire day, well, that's a whole other issue you might need to consider.

Yeah man. These players need to shut the fuck up so I can masturbate to them violently colliding with each other without having to be aware of their "agendas."

The idiots responsible for this should know better than to use unpaid staff at professional sporting events. It's college sports where you can get away with that sort of thing.

Context my man. MLK said, "Riots are the voice of the unheard." Personally, I don't believe he was advocating riots. It's more of a statement of fact. When you see rioting, it is the bi-product of dysfunction, and we need to look for the reasons why. But what the fuck do I know.

It's just not fair, how you white people suffer.
