It’s funny how basketball players’ height always gets progressively more exaggerated. Kevin Durant is still the gold standard. Is he 6'9 or 7'1? Who knows! (Porzingis is the runner up.) Being 7 feet tall is enough! No need to add 3 more inches to it!

I think this website just sucks now. That’s the impression that I’m getting. Or maybe it always sucked and the revving up of presidential campaigns is bringing more clarity to it?

Certainly not defending a Gruden here, but I do wonder how much of it is Gruden not wanting Kaep vs. how much ownerships across the league are against Kaep.

Then Trump didn’t beat her; Trump beat us.

So should we call out the President’s lies or should we just let him do whatever he wants? We seem to be of two minds sometimes. I honestly don’t understand how you think Trump “beat” her here. At what? Being racist?

Bernie did have some issues with race. He tended to view racial issues through an economic prism rather than a “hey, black people used to be slaves and maybe we’re not completely over that national sin!” prism. It caused some deserved problems for him.

Per the Boston Globe:

I was possibly inelegant in my original comment up there. I wasn’t criticizing Bernie initially, but his more, um, let’s say, passionate supporters who jumped on every Clinton conspiracy ASAP.

I’m not a dyed-in-the-wool hater of either candidate, and I’m not eager to relive 2016 by any means, but that was some ugly, ugly shit in that campaign. It’s just a fact that Bernie had a lot of loud supporters who were very much not fair to Clinton. Hillary’s people were the same way to Bernie. And it’s going to be…

Ha! Fair. But if you don’t think Bernie nuts will latch onto this shit immediately following his announcing of another presidential run, then you don’t remember 2016. They will try to seek and destroy Warren first since she’s the only real challenger on the left right now.

I also don’t think she’s the last great candidate or anything of the sort. I’m not even sure I’d vote for her in a primary. I could very well see myself choosing Harris over Warren.

I just read it. I think Tallbear is heading in the wrong right from the start. She’s not using her ancestry in a fight against republicans. She’s just saying she has a Native ancestor, of which she’s proud, and that she’s sick of being ridiculed by racists over it.

You pretty much spelled it out. The issue is a stereotypical “liberals eating their own” non-story. That’s literally all it is.

No. We keep saying “there are more candidates” but every single time one comes up, we shit all over them and then repeat that there are more candidates anyway. Soon there won’t be any more candidates if we take good people and destroy them like this.

Because she and her family were called liars and she didn’t enjoy being called a racial slur every other day over it?

... what? When did she claim she was “member of a nation”? You’re just flat out making that up. You know that, right?

Seeing the rabid hatred over this specifically makes me borderline nauseous.

She’s not claiming Native culture. I said that word-for-word like two sentences later.

Ugh. Jesus Christ. Who cares? And no, “everyone” hasn’t been wondering. I, for instance, haven’t thought about this for a single second since it happened.

That’s clearly the argument they’re thinking. It’s wrong though.
