Thank you for your responses. I think the consensus should be that the “crappy situation” is not that the football staff seemed to be in a Catch-22, but that someone died who didn’t have to.

Heh, I like all those dudes. (I got heated when they subbed out Ray for Hatteburg for several games a few seasons back.)

Yes, but we’re specifically discussing the argument that the act of darkening one’s skin is an inherently racist act.

You do realize that in Europe, there was plenty of antiblack literature, imagery, et cetera because of colonialism, right? America sadly does not have a monopoly on this stuff, so yeah, I’m not gonna give somebody a pass because they didn’t grow up in the US.

We all have some sort of social lens that colors how we see the world.

Hope you’re enjoying the win tonight.

I’m sorry about your dad.

You mean “death by broken heart,” which is far, far more ridiculous and hacky.

That stride length tho.

I’m only explaining why a team would chose to leave for LA. I think would be fairly obvious to anyone with even a mild grasp of economics, but apparently not.

Haha, I hope he checks his bulletin board...

A “Senior Analyst,” no less!

It’s great that you have all these numbers and stuff, but none of it addresses the fact that some person on the internet is bitter about the prospect of the Chargers(!) ditching San Diego and heading up I-5.

Yes?
[can’t recall seing trailers/commercials for The Host, is playing along so no one will call him a fraud]

Bill Hader as a romantic lead: that is the most unbelievable aspect of Trainwreck, I’d have to say (having not, um, seen the movie).
