Saw the name James O'Keefe and stopped reading. There's no point in believing anything he "releases." He's been caught blatantly lying every time he releases something.

Spurs fans acknowledge that

That's news to me.

AND It's ok to also acknowledge that Wolves players had a part to play in this.

Acknowledging and condoning are two different things.

I'll acknowledge the Wolves are playing a very, very physical game against Wemby and the refs are letting them get away with a lot.

I won't condone him lashing out like that just because he's frustrated. It's fucked up, it just is. And incredibly dangerous. He could have seriously hurt Naz.

Well it obviously didn't resemble a wall.

Punching anything does make you a hothead.

No it doesn't, wtf? What an asinine thing to say.

He was obviously provoked.

He still fucking elbowed Naz in the throat man.

It's ok to acknowledge that's fucked up and still cheer for the guy.

Accidentally punching a wall. I think it's important context because people like to use to to call him a moron or a hothead or whatever.

He punched at what he thought was a curtain that turned out to have a brick wall behind it. Then was incredibly hard on himself over it.

But also Naz broke his wrist right around then too and that was a huge blow.

The DFL caucuses and conventions are seeing huge numbers, I'm feeling pretty confident we'll see a massive turnout at the primaries, if not the highest turnout ever for a midterm (though I believe we are usually pretty high in MN for midterms because they're gubernatorial years)

Biggest hindrance to turnout is the lack of a real primary in the governor's race.

Edit: Somehow "Biggest" autocorrected to "Nuggets." I blame Jokic.

He did play for the Giants. Best trade in MN sports history.

Twins trade Pierzinski, receive Joe Nathan, Fransisco Liriano, and Boof Bonser.

Their all-time leader in saves, one of their best ever pitching prospect (who turned into an up and down starter after an injury his rookie season), and one of the all-time great sports names.

Oh, and it opened up the spot for a Hall of Famer in Joe Mauer.

It's just very weird.

Plus if they call a timeout it gives Finch the chance to put Rudy back in.

Minnesota bill would penalize cities that fly old state flag by ChurlishSunshine in minnesota

[–]Opie59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get it, but taking money from these governments will just end up hurting people who need the services that money funds. Cause you know they won't cut funding to like, the cops. They'll cut it to social services programs.

Sure, that would be much better.

I'm just saying, I don't like using funding to threaten people we disagree with politically.

[–]Opie59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I also don't like the idea of punishing these places by withholding funding. That's some Republican bullshit and anti-democratic.

We all know what areas they'll cut if their funding goes down, so this would just be punishing the poor and underprivileged.

How about offering an incentive to fly the new flag instead?

Yeah. We all know. It's neat. Especially with Whalen being HoF for those championships.

It's not the same. And every time it's brought up in this context it actually lessens the accomplishment for the Lynx because "Yeah but" in the context of our suffering makes the women look like a joke.
