God bless her and God damn Lasseter and the Skydance execs. 

Good for Emma Thompson, and it’s great that she specifically mentioned the rank and file workers who don’t get a chance to publicly comment on this and cannot quit easily.

Good for her. Nice to see more people willing to do the right thing sometimes. 

It’s great she did this because a lot of actors simply cannot afford to turn down work on principle alone.

The only penalty should be if your team is down by 21 and you celebrate a first down catch like an asshole. And the only penalty for that should be continuing to be on the Bills.

Until the issue can be resolved, Jon Gruden has agreed to continue to keep his team out of the end zone altogether.

Called it back in November...

It’s funny to see Mike Singletary, who actively wore a Ned Flanders sized piece of the true cross when he coached the 49ers, be so anti-Christian.

What “steps” would that be, exactly? They *still* play the chant song, they *still* have that giant tom tom drum to lead the chant, and they’ve been selling this design for at least 5 years. They last used the “Screaming Savage” in 2013. Are we supposed to be impressed? Screw that trash franchise.

My main point is that the AAF as currently constituted cannot be a talent pipeline without the full financial force of the NFL the league’s willingness to eat a giant pile of cash, and a deep commitment to challenging the current status quo that exists between them and college football. The NHL and MLB do provide the…

Except... how is your body going to play a spring season of full contact football, take like a month off, then go into training camp and not be destroyed by like week 4? Even on its face, the way it’s structured makes it a terrible minor league system. There’s a reason why minor leagues run concurrently with the pros,…

Because it is fucking half-assed. If they actually wanted a minor leagues they’d need to put a shit ton of money in it, allow for the drafting of highschool players (a la nearly every major sport sans NBA but that’s reverting back), create not just one tier but multiple tiers so the young players that need to can…

Listen: Fuck Bob Kraft! He’s a piece of shit along several axes, and if this results in him eventually being pressured to sell the Patriots, I will enjoy a hearty and untroubled laugh at his expense. But I still don’t think this is the league office’s business at this point. That’s all I’m saying.

He was not. Which is irrelevant unless you’re willing to argue with a straight face that literally everything that is against the law is worse than literally everything that isn’t. (Which is an argument, I should warn you, that would mark you as too stupid to keep commenting privileges on this website!)

Jesus, you guys. This is appalling and embarrassing from a comment community ordinarily as smart as ours. Levenson was not pressured to sell over the email. He was pressured to sell because the email revealed not just racism, but racism being brought directly to bear on the operations of an NBA franchise. If you don’t…

To you pedants correctly pointing out my misuse of the word extramarital, you’re absolutely right. Also, as a Bills fan in Boston for the last 20 years, just shut the fuck up and let me have this.

The literal article you are commenting contains a quote from the detective working the case describing how this specific massage parlor engaged in human trafficking.  

On the one hand, legalize and regulate sex work.
