There’s no such thing as “stick to sports” because sports and politics are intertwined and have been in modern American history. To pretend that any host can “stick to sports” or “ignore pure politics” is idiotic. And the reason ESPN is pushing that isn’t because it hurt their ratings but because of the narrative that…

If Tim Tebow was on ESPN and was pushing anti-abortion and far right religious preachings would any of us like that?

This take would make a lot more sense and not look nearly as craven if ESPN didn’t have interminably long “salute to service!” horseshit, or broadcast from aircraft carriers, or any of the other billion ways they glorify military interventions overseas. But of course there’s nothing political about our multiple…

Denouncing racism and bigotry unequivocally ≠ talking about politics

I mean it’d be a little easier if we weren’t running the textbook definition of concentration camps, having our President use old KKK slogans while inject himself into the sporting world on a regular basis.  I would love to go back to the times where I could go into a sports bubble and ignore other aspects, but that…

I can answer the first question, because that’s one of mechanics and not policy.

If you need a thesaurus for feckless and craven, you really shouldn’t be passing judgment on people who don’t.

First rule of being a feckless suit: you don't talk about being a feckless suit.

when the nation’s federal government has been hijacked by a minority faction of hillbilly fascists, yes. everything. how can you advocate otherwise? 

THIS.

It’s also important to keep reminding ourselves that this isn’t some free-form, amorphous center vs. left debate. It came about for a very specific reason: about 90 progressives, Reps. Omar, Ocasio-Cortez, Pressley and Tlaib among them, voted against a deal advocated by the Blue Dog and Problem Solvers’ Caucus to…

Any voter that considers themselves Democrat must make a clear cut decision at this stage:

Are you still willing to accept the convoluted compromises of the old guard?

Before you answer - No, I am not a fresh faced millennial with big dreams. I was alive and squinting at the television when Bill Clinton and the DNC…

I have to say, I think it’s time for Pelosi and the rest of the old Dem guard to go. If we had a House filled with people like AOC, Tlaib, Omar, and Pressley, Donald would be waist-deep in impeachment by now. We can’t afford centrism anymore. The planet literally can’t take any more Republican dominance and their centr…

This is the most idiotic insult. Black people got kidnapped and their blood built the wealth of this nation. America is theirs as much as it is anybody else’s if not more so. 

Not just progressives anymore, if my network of centrist red state Democrats are any indication. She is losing the benefit of the doubt among everyone. The hiding and playing it cool and “going high” and compromising is pissing EVERYONE off. Trump was a think that managed to get centrists’ attention. They fucking hate…

Pelosi needs to go on the attack on this one, and needs to go for the throat.

Who still has hope?!?

All hope is gone. 

Pelosi is part of the #assistance. What is very telling about Pelosi is that she only attacks Trump when it comes to being racist — which is the bare minimum that makes her seem ‘tough’ — but doesn’t attack Trump when it comes to his corruption or policies. This is a way to seem like she is fighting without actually…

Can we agree this affirms that this president is a white nationalist? Seems pretty cut and dry by this stage, but there are still some people that are hesitant to call a racist spade a racist spade.
