I’ve become more and more puzzled by this desire for self-selected exclusion and purity from people. It’s like some weird game of No True Scotsman gone insane, except instead of the people in the group excluding others, the people who want to join the group make a huge show of excluding themselves.

Not that it’s not…

Zionism necessarily entails the support of the Apartheid Israeli government and their racist policies.

Wrong- the only thing Zionism necessarily entails is the EXISTENCE of an Israeli government. I am and always have been highly critical of Bibi Netanyahu’s heavy-handed tactics. I think his record on certain issues, such as Palestinians, is awful.

5 years ago I was 23 and in college. I think I might have been using the internet at that point, “probs”.

Lol we? Are you on the team, man?

Lol that’s his personal title, and his personal letterhead. There’s nothing irregular or inappropriate about it.

I don’t think he’s going to get a job. He hasn’t been particularly good the last two years. So when teams look at a guy who probably isn’t start caliber who also protests, they see “a distraction.” And that’s without even bringing race into it.

Gosh, you guys seemed to care when LeBron et al came out on support of Hillary Clinton. It’s almost like you care when your side gets an endorsement and you don’t when the other side does. Im honestly jealous of the kind of balls it takes to just pretend you don’t do shit like that.

When you are willing to wrestle with possible economic considerations, I’m not sure that Roethlisberger and Floyd are comparable in terms of their publicity level and overall impact on the day-in-day-out loyalty from their team’s fans that generate the dollars.

Eh, most sports analysis I’ve seen (mainly from Only a Game), even prior to his protest, was that he was a mediocre player on the downswing. While nobody says outright that he probably only started kneeling because he needed to become the golden calf of some constituency to make up for his actual playing ability, it’s…

sorry, I just don’t buy this. I think he is firmly entrenched himself in the “Tebow mold”.

I’ll tackle why he doesn’t have a job from two sides. The football side and the social issue side.

I don’t know whether or not he is being blacklisted for the protest stuff, but I do know he has been stinking up the football field ever since he lost in the super bowl.... and he doesn’t really have that “game manager” playing style you might look for in a backup.

As I understand it based on what I’ve read elsewhere, it’s not illegal to ask the question. It’s illegal to use the answer as a factor. So places less sneaky than Big Law tell people not to ask the question.

With a one year clerkship though, don’t you think it might be a bit problematic if a clerk gets hired and she can’t complete the term because she’ll be out the last 2 or 3 months?

Well, no. It’s not illegal to ask. It’s illegal to use the answer to that question to determine hire-ability.

Someone on the Facebook page mentioned a 20% discount for Huntington Beach residents which would certainly change this story if true.

Waaaaahhhh! Men are everywhere! Terrible, terrible men!

Music fests are a dime a dozen. Who cares if one is male leaning. Seriously, is this the hill you want to die on? (And, no, I would not go near this fest even if you paid me. There isn’t a single act that I would want to see. Luckily, like I said there are a ton of other festivals for me to choose from.)
