One of the many reason I quit watching sports. The money is as bad as the Hill which I am forced to pay taxes to. It's become all about the owners and the rich. Kids/teens can't afford to go to these games. Their heroes are on tvs and computers. Do they set aside money to allow the poor to participate in a rich male world?

Repubs are just bitter because they can't jump.

This one of the best, most thought-provoking stories I have read on Wonkette, or anywhere, in memory.

Oh, the pout rage! Oh, the whataboutism! The only thing Republicans care about on Election Day is suppressing the Democratic vote. This is lovely. 🥰

Oh, yeah, I've written* about them. They cause millions of dollars in losses to agriculture every year.

* Which led me to a revolting place, watching a youtube video that lured pigs in with food to a location with a hella amount of tannerite, which was set off in the middle of the piggies and the sound captured the ones not killed by the blast as they screamed.

Activist Kareem is still the number one NBA all time scoring champ, for a few more months at least.

Encouraging people to vote ranks right up there in the annals of subversive evil with a former FLOTUS encouraging kids to eat some vegetables! I say FUCK THE VEGETABLE EATING LIBS!!!!!!!!!

The NBA players deserve most of the credit for this sort of thing. Remember when they walked out during the playoffs two years ago? It still seems remarkable that a major pro-sports league would shut down completely for two days, so the players could meet and formulate demands for how the league should respond to Black Lives Matter.

I'm proud of them. There are problems, sure, but they still deserve a lot of credit.

Yep. It's like Bush's "you're either with us or you're with the terrorists."Iran wasn't in danger of a communist takeover back in the '50s. No, they had a popularly elected government and the shah fled.The Brits got pissed because that government stopped their practice of basically stealing all of Iran's oil wealth, paying almost no royalties and giving no account for how much they pumped and how much money they earned off of it. Oh, and they were working Iranians in the oil business to death in horrid conditions, because old habits died hard with the empire.The barking Brits came crawling to the Dulles brothers and the Eisenhower administration's justification for overthrowing democracy and installing the wuss that grew into a murderous dictator was justified because Iran wanted to remain neutral and not commit to either side in the Cold War."You're with us, or you're with the Commies! Piss on your constitution."

They're right, though. I watched part of a basketball game once, and I've voted for the Democratic Party since.

So it's not that "Mr. Freedom" hated living under a totalitarian regime, it's that he hated living under a totalitarian regime where the leaders weren't his buddies and no one put him on TV....
