And conservatives who are too scared to even drive through a city love him because he’s a black person who calls other black people animals.

As I mentioned in another comment, I’m from the Milwaukee area. This definitely isn’t true. Perhaps this might be true of rural Wisconsin, but definitely not the Milwaukee County area.

I’m from the Milwaukee area. One thing to keep in mind is that the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office is rather redundant and somewhat impotent. The various municipality police departments do the vast majority of law enforcement and investigation in the area.

I didn’t know all that, but I have friends who actually ride and raise horses and are into country living that are less flamboyant about it than he is. Even if he was raised in it and it’s a facet of his personality, he’s definitely playing up the old west lawman stuff for publicity and to appeal to a certain group of…

He’s a black man from Milwaukee who wears cowboy hats and rides around on horses a lot. That’s not normal.

It’d be impressive if idiots like you refuted what’s being said about Clarke rather than pointing out that multiple outlets agree that his record is extremely troubling.

This is a typical, nuance-free sports thing we’re doing.

No lawyer takes half a settlement. The attorneys fees total came out to $400k, roughly 30%. Which is a typical amount. If any attorneys offers to take 50% on contingency, that’s a total ripoff.

First off, the attorneys on this case worked for 3 years on this case.

See the criticism of consumer class actions drives me nuts.

Imagine if a company that sells 10,000,000 units of a product per year, cheats each customer by 15 cents. The company will make $1.5M through it’s illegal actions. If we didn’t have consumer class actions, there’s really no reason for the company not to do…

Based on what? You go after what you can get, accounting for the risks. They managed to win what the employees would have gotten if they were paid minimum wage, overtime wages, AND compensation for necessary expenses on the job. That’s a virtual complete win from a labor law perspective.

Generally 25-30% fee is what’s taken by plaintiff’s attorneys if it’s on a contingency basis. You generally don’t charge hourly AND take a percentage of the judgment—unless, it’s a sharply reduced percentage (hourly fee + 5% or something along those lines).

It’s pathetic to delude yourself into thinking a magical deadline trade will turn both Lebron and Golden State into victories. That’s an extremely unlikely parlay to hit, so if you have valuable future assets (like another team in their division) it doesn’t make sense to trade them away for a short-term longshot.

Lebron just beat the best regular season team in history. I’m not sure Ainge can trade his way past Lebron....

You’re right those trades worked for the raptors.

That’s why discussing salaries is a firable offense.

like most pubs, it was bleeding money for years prior to layoffs. layoffs don’t change the fact that the pub doesn’t make money. having a union isn’t going to change it eitehr

This is the attitude Republicans want us to have — my compensation is shitty so I’m going prevent other people from getting paid. Getting us to fight over crumbs.

Emma, if you’ll excuse us, we would like a man to explain how baseball works, thanks

Oh, it’s that guy. Hello, that guy.
