Meh. Is this even a strong take? It kind of is just a statement of fact. Deadspin, a sports-blog site filled with writers in the DC and NY area, write about the sports they know and the teams they are fans of. That means, you get heavy Caps/NYC and Eastern Conference coverage. There are like 2 on the staff that…

So someone finally poured salt on him?

That’s fair, I just don’t think it’s necessary to denigrate a situation where athletes with money, power and influence are using it for good. In a perfect world, you’re correct but I don’t see the need to bring it up here I guess. Sorry for being a dick in the first comment.

Fun fact. I know that agents get paid a portion of the players salary and that salary comes from a team, you condescending dick. Now back to my honest question, why would an agent jeopordize guaranteed money (from the team! which they get a cut of!) by allowing their client to sign this contract. It seems beyond…

I have an honest question, why would an agent let a client (especially one offered guaranteed money) sign that? It’s a clear dick move by the organization but this seems like a pretty easy PR win for a player who refuses to sign a contract with that language right?

ah yes, there are problems elsewhere so let’s ignore the problem here

To be fair, the only reason they were in the game was John Wall carrying their ass to that point all season despite no bench and Bradley Beal being constructed out of radish dust by the doozers

When you are watching the game and thinking, “Why isn’t Kelly Oubre playing?” you know you’re doomed

Yeah everyone is weeping for the SEC teams

You forgot the third line of defense - Choking placekickers

OR Minnesota is beautiful in the summer, the land of 10,000 lakes and MPLS is fun. Manhattan still smells bad but NYC is the cultural and financial hub of the US. More languages are spoke in Queens than in any other place in the world. Alabama has a space rocket and Birmingham (legit fun town), no pro-sports and the…

meh

so you’re a shitty human being even after a win?

Yeah but Lax and frisbee are the active summer sports for the skiing, hockey crowd. Golf is for the retirees, or something to do where they don’t care if you’re underaged day drinking

Ah man, that area is pretty cool with a lot of cool restaurants/bars. It is all old industrial so it doesn’t necessarily look like a strip mall which is nice. I lived in DC, not Baltimore so taking the green line to the game was viable. You’re right about metro, but it closes at midnight and games don’t typically go…

Oh man, I liked the Nats stadium. Love that it’s in the city and you can take the metro there. Baseball, soccer and hockey are smaller crowd venues that should be close to the city center. It can’t compare to Camden or PNC (I’m a Pirates fan) but those two are historically great stadiums. Nats Park is much better than…

Nah not buying that. One is directly hateful and a profound part of a political platform. The other is condescending and ignorant in tone but unintentional and not part of their vote. America is a racist country, and it goes to both sides. There are two parties though, one has policies intended to set civil rights…

Jesus you’re slow. I know he’s not American. That isn’t my point. I was just pointing out that this was a really dumb argument about who is Asian vs Asian-American, etc. It’s dumb categorization by race/ethnicity/origin that is useless. Additionally th point originally was that Turoglu is Asian by definition due to…
