Civil rights includes federal protection for specific groups from discrimination. So I guess the US government? The military? Congress, the judicial system, etc.

For real though, it's bullshit that some people want to deny others rights just because of gay. It's so fucking annoying to see someone say "well, it's part of my religion to treat you like a piece of shit" and at the same time "don't treat me like a piece of shit because you don't believe what I believe." I'm…

A middleweight contender.

Maybe you're not paying attention, but none of those guys were remotely at the same level they were when they were champs.

No, he's not a juggernaut at all. It's not his fault there's nobody left to fight in the division, but that doesn't make him a superhero. Back in PRIDE, he wouldn't have even had a chance. Maybe this is my ring-vs.-cage opinion showing through, but in the cage, size does a whole lot more than in the ring so when…

- Shogun had love handles for that fight and hasn't looked like he's in shape for a fight since the PRIDE days. He also isn't the same Shogun that tore through PRIDE since his knee had to be re-made.

Because Jon Jones is lame, intolerant, and not nearly the juggernaut the UFC would have you believe he is. He lost that fight to Gustafsson and before that fight, the only people he's had to defend the belt against were middleweights, over-the-hill, or both.

I'm assuming that it was a fly ball and that runner was on first so when he dropped it, it became a force play at 2nd.

T'was badass as fuck, but not just because he's fast. He/3rd base coach knew the intricacies of what was going on and took advantage. A better article would have been "Look how smart AND fast he is"

Not "unprepared" but definitely not in the best throwing position and not a perfect strike. He had the best shot to get Hamilton so nobody did anything wrong, but if Jay was a right-hander and that had been on a line, Hamilton is out pretty easily.

Well, you can file against anyone you want and without the context of the Rockets' players being insulting, it's hard to bring evidence that he's not just a bad worker who lost out on shifts because he was lazy. It was also representatives of the Rockets' organization in Rockets' uniforms in the Rockets' locker room…

Not watching a 30 second ad for a 2 second video. Sorry Deadspin.

Anyone who wants quote police doctrine or whatever "blue line" paramilitary bullshit is willfully disregarding the fact that the police, even when faced with potentially dangerous circumstances, are still beholden to the same laws as the rest of us.

As she says in the video, her car is on the other side of them. She didn't pick where they set up, and seeing as though this is UofA, she probably doesn't hold a grudge against any one of those cops for putting someone from her neighborhood away.

Ugh.

My company did too, I'll ask for a raise too but that'll probably go as well as you asking.

University housing isn't actually less expensive than off-campus housing (even in Westwood). Schools include it in the scholarship but don't actually have to pay for it besides the opportunity cost of having another student in there (which is mitigated many times over by the football or basketball programs). Student…

Honestly, I don't know if I would be any more intellectually-honest if I had a bone to pick in the situation and I would certainly do all I could to protect my job, especially if, as you say these guys are, I was not well-compensated and losing the job would affect my family greatly.

Willful ignorance in an attempt to protect your cash cow is not being a "really good guy." People are measured by how they handle things that are adverse, and because I won't assume that those guys are blind or stupid, I'm going to go ahead and say that they are fully aware of how exploitative the system is, and…

It seems like a poor argument that scholarship athletes should not attend certain schools because their scholarship doesn't cover the full cost of tuition in a certain geographic location vs. others. Other wage markets in the same areas are affected by different costs-of-living, otherwise they risk losing out on…
