New York offered Carmelo and Sasha Vujacic to the Clippers in exchange for Jamal Crawford, Paul Pierce and Austin Rivers, a deal to which Rivers ultimately said no.

A Charter school isn’t more or less likely to do this than any other. Black girls get treated like this everywhere. Here’s an example just from yesterday.

If you don’t want to participate in a serious discussion about how media is presented that’s fine but please do not come in my thread and troll people

It’s probably LaVar Ball you idiot

The hate existed long before the cheating allegations. Except that despite the crowd-frenzy to the contrary the overwhelming likelihood is that there was no cheating and people were just itching for an excuse even before it came up. People literally unlearned fucking physics in order to find an excuse.

He wasn’t puking, Billy.

Cool take: sometimes you’re more likely to injure yourself trying to not fall over than to just fall over

Medium take: you can knock over someone bigger than you who isn’t bracing themselves off you have a running start

It wasn’t a flop. If you look at it again Olynyk fell because he didn’t see Oubre coming at him; Olynyk was busy bitching to the ref about his own foul. As dirty as his plays were on Oubre, they would have been regular fouls as seen by the officials. Oubre made the mistake of loosing his cool (it would be hard for…

As someone from the Boston area who’s now lived in Chicago longer than I have anywhere else, I am WELL aware of Boston’s history of racism, including (but obviously not most importantly) as directed towards local sports heroes.

Setting my alarm for 530AM to get the full 4.5 hours of Kirk and Callahan on WEEI with the HOTTEST TAKES. It’s going to be great. You’ll get Sully from Carver with his “I have a black friend” take. You’ll get Ben from Manchester who once sat in the out field in Fenway in the 1980s and NEVER HEARD A RACIST COMMENT, so…

People whine when nobody stands up against bullshit and people whine when someone does. I guess the common factor is that people whine all the time.

*Everything* I wrote is true, and you’ve been asking repeatedly why anyone cares if we know the name of the FA. I answered your question. Because the FA will *definitely* be held accountable, as will AA. At least for this incident.

OK, I’ll bite, please tell me how many marathons you’ve run, so that I may properly compliment you.

I think there’s a difference between knowing the game is rigged, and knowing how it’s rigged. I volunteer to do taxes for low-income people. There’s a big gap between their awareness of things that are screwing them directly (employer practices, confusing parts of ACA that lead to them paying more, etc.) and things…

I feel sorry for Kevin Wards family. I don’t want to think about losing one of my kids.

It’s saying something that Loria is the person I’d be the least concerned with on this administration. And Loria is a terrible human being. I guess he has, I dunno, a “unique” taste in artwork? Or something? That monstrosity in CF is kinda like an Eiffel Tower?

“Equal pay” was the worst thing they could have brought to the table. They eventually realized that “equitable pay” made more sense because of how important the pay was to them continuing in the sport.
