Is his show set in front of a green screen? Does he not have access to an actual office?

What’s wrong with just removing the NCAA’s ban on paying athletes? Leave it up to schools to decide who to pay and how much to pay them and how to do so in a way that complies with Title IX and whatever other laws are applicable. I get the appeal of proposing some sort of detailed system, but it just invites…

And I neither suggested you were against parental leave nor suggested I was for it (though I very much am). My point (perhaps poorly made?) was that you shouldn’t look at the end individual beneficiary when comparing two (real or potential) social programs; you should instead look at the program as a whole and ask…

Because people having children is (generally viewed as) a good thing for society and social programs (like paid parental leave) are designed to make socially beneficial activites somewhat easier, which necessarily comes at the expense of everyone who doesn’t partake of those services. If you want to equate it with…

At the risk of killing a dead joke, I get the character’s motivation for the blackface, I just think it’s odd that the time he wears blackface is also the time he gets assaulted. That’s sort of what we’d expect given the world today (and yesterday and for forever), but there’s no connection made between the two that I…

I guess. I just don’t see what’s any different if you skip the blackface.

I have no issue with the use of blackface here, though I’m not sure I understand the point/joke. Like, why did he get so agressively assaulted at the end? Not because he’s black, because his costume fools nothing. For just wearing blackface? Or just going through too many times? I feel like there’s a message here or a…

Why would they care if they got fired? They’ve already got a new job lined up and maybe (though probably not, in these circumstances) there’d be some sort of severance.

I guess it’s hard to tell exactly how far away he is at the snap, but I’d guess it’s under 1 yard (or at least that’s the goal) and I think the “in motion” refers to the kicking team (or at least that’s the only time I’ve heard that terminology). If this is the only applicable rule (and there aren’t relevant…

I’m sure it’s not illegal since no one on the internet seems to think it is, but does this not fall afoul of the prohibition on lining up directly across from the long snapper? Because he’s not in a three point stance? Because he doesn’t make contact?

She didn’t say one word about the NFLPA or the reduction in his suspension. You didn’t actually watch the clip, did you?

Does he have a nose? That’s by far the creepiest part of this.

“So innocent until proven guilty is meaningless in your eyes?” That’s not what he said. He said he believes her account, but that’s only one piece of evidence and probably not enough to find guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

You can “believe her till she is proven factually inaccurate” without also believing Kane is guilty, much less that he should be convicted. Her testimony is just one piece of evidence and certainly not enough to get a conviction with anything like a competent defense.

The whole point of this article is that he’s much, much better than the other options the Seahawks have. Sure he’s replaceable, but maybe the Seahawks would rather spend an extra $800k than live with his replacement. He’s betting they will.

Is it the recommended method? No. Does it happen more or less daily? Yes. Is the kid entirely fine? Also yes.

It’s not a scheme, it’s just an explanation of how coupons (aka scholarships) work. The reason (or at least, a reason) it isn’t happening in the real world is that the assumption it relies on (that absent the coupon you wouldn’t sell another unit of your product) doesn’t often (or ever) apply in the real world. Think…

Why would it need to be more profitable than a men’s alternative? Can’t you have both? Football was cut ostensibly because the Title IX requirements of supporting the bowling team outweighed the profits from football. If bowling actually makes the school money, who cares how much it makes relative to football?

The intentional sloppiness makes sense where the scam eventually requires effort on the part of the scammer so that they don’t waste that effort on someone who will eventually catch on. Here, where it appears the whole scam is just collecting entry fees, that doesn’t really make sense. So the scammers are idiots, but…
