because they’re hypocrites. this isn’t rocket science. how are you guys getting so confused so easily.

I quit Gawker before they ended because of garbage like this and now I’m about to quit Deadspin. Sill sports gifs and cutsey bear posts aren’t worth the social justice shithole this place is turning into.

It’s a former Gawker site. You’re supposed to be outraged 24/7. It never stops.

nothing gets more clicks than race baiting

Right off the bat this morning were on this shit again?

Do white people have to do everything around here?

Hey did you know that they are making jokes about that very fact?

And, in the interests of fairness, here’s a photo of some guys who used to beat the shit out of KJ.

Sure looks like he was beat “to a pulp”. Looks like Gawker Media is still doing the reporting around here, eh?

This is a weak take.

respondingtoshitforbrainsburner, actually not. He’s pointing out another example of a grave national issue, and your (and your compatriots on this site) inconsistency in responses to each.

I appreciate what Lynch said. And agree that it’s true.

Again, I’m not personally a fan of the kneel during the anthem, but that’s his right and I’m also not outraged over it.

There is a problem, but there is also a media problem in that things get covered with certain angles and with social media and the internet, it’s…

Why? Where did he make a moronic false equivalency?

No, the point is I need to accept that shit happens, struck by lighting, brain eating amoebas, the list goes on. But accepting the intentional actions of fellow humans acting under their own free will as “random”, well, let’s just shut it all down then. Metal detectors at the airport, gone! And disband the police…

A guy got hit by a car about a half mile from my house this morning, killed instantly. It’s called an accident, shit happens. I get it. I was three blocks from the finish line in Boston when the bombs went off. Not an accident. To conflate the two is preposterous.

Ok, fine. I’ll accept these as random events instead of a national issue if you accept police officers killing unarmed black men as events driven by bad apples rather than a system issue.

No.

It is exactly a stretch.

If you are aware of lineup data before you pick your team, you have advance knowledge of which players will give you a higher relative advantage should they score.

There’s something quite heartwarming knowing there are former Duke players out there in basketball camps, not for fame or fortune, but only for the chance to humiliate children.
