They're hella nice and probably worth it. Also for Jura Williams Sonoma doesn't set the price, they have worldwide MAP.

Crazy Ted posted:"What Did We Get Stuck in Our Rectums This Year" is better I prefer the WS review but that is a close second. Barry tweeted that it's still happening and he's currently researching it, at least as of a couple of days ago. Deadspin lives forever in spirit.

Why wouldn't Vice want to pick up a podcast that already has an audience? Hell, Roth used to work there.

Love to see Simmons dunked on as much as anyone, but this is pretty disingenuous. Windhorst was breaking the block down in excruciating detail and Simmons just made a little "back, and to the left" quip. It was in no way a real comparison.

The actual ultimate Simmons take was that the Grizzlies couldn’t get over the top because the city was still traumatized by the MLK assassination

It was from 2013 and hoo boyquote:I didn’t realize the effect [the MLK shooting] had on that city…I think from people we talk to and stuff we’ve read, the shooting kind of set the tone with how the city thinks about stuff. We were at Game 3. Great crowd, they fall behind, and the whole crowd got tense. It was like, 'Oh no, something bad's gonna happen.' And I think it starts from that shooting.

As a student of history, I can say that I've seen hundreds of pictures like this, and have shown little to no emotion. The pictures were just windows to a past I've never lived in, people who I never knew, or would ever know. But this picture made me stop and evaluate. Putting Zach Randolph there on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in the moments after MLK's assassination made me actually look at what is really happening.

I wish I could agree that Brother Fred was the most prominent US “civil rights leader” but even if you think that term fits him he definitely wasn’t that prominent. He wasn’t even the most famous Panther

All pedantry anyway. It’s never a bad time to remember Fred Hampton was murdered by the Chicago PD and FBI because they feared the effectiveness of Maoism with the US underclass And MLK was murdered because he was making a public turn towards socialism too

And that's not even getting started with the types of people the CIA had killed overseas, though I think Thomas Sankara is probably the most stark example I can cite.

Nkruma, though he wasn’t killed, just overthrown and driven into exile. They probably made a couple passes at him after. Allende, but the list of Latin Americans is a whole other thing I suppose

The X-man cometh posted:Patrice Lumumba (who was a soccer player to keep this on sports) Lumumba is another pretty clear-cut case of a guy being murdered because he threatened Western Interests, as well as the fact that he petitioned for Soviet Assistance (though notably only after he was denied help by the US). It goes without saying that he 100% did not deserve to die, and in an ideal world those responsible for his death would face consequences. But I think Sankara is the best example for a lot of reasons. First off, the Burkinabè movement never sought help from any foreign power, it's entire purpose was to make Burkina Faso self-sufficient, so there was absolutely no "Soviet influence" or anything like that to even misguidedly warrant the tampering. Additionally, Burkina Faso is a tiny country of mostly subsistence farmers. It isn't rich with oil or rare metals like the Congo. It has no real economic or strategic importance in the eyes of the US. There was really nothing materially gained by western control of the country. All this makes it abundantly clear that the reason Sankara was killed was because his message was effective. He nationalized farms in a logical, unbiased way, reinvested debt repayment into development, outlawed discrimination towards women, and within 2 years farming efficiency increased by 60% (in a country where people depended on it for their lives, not just a source of revenue). I really implore any and everyone to read more about him, what he did in Burkina Faso was really unprecedented and unfortunately, because it's such a small country it's not very well known. Especially people who have an interest in the Cold War, or post-colonial history. It's sad but fascinating. This is related to sports because Sankara wrote the national anthem to Burkina Faso, and they play the national anthem during sports games.
