It seems perverse to me that you are openly rooting for the police to have murdered an innocent man rather than have engaged in the justified use of force.

No, usually they’re performing the export to get into the game free and for some extra pay. Often, the escorts are not contracted, but are done by the police because FOOTBALL!

Despite people insisting otherwise, outside of sound effects, JP is actually more accurate than people give them credit for. But it’s always fun to shit on movies to act superior. There was a time when people said that it was IMPOSSIBLE for a great white shark to reach the size of the one depicted in Jaws, but oops…

Hey everyone who immediately assumes that “more density” = “moral imperative to make everybody live in places as dense as my personal nightmare interpretation of the shittiest and densest block in Manhattan”:

Why is this millennial I'm smarter than you shit on Deadspin? Nothing sports related at all. At least Ashley is funny.

Inability to sit through a 2 hour service and requiring help to get inside a van wasn’t affecting her abilities? How about lying for several hours after the event claiming she was fine, was that a mental lapse brought on by the illness or a pathological condition?

Yeah, who needs a transparent government anyway? I’m sure whatever they decide for us is best! People who like to be informed are idiots!

First of all, I’m an atheist that was raised in a Mormon household. With that out of the way: If a team wants to have a team prayer (just like my family does), go right ahead. A prayer in and of itself should not be a problem. If a player doesn’t want to participate, do what I do: sit there and wait a while. A prayer…

In the Chiquita case (which did not go to court and therefore does not state any sort of legal principle) the reporter participated in the hacking of the voicemails. That is not the situation here. If you’d like to cure your ignorance, Google Bartnicko v. Vopper.

Im right there with you. This is a serious and messed up story. I know I shouldn’t come to the Deadspin comments for serious takes, but it would be nice if it wasn’t just a series of occasionally funny jokes.

They are screenshots of texts collected by the police. Why do you even need an “if this is true.”?

He simply chose to not “start a family or develop his portfolio.”

I hope so. There’s going to be so much that he needs if he does have to use a wheelchair from here on out. Most people don’t think about that. I’ve got a parent who was wheelchair-bound at a very young age (in his 40s), and costs added up quickly: rebuild front and back porch to be ramp accessible, install chair lift…

On a fucking hand cycle !Awesome.Glad to donate to your recovery brother.You know who recovers nicely people like Chew with great attitudes, and in Pittsburgh no less.Got love the ride.

Not all of us are assholes, we just get stuck here and can’t get out.

Horrible, horrible news. Like any sensible person, I hope that he recovers and gets back on track to finishing his lifelong goal.

You really think this would hurt her for a second financially?? She went from being a nobody to famous by taking that knee - fuck her

It’s called virtue signalling and, yeah, it’s pretty popular. (I’m 100% for the right to engage in such virtue signalling. Just know that people who reject you for such signalling are just as right to do so - if it’s A-OK for Kaepernick to wear socks with pigs dressed as cops, it’s A-OK for other people to call him an…

Hi. Thank you for being so open and honest and how you feel. We should be having discussions like this.

I’m having a hard time with this all. My husband is a veteran and we argue about it because-and I know in my heart he’s right about this—but his stance is that we live in a country where we protect the freedoms of it’s citizens to speak out in this way and not get shot or put into prison for protesting.
