The argument to ban the play is because refs are unable to tell when it is and isn’t a legal play, which absolutely is a player safety concern.

Aesthetics, when we’re discussing professional football, don’t matter imo

She’s going to be the Guest Picker on College Gameday, her games draw some of the highest TV viewership but NOPE, she’s not a face of the WNBA guys.

I just wanna know the people who are gonna plan to cut off the Super Bowl (which is on broadcast TV) to turn on some random Substack stream.

Like, you MIGHT get 50 people.

Inside WNBA players' rocky relationship with Cathy Engelbert Napheesa Collier's scathing criticism was only the most recent example of players' eroding trust in the WNBA commissioner.

Say it with me now.

You shouldn't be worrying about striking fear into the heart of anything unless you're talking about your bowels.

MAAAAAN....like for Charlotte Mecklenberg Schools right now, music teachers are largely part-time positions. It's incredibly sad and shameful.

The self-destruction of the black church is the one though.

And honestly, like maybe adults en masse need to log off as well.

Just like every other situation. The niggas that are supposed to be raising and influencing them are too busy being assholes to then and complaining about what they're not doing

Related Point: A LOT of us have become the asshole adults we resented growing up.

So, it might be time for self-reflection.

Indeed.

Them: "These kids dont know how to do (insert action here)".

Me: "You ever think about teaching them?"

Them: "No, uhhh...that's different."

At the risk of revealing too much on main, my wife is in education at a Title 1 School.

These kids are resilient and WANT to be sponges. Adults have to be willing to invest in them

We do waaaaay too much blaming of the kids, and not enough blaming of the adults in charge.

YTD win rates
football: 3.4%
basketball: 3.7%
baseball: 4.8%
other: 6.8%
parlay: 19.6%

YTD win rates football: 3.4% basketball: 3.7% baseball: 4.8% other: 6.8% parlay: 19.6%

happy football season, quick reminder that sportsbooks win about 3% of your money on straight football bets, but almost 20% on parlays and same-game parlays.

which is why they have all the ads for those and not regular bets

I'll be real, why are people so certain this isn't for the best?

This show needed to be put out to pasture a while ago.

Two things:

1) This is really well done
2) Taking Mamdani’s style of video explainer without fully endorsing him is…..

Well, ya know

He has to accept it in order for a team to sign him (which probably isn't happening anyway, but still)

segregationist say like John Roberts. He believes in a national rebirth through the elimination of internal enemies, those enemies being non-white and the β€œleft”. *that* is absolutely fascist and should be recognizes. But it does grow from β€œtraditional” US conservatism

to enjoy the same rights and privileges as other citizens into serious account. This offers incredibly fertile soil for fascism to arise. It’s why Paxton labeled the klan as proto-fascist, especially combined with Lost Cause-ism. But, Trump is a real inflection point. He’s not *merely* a

I think where critics of folks who say β€œthis is nothing new” are wrong is that they don’t properly weigh how authoritarian American conservatism *always* was. At no point in history has American conservatism not been explicitly white supremacist, if you take actively opposing Black folks’ attempts

I'm not gonna call it a crisis.

But these are the same dudes many of us came up with who ended up selling books without barcodes on them on the side of the street.

The problem is, those books are now videos.

People saw LeBron on that shitty ass soundstage with none of the league broadcasting partners around and thought we were getting a retirement video.

Media Literacy is in the pits.
