I'm sorry: was the "Trail of Tears" not a successful military campaign? Because I'm pretty sure as far as the Indian Wars in North America is concerned, yes: the U.S. won and as such, actions taken to remove those individuals and groups who did not wish to assimilate into Western culture is not something to grovel or…

It's controlling, but the partner could simply elect not to sign it. (At which point I would imagine the relationship would dissolve.)

Good on whoever wrote this contract and gave it to his partner.

This movie isn't THAT bad.

So basically you're getting trolled by 4chan and felt THIS was the best way to handle it?

There isn't a single Native American alive today who fought in the Indian Wars in North America.

Born in the middle of '84 in Los Angeles, 3rd birthday party was a man in a TMNT suit (Michelangelo off the top of my head), went to the opening weekend of the 1990 TMNT movie, watched the original cartoon religiously, had the toys, etc. Basically: TMNT consumer here.

This year's home plate rules - along with the Central Division, Wild Card, and Second Wild Card - are gay.

Seriously: is there a directive of some sort from the "parent" company of Deadspin and Jezebel?

I rarely use the word because I think it's unnecessary and petty as an insult, but what's wrong with celebrating free speech?

No worries. I tried to get too philosophical and a little out of my zone with the "who" versus "whom" in that sentence.

I'm a product of the public education system, what can I say?

It's a shared property so I'm only being semi-sarcastic. But yes: that's what everything about Rice's suspension the last few days reads like.

Kind of hard when the player is accused of triple murder and, oh yeah: sitting in a jail cell.

Why's Deadspin have its proverbial panties in a wad over Rice's suspension? Okay, he got a light punishment.

I just don't understand why the victim's actions can never be discussed.

From Washington Post article:

For a comparison in the line of reasoning here, think about complaints leveled against professional sports and the lack of black coaches viz-a-viz percentage of labor force is made up of black players.
