His point here (as a grad of the HS in question) is that since the people at the HS don't see "Redskin" as a slur to begin with, they DO only use it as a positive - they're only talking about the football team or whatever, completely out of context of Native American history.

My counter-points are that a) there's a ton…

I had him in 8th grade. He was actually one of my favorite teachers at Neshaminy - but he's on the wrong side of history here.

And this is coming from someone whose first Playwicka (no N at the time) article was a defense of the nickname. In 1993.

It is different. At least AP thought he was doing the right thing. Solo was just an abusive drunk asshole.

Oh, I totally blame myself for it, not the ladies. I was socially awkward, kinda boring, and not particularly attractive.

All those things are still true, but I found somebody who loves me anyway :)

If only the Flyers weren't capped out!

As a 30+ man who was single for most of 30-34, some of us are just bad at getting into relationships no matter how much we want one.

Bravo, bravo. I've done nada but surf the web today, and this is the best I've seen.

That is amazing - no idea how I didn't see this when it happened.

This is an epic sentence. "Bros say PYT is full of obnoxious trust-fund hipsters. Hipsters say PYT is full of bros."

"Beats By Ray" was the 2nd most popular fantasy football team name, wasn't it?

My dad's from Dallas and we grew up using "y'all" despite living in Philly. People will know what you mean.

"Youse" and "yinz" are the others I know of. They're not better.

So true! I've got a friend from Arkansas who spells it like that. CONTRACTION FAIL

For me this doesn't even take months. I've gone away for a long weekend and had my folks complain about my accent when I got back. Heaven forbid I ever moved that far away from Philly (and our wooder)

Great to see all these progressive Gawker commenters who don't think Janay Rice is capable of having her own opinion if it's different from theirs.

Artemis is Gryffindor, but dickish Gryffindor, like James Potter.

Hades probably has to be Slytherin. He'd take the "put a fucking basilisk in the castle" route.

I think Hephaestes is a Ravenclaw.

So basically he's Hufflepuff?

It's almost like the NCAA's new guidelines on sexual assault tell athletics department personnel to do what Joe Paterno did!

Identity politics vs union politics - a fight where the bad guy can't be the right wing, for once!

I always thought "chick car" had nothing to do with the car itself, and everything to do with its drivers. The Beetle, the Miata, and the Pontiac Sunfire are cars where it seems 90% of the drivers are women.

The ultimate "chick car" in this sense was the mid-90s redesign of the Jetta, which became the absolute go-to…

This was my thought. Given the headline, how was this NOT about Daenerys?
