Well, of course! The guy who was mercilessly raping children and threatening to destroy the careers of anyone who got in his way was white a clean cut throwback to days of old!  

I wonder where you read in my comment that “Football is fine” or anything. Boxing is just worse. 

“Clean cut young men and women” - Really, though? Sounds like this guy is from an era before women even got to play college sports.

New corporate naming partner: Spirit Airlines Arena.

At what point do we just say boxing shouldn’t be a thing anymore?  I wonder if in 50 years people will look back in disbelief that this sport even existed in the 21st century.

Capitalists love to use this idea of a “gig economy” as some kind of freedom for those who are willing to just “work hard.” That idea is a con that pits workers against one another in a never-ending battle to see who is willing to do a job for the least amount of money.

Nobody expected Blizzard to do the right thing. They just didn’t expect Blizzard to proactively do the wrong thing on behalf of the Chinese government. It’s a line too far as far as I’m concerned. 

Yes. Just like we’d expect them to not throw in with the slave or weapons trade because they’re profitable.

Correct, yes, they should not be operating in China if China requires them to be complicit in totalitarianism.

SO much wealthy white privilege it’s BLINDING.
