THANK YOU. Someone needs to stand up for Michael Jordan every once in a while. He was good at basketball!

THE WARRIORS ARE OVERRATED THEY ALWAYS GET TO PLAY TEAMS WHO SMOKE WEED.

-some dipshit hot take next week

That’s a lot of words to defend giving Tristan Thompson the exact same deal Draymond Green has (look it up - it’s true!).

Bottom line is overpaying players is bad and ends up biting you in the ass. You can write all the words you want to pretend otherwise but it’s pretty simple.

It’s almost like that exactly play happens ALL THE TIME and people were just whining about it out of bias!

Ummm...the mascot is the “fighting Irish”. The point that it’s a goofy caricature makes it even more racist. Or, at least it would if it were not a white guy. You have belligerent cartoon white guys as your mascot all day long and Outraged White Liberals don’t seem to care.

It’s a tough decision. On one side, you have 80 years of tradition, one of the most recognizable emblems in baseball, and tens of millions in merchandise sales.

It would be cheaper to do your thing. Hosting a pre-show game would add very little additional cost to the NBA event. You already have the building, the ushers, the concessions, etc etc. Compare that to the cost of renting a huge arena and filling it with staff, prepping it, etc in exchange for a few thousand sold…

That’s a really good point! Tennis has a model that works, and almost nobody thinks of it as sexist even though the women play shorter “games” and almost always have the lead-in slot to the big men’s matches.

His proposal likely saves the NBA owners money (and keep in mind they do subsidize the money-losing WNBA). The cost of hosting an event in a huge arena and selling a few thousand tickets on average is almost surely less than making everything a pre-show for a NBA game.

ummm...the WNBA is a vestigal appendage of the NBA. The NBA attaches WNBA TV deals, WNBA season ticket packages, etc to the NBA versions of these things that people actually want. That is the only reason the WNBA still exists.

College sports have a built-in fanbase. People cheer for the college’s “brand”, regardless of the sport. Same goes with the Olympics - if they tell us that the USA is counting on women’s handball to give us the medal advantage over China, we suddenly start to care about women’s handball.

Not true. “I need to run from the shitstorm or else I will get covered in shit” has the same appeal it did 50 years ago. Being covered in shit hasn’t gotten any more attractive to a politician.

You SHOULD like them. They’re $500! In fact, you should LOVE them, 2x as much as any other shoe on the planet.

If you are paying attention to it, you can easily pee in a public men’s bathroom without touching anything with your hands. You pull out your junk touching only your pants/underwear, then use a forearm for the flush, or don’t flush at all. If I do this, there is absolutely no reason to wash my hands, other than…

Yeah man - why didn’t he just PAY for his college like all the other athletes do?

What Ball is asking is crazy. He clearly is terrible at branding, AND will be a humongous pain to work with because he doesn’t acknowledge he’s terrible at branding. I have zero confidence in the Lonzo shoe being remotely decent if LaVar Ball leads the development of it, and that’s clearly what he will be doing. …

OK - I’m convinced now that Jumblebums is a troll. Nobody can be this big of a douchebag, right?

People do office pranks on each other ALL THE TIME. Oh wait, I’m sorry - I mean they bully each other by fucking with each other’s minds ceaselessly, destroying productivity and peace of mind.

omfg dude. You sound like you’d be great fun at a party.

Exactly. They have found a weakness in the left, in that they can’t seem to tolerate people from the far right. And liberals don’t seem to realize that discriminating against extreme conservatives is the same thing as any other discrimination - it’s wrong and unconstitutional. So liberals fall into the trap, act…
