So wait, the white people I knew in Texas weren’t assimilated because we all noticed their cowboy hats and boots? I’m so confused. Well, actually I’m not, since his (racist) point is pretty clear.

Socialism is only when you give money to people who aren’t white, in their view.

I’m from the South and, well, yeah. I grew up with people who had trouble getting through a solid hour of their lives without saying something racist.

My 13-year old knows enough about politics to teach a class, which is very unfortunate.

EPL refs see pro wrestling refs as role models. They see their job as keeping the home fans happy and making decisions based on how the entertainment value of the “product” would be affected. The league likes controversial officiating because it generates discourse.

Is there a more un-American sentiment than “You shouldn’t mind the government in your business unless you have something to hide?” He should glance over the Bill of Rights sometime. It’s very interesting.

I have had very few students who have any interest in using these tools, besides the ones who use them to cheat, and event those have been rare. And yes, for a bunch of smart people, educators are astonishingly taken in by shiny new toys. Remember MOOCs? Etc

The “news” for them is that they asked him a question. The content is totally irrelevant, because if it weren’t, as you say, they’d follow up. It’s like half-time interviews in sports: not once has anything interesting been said, but they keep doing them.

I grew the most from individual sports like tennis. You have no one else to rely on, so cliches like “We lose as a team” don’t apply. If you lose, it’s all on you and you have to figure it out. And I never got a concussion.

Which meant that he managed every game like Game 7 of the World Series and blew out his pitchers’ arms by midseason. He couldn’t plan ahead because of his betting and his team and players suffered. But by all means let’s legalize players and managers betting on their own teams and see what happens.

I grew up using it in the South, stopped when I moved up North, and have been delighted that it’s come back as a gender-neutral alternative to “you guys.” My wife grew up in the Bronx and she uses it a lot more than I do, and no one from her neighborhood gives a shit about appearing “folksy.”

They said this in the 90s when I was in grad school. It usually just meant “I want to treat people like crap and not be held accountable.” Not for the first time, we realized that middle-aged ex-hippies were out for themselves.

My 7th grader took a course in the history of African Americans in sports and he’s not even slightly into sports but all he talked about that semester was that class.

Right. No one doubts that it’s true. The problem is that he thinks it matters to anyone except the press or that it’s relevant to the rest of us. And I’m worried by Mr. Sagal’s lack of reading comprehension.
