Excellent piece Barry. Although, I'd like to offer my thoughts on a particular line: Coming out is now a stage-managed media event, scripted and choreographed in a way that ensures America receives only the most telegenic version of what at bottom is still a deeply personal act.

I think you stumbled away from watching .gifs of watching guys get hit in the face with a baseball. I for one actually appreciate the effort into putting together an article that actually sheds light on the sporting world.

WHAT ABOUT THE MYSOGYNISTIC GARDENERS

Actually, Donald Sterling is more than "a demented old racist kook" who "legally did no harm to anyone." He's actually been accused quite often of illegal acts of racial discrimination that have palpably harmed people of color, such as refusing housing for minorities and employment discrimination.

If he's truly offended by all racism, which seems to be your argument, isn't hypocritical of him to give Sterling a pass and call out Jay-Z for using the n-word in his songs? And that's assuming the fact that a black person using the n-word in a song is racist, which is a ludicrous fucking premise to begin with.

Iran-Contra was 30 years ago. It's not exactly the first thing that comes to mind when you talk about a guy who has since been the governor of one of the country's largest states.

He made references to a taint you can't wash out.

Size 8s and Heartbreak

I posted it because I find it funny.

I found this today. I think they nailed the haircuts.

I get that there's always going to be suspicion, after this guy's coming off a great year for him and the franchise. But at the same time, you can't be caught with illegal drugs and expect to face absolutely zero consequences from the League.

Fact: Half of the NHL teams features on 24/7 have lost the big game they were preparing for!.

Agreed. Samer needs to put more thrust behind his hips, and try it with a human instead of a mattress.

Don't you just hate the way these fuckin' clowns blow it up, then twist and turn it into whatever sensationalized form they want it to take? Really, when push comes to shove, it's just a balloon.

Spot on, Mr. Kalaf. I'm not in love with him doing a reality show. I think it cheapens his cause a little bit (because reality TV is far from reality), but I also can't hate the guy for doing it. The bottom line is, he will get paid. As a seventh round pick, there's no guarantees he'll be with the Rams in September.…

Accusers' sexual history being admitted, especially in highly visible cases, goes a long way to determining reasonable doubt, and in many states, it's left to judges' discretion. I'm not sure how California works, but it's shitty, regardless.

Plus he totally cock-blocked Seattle fucking over Sacremento when we tried to steal their team and make it ours.

When asked how he could kill three people, Livan simply stated, "they've got the Wong Hernandez."
