Agreed, though an important component for many kids like my cousin is the aspect of physical exertion and competition that groups like choir or mathletics do not provide, which is why I listed sports like basketball and track, which he did participate in, though sadly football was his biggest love. I thought his true…

Eh, idk man. The same violent mentality is present - my younger cousin played four years of “varsity” football for his tiny Class D (The smallest class, in Maine!) football team, and going to virtually every game and many practices, the sport just shouldn’t exist. Every season involved no less than half a dozen…

In football, you win by giving EVERYONE a series of very small brain injuries for a very long time, and only occasionally a traumatic one.

It kinda does invalidate him for me. If you’re going to posit yourself as a progressive, thoughtful champion of justice, why would you draw the line here?  It's so blatantly obvious, $$$.  And that's what's galling, regardless if your age or cynicism.

god forbid the echo chamber becomes slightly less echo-y

My favorite is the woman wearing a Skins hat, but a Brady jersey. Way to hedge your bets!.

Bostonians drowning out fans of the home team is a proud Maryland tradition.

We’re just stealing twitter posts now?

It’s DC-Virginia - 30% of those Pats fans had RG3 jerseys six years ago.

Sondland is a political appointee and a large Trump campaign contributor. Also, he’s Ambassador to the EU, of which Ukraine is not a member.

This doesn’t strike me as anything exceptionally salacious. I would expect the same thing of most institutions or workplaces that don't want to stir the shit.

Claressa Can't Explain It All

What?!? What the actual fuck are these people doing? WHY SHOULD ANYONE HAVE TO PAY $47,000 to go to school there?!?!

I would watch this

I keep hoping they’ll do the movie version of Fate of Atlantis the video game. It was an awesome story with good locations. They’d just need to convert it to a script. Boom.
