Every 90's kid with a good childhood reading this article like:

Not only that! They had him announce HIS FUCKING REPLACEMENT.

This really perpetuates the notion that while Terrell Owens and Randy Moss got all the press about their character concerns, the real bad dude was meek quiet Marvin Harrison.

I’m not sure being aware of liberal arts would make him any less of a douche.

See, this is the part of the argument I don’t understand. I don’t buy that he was bullied *because* of Apu, rather the bullying took the *form* of Apu because that was the only popular Indian character the children would be familiar with. It seems like the Simpsons are getting blamed for being one of the first…

My only quibble with your comment is that Mother Theresa IS ALSO an asshole LOL But yes this is entirely spot on. Elon Musk is amazing.

Have you ever read this “writer” before? He hates anyone who is successful and/or makes money. This is his tired old schtick.

An alternate perspective in the interest of sanity:

Then why intro your article clearly insinuating that there is legitimate reason to not believe Redick? I love the editorial nature of Deadspin writing. Why not take up for the position of this being a bogus controversy, instead of seemingly stirring it up yourself?

It’s very hard to watch this video—and especially this video, which zeroes in on Redick’s message—and not wonder whether J.J. Redick is, in fact, trying to smuggle an insult into what is otherwise meant to be a greeting.

Kids can be annoying, yes, but it’s generally considered unwise to call someone else’s kid an “annoying little pissant” where they can hear you, especially when that someone is the biggest sports star in your market and gives your radio station an exclusive weekly interview (oh, and you’re a week out from the…

I think there’s a significant difference between you as a parent disciplining your own child for their behavior and someone else calling them out as “an annoying little pissant”. It’s not wrong to call the child out for their behavior in a respectful manner but no, you don’t call someone else’s child “an annoying…

I am the first to admit my 5 year old son can be annoying as fuck. He’s also 5 and probably doesn’t deserve to be insulted — and being called an annoying fuck is, in fact, an insult — by a grown man broadcasting to thousands of people.

Ummm ok? It’s still incredibly inappropriate for someone with no relationship to said child to call them a “pissant” on a regional radio station.

OK, so time for my new favorite thing: ask Deadspin.

Changing the literal definitions of words is not ok. I get your point, bickering the exact defintion of a word is often pedantic. There is a problem, however, when one tries to change the definition of a word to further their agenda.

the dictionary kinda disagrees with your assessment of racism.
