But hey, no Matt Lauer. That’s something.

Britt McHenry was flat out ROBBED.

One thing I want to re-emphasize in reply to this is that we have no idea if the bulk of that $89 million is new money. The league can just take it out of its already-planned charitable budget. Or its ad budget.

You can certainly qualm that, but I do feel pretty cynical about an owner spending a total of $1.75 million, with nothing to stop them from (metaphorically, but not overly so) spending it on an ad campaign saying “The NFL: Look how much we care about black people.”

Holy shit the NFL is stupid. First of all, the players aren’t protesting the NFL’s not giving enough money to certain charities. The players aren’t protesting the NFL AT ALL.

“You sure about that?”

Sit these shitheads down for the season. And who wears a chain on the football field?

I tend to see two arguments to the Okafor situation, which completely contridict eachother.

1. He’s terrible.
2. They don’t want him to hurt the Sixers if he goes to a contender.
3. The sometimes mentioned issue, which I find incredibly humorous, is his durability. On a team with Joel Embiid. (I, much like every other…
