The reason is that you won't fix institutional racism by making an example of one older woman who probably is representative of the majority rather than the minority. Add an apology, a little training, a fat payout and an option for the racist company to brush it under the rug and you've got yourself a settlement.

At some point, the media has to be able to learn. Don't expect the media to let you know when democracy fails because they have an almost supernatural ability to believe the law still applies just because it says so. In other words, how often can the media print that charges are just around the corner for Trump without charges ever being delivered before the media learns that Trump isn't going to be held accountable in this lifetime? Don't get me wrong, I want Trump in jail but the pattern couldn't be more clear. Talk about charges and then ignore the outcome until the next round of charges for different crimes gets discussed.

A barrel is a volume. For some reason, I always think of actual barrels full of oil. Like, there must be a better way of transporting oil than filling barrels one at a time.

My bad. Was I supposed to respond to you with 6 comments?

They hire 'em dumb for a reason. Intelligent police could get away with so much crime but dumb police? They send facebook messages that can be printed out and shown to a grand jury.

I was having a conversation. Whats it to you?

>This is obviously a very touchy subject for you

Says the dude that just commented on me six times from a dead thread? lol people are so fucking stupid.

Well, there you have it. I'm a professional athlete. What sport? Chess. lol

You first. ;)

Knitting can be in the Olympics. There is no bottom. If everything is a sport than nothing is a sport.

>and can’t remove your own culturally couched series of assumptions that load the definition in your head.

Oh my. You almost had a good point. You were so close but then you let slip the logical fallacies. Your comment literally made two opposing arguments and you claimed them both as supporting your position. If you don't mind, explain how arguing for both sides of a topic makes you correct. "you operate on a simpler level" this is something that people who operate on a simpler level say.

Is it, though? It's a competition, but is it a sport? Is this because you all received participation trophies as kids, so now, anytime you do anything, you are allowed to think you are playing sports? Look mommy I am the champion at shooting my gun exactly like Usain Bolt, basically no difference at all.

>where in the definition of "sport" is the practice of computer-based competitions excluded

I addressed that. Sorry that you don't read at my writing level. I don't think that means you are stupid but it does make it hard to communicate with you.

You can bastardize the term sport, but we both know you are subverting it; that's the difference. Nobody assumes a sport is sitting on your butt. We can call cursive writing a sport, and if you believe that writing in cursive is a sport, you have completely lost the spirit of what a sport is, which again is fine with me. However, still, we will need a new word to replace what everybody on earth understands is a sport today, excluding things that aren't sports, like chess, cursive writing, and esports, so that you can justify calling something that isn't a sport because the dictionary doesn't forbid it and apparently dictionaries define a language to some people and not the other way around.

Same with chess.

Should call it vSports for virtual sports, as in not a sport at all. I'm not saying it isn't a good extracurricular but sitting down holding a controller as a sport? Sure if the Chess club is a sport.
