Or words are offensive because they are offensive and said with an offensive intent. Like when someone who isn’t black calls my girlfriend a nigger, it offends her.

“Ass fat, can I take it out them jeans? Lemme know”

Who is “we”? Not all Irish people have the same outlook as you. It’s an ethnic slur that is not looked upon very kindly by many.

These fouls do happen throughout the game (think stopping a defender from scoring on a breakaway)

Well it’s the choice of one team to intentionally foul. These fouls do happen throughout the game (think stopping a defender from scoring on a breakaway). Lastly, when’s the last time a team committed to the ground game to run out the clock in the 4th Q had an exceptionally exciting, SportsCenter Top 10-type play?

“The only problem I have left is he’s telling St Louis to take a hike when so much is still owed on the Edward Jones Dome”

In all seriousness, what is the small tweak Draper is talking about here? The article he links to in this area explains that the NBA wouldn’t be voting for a change, but doesn’t describe what that change would be.

You do know it’s possible for a daughter to rape her father, right?

Well there’s supposedly video of her consenting, so there’s that.

I’ve never read a Deadspin article relating to domestic violence that read so much like an AP story. Nothing here beyond “just the facts” that would lay into Barnes and his stupid, childish, misogynistic mindset.

Shaq routinely dunked on mortal men much smaller and lighter than he. Shaq was a beast who would then stare down the mortal he dunked on. This happened a lot. Nobody from Deadspin ever thought that was weird. Why is it weird when this guy does it?

All white players too. Way to fit your narrative! But you probably aren’t the type to harbour biases about people based on race, right?

Damn Wade can be a bitch. Whiteside is playing for a ho-hum team in January and wants to make sure a vital part of his body’s basketball ability is healed before coming back to action. He’s still young with a lucrative future ahead of him. Why exactly should he be pushing that injured knee?

Guy took one of the storied NFL franchises to two super bowl victories, but let’s remember him through gifs of him looking upset on the sideline.

Yes, “they” are so enthusiastic aren’t they? Doesn’t it make you feel so cool that you enjoy “their” style of announcing? Quick, let’s try to marginalize them even more!

Yes right! It’s like, I love when people from outside cultures use and stereotype the announcing styles of foreign people’s for the dominant culture’s joy and entertainment! Let’s keep doing that in this progressive space!

“Maybe he’s a racist”

Yeah, the Trumo supporters must be.

I’m glad Deadspin just posted that article about how great it was to Rondo back in action too.

“Man, these dudes were conforming to Irish stereotypes hard”.
