  1. There is a history of this. The biggest free agent deal signed this winter was signed with a team that won 71 games last year. Arod signed his mega deal with a Rangers team that won 71 games and finished in last place the previous season. Jon Lester signed with a Cubs team that won 73 games and finished in last place the previous season.
  2. It would probably behoove you to stop invalidating people for their race/sex/orientation if you actually are trying to pretend that you aren't actively looking down on people for them.
  3. Perhaps they should have had a radio host make a sign?
  4. You've lost your mind if you think the people you are debating don't have any perspective on minorities, while only you do. But this the arrogance that continues to elect people like Donald Trump, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
  5. I am mocking you for pretending that no one else can have a valid opinion on these issues as a straight white male, as you simultaneously tell us what you as a straight white male believe. No one else here has stooped to that level of hypocrisy.
  6. Call me crazy, but personally I think the NBA has become a much better product as the game has moved away from the ISO game and into the ball movement needed to create the three point shot. I love to see the ball move, and the defense scramble and adjust. It is SO much better than 8 guys standing on one side of the floor, while there is a one on one set up on the opposite side.
  7. Yeah, I don't really feel bad for the people that ranted about needing a complete meltdown removing all established talent and anything close to it, and then got exactly what they asked for, and are upset that the team is awful.
  8. Don't like it, don't use the corporation? That's apparently what you don't understand.
  9. Is this your "I have black friends" post?
  10. Funny how you see that in everyone else BUT yourself.
  11. Your points are not fair here. I am not talking about people willing to follow proper channels. I am clearly talking about absolutely refusing to work with the government. Refusing to pay taxes. Refusing to respond. Unlike corporations that you can, you cannot ignore the federal government. By JPs definition, they quite literally own us.
  12. Keep whiteplaining to us how to understand black people because you know best of all.
  13. Please, I need more hypocrisy in my life, explain how you know black people more than other white people do.
  14. There is nothing like a white guy talking down to a white guy about how a white guy talks to minorities.
  15. Least surprising post ever. Ron still wants to dump Abreu.
  16. You are enslaved to the federal government by every single measure you are using here, from cradle to grave. Every single one. What happens if you walk away from the government? You lose your freedom. In the 21st century you could still live as a subsistence farmer and have zero contact with corporations. You cannot live without the government. They will take every single piece of property and your freedom if you refuse to interact with them.
  17. Staking everything on all of the kids being ready in a narrow window is a fools errand. Trying to get them ready in that window while restricting the amount of time to learn is even worse. 3 months makes a difference.
  18. And you can walk away from a job with no penalty at all. Again if you are using that standard, the government is more of an enslaver. It amazes me that you can apply such extremist propaganda to the private sector, but don't see the same and worse in our government who quite literally endorsed slavery, and routinely takes away rights from people for things like their person and property.
  19. The difference is have no choice when it comes to government. You obey or face the punishment. You pay your taxes, or go to jail. That is the very definition of involuntary that you are using to define "slavery". There is not even an illusion of choice there. You are quite literally paying for your very existing to the government.
