Yeah, that’s clearly what I meant, I meant his job is to solely play 60 minutes on game day and nothing else surrounding being a pro athlete representing a team. He actually doesnt have to practice or warm up either.

Ok I don’t know what your job is but that’s the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard. And btw your white colleagues are humoring your boss because he’s black and are extremely uncomfortable by the situation because none of them hate or kill black people so routinely having some kind of social justice conversation where…

If you were in a work meeting at an office job and someone asked “so what are you views on cops shooting blacks” would you answer it fully and truthfully or would you defer talking about the subject?

It is ok to kneel during the anthem or even burn the flag if it expresses your current view of our nation. It is not ok to associate yourself with Ali while going 13 for 29. What a disgrace.

Jesus, Timothy, now you’re doing politics too? I want you to look at the the latest strings of posts to Deadspin and tell me you don’t feel humiliated at what your life has become. I know there’s still a sports fan inside you somewhere.

What happens if Deadspin starts covering sports again?

Never seen anyone use a period in between thoughts but no other capitalization or punctuation. Very specific type of lazy you are

The funniest part of all this to me is Joakim Noah. Everyone else is kneeling during the anthem to make aware of the concept that they feel the anthem is a symbol of America, and today’s America is not something they want to serve as a representation of themselves. But they’ve also been very explicit that no one…

How should the police be trained to respond to someone shooting at them, in your opinion?

I need you to confirm that you don’t think the military enforces laws

I can show you a video of cocaine trafficker Jay-Z visiting the white house as obama’s friend. Would that do?

What’s Jay-Z’s (who Obama hangs out with in the white hosue) excuse for dealing cocaine?

I’m going to hijack the top comment, for whatever it’s worth, to remind everyone that Obama has hosted Jay-Z at the white house and hung out with him on multiple other occasions

Here’s some non-new information

I don’t know if you’ll get this but, because you were very civil and interesting to discuss with I want you to know that all of my posts have been wiped. I didn’t get any responses for a long time so I looked at how things appear if I’m not signed in. You can’t see any of them. I hope that good people like you, even…

Ooh. We’ve reaching meaningless gif stage. At least i have fun graphics to look at now.

I agree with the first part of your sentiment. I believe there are political reasons ultimately motivating it but he’s trying to gain the highest political office in the land so the playing of politics is not outside any reasonability. The latter part, while I agree with the result, is something that actually does…

I do. And do not believe the perception that because it failed once that makes it a permanently bad policy because 1. the way it was enacted is not nearly as aggressive as it needs to be to see its full effect and 2. everything about economic circumstance is driven by far more factors than tax rates. So it was…

If you’re going to judge me by the company I keep I will judge the candidate you support in the same way

Because he can’t say that. Think about how much heat he takes on the issue now, if he said “I can’t release because of what it will reveal about my business dealings” what percent of votes do you think would understand the nuance that you did eloquently describe?
