The right has been so busy coopting the word “bullying” to redefine it as “being intolerant of my intolerance” while redefining actual bullying as “first amendment rights” or “sincerely held religious beliefs.” So count me as skeptical of ANY anti-bullying push from the right.

She needs to talk to her oldest child about 1st and take away his phone.

So pretty much ideal conditions for fun, exciting, baseball?

Reports of declining participation in Pop Warner football—and, more generally, all 11-player full-contact youth football—have been circulating for years, with some evidence that the decline is related to increased concern about head injuries.

I mean, he’s not exactly in a laughing mood right now, I’m sure, but yeah

“the problem with most white folks”..... that in itself is borderline racist. I’m not saying what these children did was right. On the contrary, if a child of mine did what those children on that video did I would discipline him in a way he would never forget. They learn this behavior from their parents. I am a white…

The style and quality of those Jesus signs makes me think it’s one super try-hard guy who really has a message in his heart that he wants to express. His Jesus stuff will never be as good as someone who hastily writes “Jim Harbaugh Pronounces the ‘g’ in ‘lasagna’” with a ballpoint pen on a flattened inside out beer…

Truly surprised to see this, what with religion and child molestation being such historically uncorrelated things

Apparently kinja just ate my post so let me repost. This is completely unrelated. The public high school right by my house that I can hear all the football stadium announcements just had a prayer and a whole Jesus is our savior thing before they played the national anthem. THIS IS NOT OK. Forced patriotism and…

I grew up in Santa Rosa, have family there, and live close enough that I’ve been up several times in the past couple of weeks. The devastation to Santa Rosa is heartbreaking, but what is heartening is that the community is really pulling together, and most of the city is intact, with stores open and services …

What kind of government does that sound like? One that has been corrupted by outdated Christian beliefs. Religion has no place in the government.

Also the one where the Chiefs defender was mauling the Raider’s receiver’s head. Looked like he was trying to choke him out in midair.

Yeah, but the anticipation!!! And then some guy in a neat black and white uni explaining what happened and who won? Excellent if you ask me. It’s like you’re combining the best parts of sports and a good courtroom drama!

Trump’s not rich.

I want to know the record for number untimed plays at the end of a game.

I actually appreciated that as an appropriate no call. The contact looked entirely incidental and Cooper’s right arm didn’t appear to be the proximate cause of Mitchell’s tumble. (It actually looked like Mitchell may have stepped on Cooper’s foot and that was the more proximate cause of his fall.)

Where did Andy Reid fail on clock management in that game? Especially since they tried running out the clock in their last possession, but Raiders just managed to force it to be a three and out.

It is now impossible to cheer after any fucking plays in the NFL because everything gets overturned or reviewed for 5 minutes.

Someone must know: what is the record for number of penalties called in a single drive that led to a TD? Without pretending to have a clue, I bet it happened in a game over the past 10-15 years. That is, about the time the league starting getting anal about such things as what constitutes a football move, and…

That was like a backyard finish when you were 10 and just made shit up to keep playing until you had to go inside for dinner.
