Uhh...I think you’ve assumed too much here, my pal. The origin of this rumor is a single line in a story from New Zealand. No one is actually trying to backdoor their way anywhere.

True, this anecdote definitely takes precedence over all the data to the contrary.

Did I miss the part of the video where they shot her a bunch of times?

this feels forced

Conservatives:
My business is successful because of my personal accomplishments.
My business failed because of your politics.

Insulated as they are from the financial repercussions of their decisions, the oligarchs who own NFL teams can take snap decisions like this, on a whim. Their stadiums are sold out, they each get a huge, equitable chunk of TV money that covers their operating expenses and guarantee profits. Sure they want to win, but…

Why would a warrant be issued at all? I’m sure you can go to Virginia and find all sorts of crime that people wished was solved and pursued. Here is an alleged “trace” of narcotics on luggage...which has passed through all sorts of hands and storage...if it is indeed even her item at all. You can’t get a cop to pursue…

Any time I hear the “don’t bring politics to work” argument, I’m reminded of how not so long ago it was 100% in vogue for conservatives to LOVE that sort of thing...

Especially when every comment thread about the protests contains someone saying, “If I did this at my job I’d get fired. Why should it be any different on a football field.” You can’t have it both ways.

Dude walked off the job in the most literal sense, and is worried about getting blackballed? Whoever assigns/hires the refs for high school football probably ranks “might not actually work” pretty among the reasons not to give someone a game I would think.

Doing slant eyes is pretty universally shitty and racist, bud.

Having enough money to buy an NFL team, does not mean that you know how to run an NFL team... The Texans are the only NFL team to have never played in a conference championship.

Hey snowflake, if wanting racial and gender equality makes me a social justice warrior, sign me up. Hell, sounds better than “bitch-ass bigot.”

My interpretation of that is that girls are supposed to wait until spring when their team plays, which she obviously doesn’t have. Are you reading this as the girls who play in the fall that qualify for the boys state tournament automatically qualify for the girls individual tournament?

Just wondering if you read the above article about Purdue that this Californian gentleman was commenting on.

The primary goal is presumably to prevent boys from parachuting into the girls’ tourneys. So the best way to do it would be to have an open tournament and a girls-only tournament, a la the NBA and WNBA. A woman could play her way onto an NBA team, but a man can’t go the other way. But I’m not sure about the legality…

Grant Wahl, not as much.

Ben Reiter is going nuts right now (For those that can’t see it, this was the cover of the June 30, 2014 issue of SI)

This is all fine and we’ll, but let’s keep in mind we are talking about Dusty Baker here. The latest in the Nationals attempt to hire every manager in history that can’t win with loads of talent. (Remember Davy Johnson? That guy had the mid 80's Mets and only won one World Series. How guys who can’t win with the most…

Look, he was clogging up the coachpaths
