The problem is the headline implies that someone suffered a rash due to some fault of the Mets or the sleepover. The reality was that this guy apparently has an unusual allergy to what is a very common material and didn't know it. It would be like putting up a headline that says 'customer sickened after eating at…

clickbait headline smh

And no I'm not defending these guys but this is exactly what they lawyer was trying to say and I'm not sure but it sounds like you missed his point. The sex act was not illegal; the video was filmed with her consent as well. She is old enough to consent to sex but not to a sex tape? OK I buy that since sex tapes can…

So the 15 year old went to the hotel room with her friends. No information about being drugged or otherwise impaired. Allowed them to video tape her while performing sexual acts and the hockey players are at fault for not asking for I.D.? It sounds to me like the 15 year old knew exactly what she was doing. Let's here…

Way to totally misrepresent the story and do zero legal research for your article....kudos! The premise of the Sexual Performance statute is that a minor does not have the capacity to "consent", so hence whether or not there was consent does not matter. However, since the Age of Consent statute in Minnesota allows…

Threatening to punch a man in the face by a proud woman of color, such harmlessness. Her getting any crap is purely sexist racism from the white man.

You are what's wrong with America, happy to be squished under the boot of big government. Having a badge doesn't give the cop the right to assault someone. Standing in that situation wasn't causing any issues so ordering him to sit was unnecessary. Just because a cop asks you to do something doesn't mean you have to…

All we need is Jerry Springer to moderate this on a live prime time special

UPDATE: Discussion about this piece has turned into an argument about whether Max Temkin has a right defend himself, especially if he is wrongly accused. Of course he does, and I never meant to imply that he does not. He and his accuser are both innocent until proven guilty. They both deserve empathy and none of us…

This is complete bullshit. If he didn't rape someone, he should absolutely defend himself. People are raped and it's horrible, but people are also falsely accused and that's also an injustice. These things come down to pure "he said, she said" and that's what makes them so difficult, but an innocent person…

Using those metrics, I think calling MLS a 5th tier league is about right.

I think your link lends credence that it's a fifth tier league. Grouping by the points assigned in that link, the tiers look like this IMO:

"MLS is now the 12th best league in the world by our model" Ok, it's 12th tier then.

If I was a sports superstar I'm not sure what I would do. Continue playing in the big leagues as a back up on a shitty team as a shell of my former self or go to a 5th tier league and "dominate" with ease. Hell, Shaq should be playing in China right now getting endorsement deals out the ass to hawk some deodorant or…

lol black people sure are crazy. #EndDeadspinRacism

I'm going to rewrite some of this article from Deadspin's perspective as if the guy had #BanGayMarriage on his shirt

The first two examples that come to mind are the Deadspin stance on the Chris Broussard comments back when Jason Collins came out as gay and the stance on the NFL rule concerning the usage of the N word during games.

Has Deadspin ever considered getting a writer with a less left leaning bias than the average current writer or is that purely in the hands of the Gawker media big wigs?

Here's the thing. When your first reaction to a story like this where there is a clear criminal act, a true monster like the litigious "nanny", and your reaction is "They were asking for it because they are stupid, naive, gullible, irresponsible, etc..." that is a cognitive bias. We think that way so we can feel like…

Umm...no. They are victims of a freeloading disgusting backhanded criminal. They may be naive, gullible, simple-minded, slow, or irresponsible that doesn't mean that a criminal gets to take advantage of them while they take the blame. We all want to feel better about this situation and we all want to feel like we…
