Didn’t say my opinion mattered, but I have a right to voice it. One of the greatest things about this country, aside from the fact that no one cares about soccer.

Well yeah, cause the fatass bartender wouldn’t serve him.

“Rather than trying to argue that the NCAA’s regulations are grossly unfair to the athletes and should therefore be invalid, or something similar, Smack Apparel president Wayne Curtiss instead tries making an irrelevant argument about satire in his response to the cease-and-desist.”

this. NCAA rules don’t apply to random businesses. Anyway, the NCAA claimed for years that things like “DUKE player #3" was not a likeness to an athlete.

I’m absolutely gobsmacked to see a Deadspin writer cite NCAA amateurism regulations as somehow controlling the business activities of an unaffiliated private business.

I love it. All you’re allowed to say about anyone who has died is that they were a good person and your thoughts and prayers go to a family you’ve never met. You can’t even say “dead” or “died,” you gotta roll with “passed away,” even if it was in a flaming car crash, avalanche or tiger attack.
