His “country” and the “government” are two completely different things. He SHOULD pay his respect to his country. I will defend his right to do what he did, and your right to support him for it. It’s part of what makes this country so great. Washed up millionaires can vent their frustrations in idiotic fashions and…

WTF, Burke? It looks like Deadspin’s new M.O. is to put its writers’ dipshit irrelevant spin on fairly straightforward articles to produce Gawker-esque self-righteousness in the comments section. Has the click counter on your office wall been replaced with a comment counter?

Ali stood before the draft board and articulated his objections clearly, and he was prepared to face prison time to uphold them. That is every bit as honorable as…

Never let anyone tell you being famous doesn’t have its benefits.

You can’t be that blind. For a good 4-5 year stretch Howard was a top 5 player in the League, Mulin never even sniffed similar thing. Not the mention, basketball includes defense too. And if you’re gonna build your arguments on typos, well they’re not very good.

Jezebel’s really not gonna like this story.
