“Ks Altuve”

Yeah...

That was some USA vs USSR, 1972 Olympics bastketball shit there.

Would it be naive of me to think that there was a way out of this that isn’t slimy? Granted there’s no union rep to ask, but would the protesters be (somewhat) mollified if the NFL said, “You know what? Now that you mention it, police brutality IS pretty bad. We’ll put $30 million a year into research, training, and…

I cannot stop laughing at this. I don’t know why.

Dammit.

White AF here. I had not heard of these until...75 seconds ago.

I haven’t seen too many white players kneeling, and wonder what the discussion is in the various locker rooms. (I know it depends on the team, but it had to be something they talked about.)

Quick question - do we really want to live in a country in which you can lose your job for criticizing the president?

Hate the new layout. Please put it back.

True story: He’s coaching 4th grade flag football in my son’s league here in Cleveland.

I read he’s planning to run for governor.

When I was an officer stationed in Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, I went to a strip bar because I’d been to the only officer-safe non-strip bar about 1000 times. I felt like an anthropologist observing odd, odd rituals, as women pretended to be sexy and the men pretended to be aroused.

It was very nearly the least erotic…

You realize that there aren’t batters during ceremonial first pitches, right?

Hope Hicks is gone, too.

Interestingly enough, this might not be true. According to a Fox poll(!):
