Arkansas is bad about this, too. We have people in our state legislature trying to make rules about what happens with our athletics who have never attended a class at the U of A. Only having one major sports program of any type in a state brings out the crazies.

I heavily encourage the board shorts idea. Not only do they provide coverage, it’s practicality is unequalled in most water situations. I used to coach wakeboarding in Texas and a lot of my clients had never tried it before. Any of the suits above would have me pulling out the extra pairs of boardshorts I kept in…

All of these look like an absolute nightmare for anything besides sitting perfectly still.

Only problem I have with this is putting others in danger. There is a consent element to extreme sports. If it’s just you, that’s one thing. The “but their family!?!” argument doesn’t hold water for me. We don’t get pissed off at NFL players for neglecting their family’s needs for their entire retirement when they’re…

Anyone with an internet connection can.

Meanwhile, a real estate developer’s handling our business in Iraq because his father-in-law is president.

I’d be shocked if they’re in front of soccer in 5 years. Especially with MLS expansion in traditional hockey markets.

I had one that I was told was 9-5. I quit shortly after a work trip where we got 5 hours of sleep per night for 8 days straight while being screamed at for the other 19 hours by a clueless CEO who openly called us all “replaceable.”

This. I regularly mingle with the C-Suite at national and international companies. Those people don’t want to golf. They don’t have the time to leave their office for 4 hours anymore. Shit’s busy.

Yeah I’d argue that the LGBTQ people who watched Dems accept a deal where they have to wait 3.5 years to have the same legal protections as their cis counterparts would not accept the notion that their human rights aren’t being violated. Also, under this law, if you’re a trans man, you don’t use the mens room. You use…

Compromise is cool and often needed, but human rights are not an area for compromise. If these communities aren’t protected for another 3.5 years, what’s the harm in fighting it very publicly until full repeal? What do you have to lose besides more revenue for the state which could be solved by the repeal.

This. There are literally so many idiots with votes you can’t do anything. As someone who comes from a state with a similar legislature, these idiot bills are LOVED back in the small-town districts where a massive chunk of these people come from. Outside of the 80k plus metro areas, these people go back to a hero’s…

We’ve been hearing xenophobic cries about how Obama was going to abide by Sharia law and all this bullshit. A conservative christian makes it to the executive office and refuses eat with members of the opposite gender and his wife does the same based on religious purposes. Same xenophobes defend him.

It’s like Baylor admins figured out they’re not going to be punished to the extent everyone knows they should, so they’re taking full advantage by being as awful as possible.

He looks like that guy from every southern state legislature who gets national attention for saying/doing something horrifically stupid.

Hip Hop is all basically protest music. His inability to go past the most popular rapper in the game and the only rapper to endorse trump tells me this guy didn’t do his due diligence on this one. I can’t tell you how many rappers I’ve seen in person over the past year, big and small, talking about black lives matter…

Americans keep asking why we can’t produce a world beater. We produce an 18 year old from Hershey, Pennsylvania (holy shit that’s American) who’s scoring and assisting at will in the UCL and Bundesliga. Former German legends like Lothar Matthaeus are heaping praise on him. Respected Bundesliga commentators call him…

Two quick notes,

God damn it I hate being from Arkansas sometimes.

Yeah.... this is not bad at all. Even in the links you provided I rolled my eyes hard at the hockey first name list, and the lacrosse list reads like a forbes top 50 under 25, but you literally change one vowel in half of these first names and you’re looking at a normal list of names or American names with immigrant…
