Yep, glad the UK voted for that. Cowardice from Canada and Oz though. So embarrassing that this is even an issue.

I agree, but it's still sloppy behavior in the light of historical context.

Perhaps this fictional scenario might be illuminating: Imagine if Africans colonized (sorry Tony) Europe and set up a slave trade, shipping white Europeans to Africa and subjecting them to some of the most brutal, immoral, violent and inhumane treatment imaginable. They separate families, punish them for speaking their native languages and practicing their traditions. The slavers gang rape the men in front of their families. They gang rape the women in front of their families. They gang rape the young children in front of their families. They whip, chain, hang, torture, and burn alive the white slaves. They bury them alive. Forcing them to work 18 hours a day is a respite from the aforementioned brutality. The white slaves eventually win their freedom, but are immediately relegated to second class citizenship. They are terrorized (sorry Tony) by cloaked riders in the night. They are lynched without trial. They are denied the right to vote and denied education. Hospitals refuse them admission. They are humiliated in minstrel shows, where the Africans paint their faces white and wear blond wigs, and use cheap stereotypes to garner laughs and perpetuate the idea of the subhuman white, which they use to justify repressive laws and codes. Imagine 150 years later, when whites are still fighting for their rights, and Europe is still struggling, blacks are still occasionally seen painting their faces to mock whites. How would it make you feel?

It's pure robbery. Cowardice from moderates like Collins and total greed for guys like, well the rest of them. Most people will get a break next April, but in 8 years it will have trickled down to nothing, and then we'll all start paying for the rich. As usual, most Americans aren't paying attention, so they get away with it, just like they knew they could. Hopefully in 2018 the Dems crush the GOP and repeal the bill. It's along wait though, and the bill goes into effect tomorrow.

Are you guys allowed to play daily fantasy cash games on Yahoo? it's good fun, and easy to make money if you play the Saturday games and/or the Sun and Mon night games only.

Just one year, no way. Devers is a tricky one though. He's a real liability defensively at third, and doesn't have enough power for DH...They're going to have to drill him hard this winter and spring. That said, he's only 20, so huge upside. He'll bulk up too and eventually hit for more power. Also, Machado is a prick.

Reverse racist!

And he spelled Eddie wrong, what a spellist

It wont happen like that, I know. I think they'll trade for a big bat and hope that Price gets his act together.

Blackface was used to denigrate, humiliate, and ridicule. It also served as a propaganda tool used to reinforce negative stereotypes. It was immensely damaging to black people in a lot of different ways.

I'd trade Boegarts for someone like Chris Archer.

Ridiculous to have games on Christmas. I'm not religious, but I think it's a special occasion meant for families to be together around a Christmas tree and a dining room table, not yelling at a television.

Yankees strike first with Stanton. Judge hitting third and Stanton cleanup is a scary thought. Boston is trying to sign JD Martinez, but word is he doesn't want to DH, so we might consider trading for an elite SP or two...

What an idiot Carr is Ridiculous measurement method for a league that prides itself on high technology.

If we win any playoff games this year it'll be because of McDaniels-Brady, cuz our defense is composed of 3rd stringers and walk-ons. If we win the Super Bowl this year it'll be the most unlikely of them all.

Anderson has been pretty lacklustre and Davis ascendant. Rivers has been very good and Rodgers potentially rusty which he was (3 INT). I think I still would have lost though, because Brown went down early and Gurley had a monster game.

Gropegate gripping the NFL now- Jerry Richardson is SELLING the Panthers. He must be guilty of some bad stuff.

Brutal. Brown goes down, and Gurley goes off. I didn't do myself any favors either with roster moves. See ya next year!

Jimmy G trying to do a Brady here

Kyle Shanahan looks like a hardware store manager

Unbelievable quarter of football. Huge break for us with Brown getting hurt. I'd like to take a deeper look at that TD reversal.

Classy Steeler fans throwing shit at Brady

Back on top baby!
