So, how many sports writers who were furious that Yoenis Cespedes played golf during the playoffs and drove a nice car to spring training will try to give a pass to Bumgarner because he’s a good ol’ Country Boy?

I feel like a lot of white liberals are slowly realizing what so many black liberals tried to tell them throughout the entire campaign: Bernie Sanders is an insufferable dick who thinks that middle class white men are the only voters who matter.
This is terrible news for the Celtics, because now it’ll be extra embarrassing when they lose this series anyway.
The type of kid who scores through the roof on the Wonderlic Test, which is a test of how willing you are to lick women without their permission.
Yup, a real lunch pail kid. A coach’s son.
On 30 Rock, Tina Fey had Jane Krakowski wear blackface multiple times. On Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Krakowski, a white woman, plays a Native American. And in her book Bossy Pants, Fey talked about how her dad taught her that whenever they saw black kids in their neighborhood, they were just there to steal bikes.
It’s not a binary, but you’re trying to make it one in order to defend a flawed point. You can say someone is potentially doing a good thing while also acknowledging they were willfully ignorant about the privilege they’ve received for decades. It’s not “sneering”, it’s calling out someone’s years of bullshit.
Can you show me where I said to reject it? Can you show me where the writer of this blog said to reject it?
Blog refuses to congratulate white man for coming to a very basic realization about his privilege several decades later than he should have, commenters get mad.
So Phil Jackson ruined his team, habitually shits on him publicly, said racially insensitive shit about one of his best friends, and ruined his marriage.
OKC has definitely rallied behind that team... but we haven’t seen them suck yet. So I’m not willing to buy the idea of them being “great fans” compared to other NBA cities just yet. Will they still be really enthusiastic when that team is garbage for four or five years?
Maybe this is a stupid question, but wasn’t one of the arguments from the prosecution in the Odin Lloyd trial that he killed Lloyd in part because he knew about these murders? And if that’s true, does that now call into question that decision?
I think the only person who knew was Kevin Long, but even that may have just been his own ego. “Guys, Murphy is going to be great now. Trust me. I fixed him.”
And the only reason the Nationals signed him was because Brandon Phillips vetoed a trade that would have sent him to Washington. He was their second choice behind Brandon Fucking Phillips. And at the time, that was completely understandable.
That was the worst Zach Lowe column I’ve ever read. Not because he chose Leonard as the MVP — I disagree, but that’s not what matters — but because half the column seemed like an argument against his own point. It was as if he decided to choose Leonard, talked himself out of it while writing the piece, then chose to…
Conforto and Schwarber were the two can’t miss college prospects in the 2014 draft. They were the two highest selected college position players in that draft. They’ve both played in a World Series and both looked like they project to be outstanding hitters. And yet Schwarber plays every day and Conforto doesn’t. It…
My hope is that Jay Bruce plays well enough that they can get something decent for him in a June trade and then play Conforto every day. Worst case scenario, he doesn’t get into the everyday lineup until next year when Granderson is off the books.
When I saw Conforto was leading off last night I was stunned that Collins actually made the non-conventional but objectively smart decision.
