According to the linked AP story, the kid recently had a thorough work up at the NIH in Bethesda. Conclusion was 1) ‘perfect health’; 2) his height is ‘just genetics’ (both parents are extremely tall athletes); and 3) ‘eat pasta’—the above meal plan is NIH-prescribed. A bigger concern: This Italian basketball…

Ainge: Wait, he did WHAT?!?!

I’ve heard similar stories about other European countries. There’s plenty of problems with America, but near-universal freedom of speech, even for shitty thoughts like this asshole’s, is something I’m glad we have.

Legit question - can you be charged with a crime in Great Britain for what he said??

Those Canadian beaches are nice.

That’s Three 6 Latvia to you.

Works better for him . Ensures he doesn’t get Willis McGahee’d in his last game.

The only way this would have been any better is if he would have mentioned how idiotic it is that he isn’t paid anything.

Just put whatever dignity you have aside and admit that it’s funny his name is Rod Wood.

Can you get him on Kinja? All the other team presidents do it*!

Not telling the women he’s having unprotected sex with that he’s HIV+ is an extension of that whole woman beating thing imo.

People are mad about that? The collegiate sports machine exploits the shit out of it’s athletes. I hope him and his dad grabbed a fat check back. I hope every college athlete does. Squeeze those sports programs for every penny. Fuck em’.

You gravitate to deadspin since this place is a chamber of echoes and the only place that your opinion kind of matters (it doesn’t). If you’re white you can’t reconcile your own failures with the “privilege”…

I think they should only be allowed to celebrate with jerkoff motions

Remember, the real villain is the kid who takes a couple grand, not the coach and school who make millions off that kid’s labor.

They did WHAT?!?!?

That’s call capitalism. America’s built on that. Cam Newton is what’s great about America.

I’m...I’m kidding. I’ve never even talked to a woman.
