The media jumped on the reporting about Dao because the info is available and they need to keep a steady stream of related articles out there to get the clicks. They’d have to do actual legwork and put in some time to track down the officers who dragged the guy off the plane.

Luckily, the row behind the Sixers’ bench is already set up to acccomodate seven footers in street clothes.

And that’s why “moderates” are absolutely as culpable for the current state of affairs as the left and the right. They’re so desperate to maintain their illusion that “both sides are the same” that they see the right’s fears that Obama would do things that they completely made up themselves and the left’s fears that…

There are three other factors that need to be considered. First gerrymandering inherently makes it so that more extreme/partisan candidates get elected. The Republicans are better at it, and have more heavily gerrymandered seats, so they’re the ones who get pushed further out of control. Which feeds back into the…

Great article. I refuse to watch it, just like I avoid most of the other violent spectacles against black bodies but this is a conversation black America needs to have with itself. We can’t demand everyone else’s respect when we don’t treasure and respect our girls with the same ferocity as white folks (well maybe…

I love Deadspin.

I thought Al Kaline water was mostly bourbon.

Oladipo, Adams and Kanter are all above average players and Gibson is an average starter. Adams with pretty much any other PG would average 15 and 12 and Oladipo 17, Kanter 20. Salonis is a keeper and mcbuckets can shoot the three, good enough for at least a quality bench player. And Gibson, Adams and Oladipo play…

Last night summed up why he isn’t the MVP. He took almost half of his team’s shots as the PG, effectively freezing out his teammates, and then completely choked the game away in the last minute. In the last four games he has lost to Portland twice, Dallas and Phx. Lebron with Earl Boykins as his starting PG might lose…

No, like all food, tacos are supposed to be delicious. And these are some crazy delicious tacos, man.

I like him defending his QB, who actually put up good numbers during the 6 games he played. They won 3, lost 3.

I hold a lot of anger at the media. I guess I’m the left wing opposite side of the coin of the cray cray right wingers who rant against the media. So few journalists called Trump out on his lying shit. He continually lied about the unemployment rate, foreign policy, etc. and instead of calling him out as a lying…

I agree. I refuse to panic and give in to the Shock Doctrine. Hold the Line, People!

People did show up to vote though, so enough with the tired should’ve-fought-harder mentality. She had the third highest turnout (number of votes cast) of any primary candidate ever. The first two highest turnouts are held by Obama.

I really truly want to ask the Sanders, Stein, Johnson, all-around anti-Hillary voters if it was worth it. Like, standing there waiting in line to vote ( or just sitting at home) knowing there was a very strong possibility that American democracy would be dismantled, did they ever consider just sucking it up and…

So much fucking smoke. Eye on the ball. The question is fucking simple: when you were presented with the choice between Clinton or Trump what did you do? Did you whine like a little bitch and stay home crying with your Bernie bro friends on /r/sandersforpresident? Did you boldly make a statement and protest vote for…

How about Dwight Howard then? He is a post player who had some help I guess and at least made a move. Cousins gets a pass on this stuff and the excuse is always given to him by coaches, teammates, front office and even city. At some point you gotta look and say even with Melo or Howard “This guy comes with a massive…

I guess. Cousins hasn’t done jack shit either. Melo dragged some seriously bad Nuggets teams to the playoffs before they got their roster together. I feel like Cousins has pissed and moaned his way around while not producing a fucking thing, thus lowering his trade value.

“Spurious claims” like “People call us niggers and monkeys, and the cops harass us for being black in an area that is mostly white.”

Shut the fuck up. This comment has a tldr, a “stupid millenial, stop trying to do something about racism,” and tells a black guy he doesn’t know what inequality looks like. It also is unreadable. jesus
