Unfortunately he was likely shot by either his own gun, or another black male, judging by where the shooting occurred. It is a damn shame. This man put himself on the line to stand up for black people, only to either shoot himself accidentally, or to be shot by another black man. This is why we need Black Lives…

Dion Waiters has the EXACT SAME reaction as me. Jumping up and down for joy, then sitting down and crying realizing we had finally done it. I called my dad and cried with him over the phone. We both have waited our entire lives for this.

False equivalence. This group had the opportunity to reschedule their event to a time that would maximize exposure. They chose to go head to head with the super bowl. That was negligent on their part.

False equivalence. One involves a violent unexpected act perpetrated against women. The other involves a group being negligent in scheduling their press conference resulting in minimal media coverage. Using such over dramatic comparisons weakens the point you are trying to make.

Hey I have one of the authors responding to my comment! EVen though you are pissed at me, that is still pretty damned cool!

It will open bigger than Homecoming. This movie has a ton of hype behind it. And the trailers for this movie absolutely blow away the trailers for Homecoming. And if word of mouth is to be believed, this is a great movie, which means it will have legs.

Its going to open huge. Last movie I saw in theaters was Civil War. I will be seeing this in theaters. The movie looks absolutely incredible, from the trailers I have seen. And I have heard Killmonger is one of, if not the best, villains in a Marvel Movie to date. Plus, Coogler is easily one of my favorite up and…

I can’t imagine how nuts it is out there hosting the super bowl. I wish Philly would get to host the game.

I have a strong feeling that you are a troll attempting to discredit feminism by acting as extreme as possible. If so, get a life. If not, there is no reason for name calling in response to my reasonable point. I’m in no way arguing that domestic violence against women is not a serious problem. Unfortunately it still…

Great point. I remember those articles well. It brought attention to a very real problem, in a way that reached millions of people.

Come now, don’t be ridiculous. Its not as if the NFL decided to host the super bowl in Minnesota just to spite these women. The super bowl has been scheduled for this week years in advance. These organizations knew that they were scheduling their press conference when the media’s attention would be focused elsewhere.…

Thats true to a degree. However, I would argue that it is certainly something that people are concerned about. And again, it isn’t at the top of the list THIS WEEK. Because Minnesota is hosting the biggest sporting even of the year, something they only get the opportunity to do once every twenty or so years. This…

I didn’t know that! I just learned something new! I know the new stadium is a major point of pride for Minnesota. And I don’t want to sound like I don’t care about violence against women. Of course it should be focused on. I just don’t understand why it couldn’t have been rescheduled so that it could get the full…

Thats Burneko. He can eat a bag of crow dick, and Ill never let him forget it

I mean, to be fair, this is the first time Minnesotta has ever hosted a super bowl (I think). These women knew that, and chose to hold their press conference any way. They could have held it two weeks ago, and the press would have been there. They could have held it in a week and a half, and the press would have been…

Effete hipsters who are averse to contact sports, because they were too scared to play them when they were younger? To be fair that is only about 1/3 of the site.

Imagine how frustrating it would be to be blackmailed and falsely accused. Were I him, I would not be nearly as composed.

Agreed 100%. Anyone who falsely and maliciously accuses another person of a crime should be punished with the same exact sentence that the accused would face. It is truly despicable to falsely accuse somebody of a crime. Women like this discredit many legitimate accusers. If he was facing years in jail, she should…

Comparing Simmons to MCW is pure unadulterated ignorance. They are completely different players. Simmons is an explosive athlete who can blow past defenders in 1 on 1 situations. He also has vision and playmaking skills light years ahead of MCW. C’mon man, do better.

To be fair, his FT percentage has improved some from his absolutely abysmal start to the year.
