one of the values of sport is to level the playing field when someone is born with an advantage? so should Mike Trout have to play with a heavier bat than everyone else? should Messi have to play with weights tied to his ankles? should we just turn into Harrison Bergeron?

One of the related links is to an old article about the way women don’t do as well at trying to negotiate higher salaries. I’ve always found the idea of negotiating salary kind of baffling—is that something other ladies on here find normal? Maybe I just suck or maybe it’s the industries I’ve worked in (publishing and…

Yes, and hip-hop continues to steal from techno to make their beats.

This seems... overblown. Even for Splinter. In the quote provided, he’s not really calling anyone slaves, just saying we’re a really divided nation like when we were so divided we had a civil war. It’s a metaphor, and it’s not great, but it’s not really wrong when you look at the rhetoric we see (especially from the…

It’s irritating to me when people spout off about Democrats being spineless, cryptoconservative drones, but it’s more irritating when Democrats…

This !!! Why dont you have more stars????

This is what you wrote———- And what does it matter if he ‘only’ did it once? He’s ruined that woman’s life, and yet he still didn’t pay for the harm caused.

I’m not making any judgement on Bryant’s guilt or innocence here, or whether he was the victim of systemic police racism, but I don’t see what relevancy there is to the fact that Bryant’s record is otherwise clean.

While I don’t think Kobe’s accuser is lying, by Bryant’s own admission, or that there was a vast conspiracy to frame him, it is worth noting that Kobe Bryant faced far more media scorn and legal scrutiny for his sexual transgressions than any famous white guy I can think of off the top of my head. I’m sure I’m…

This guy gets it

The entirely rich, white population of Vail thought he did it? WOW thats insightful.
