Lol, Bronny's basically turned into the weirdest "just to make pops happy" hire ever now that he's been assigned to the D-league...but only playing in home games because he's NOT flying commercial to do stupid shit like actually develop as a basketball player by playing in a full season worth of games.

So, I'm in favor of LeBron remaining a high-level player for forever, just to see how far a team will bend over backwards to make him happy. I'm also guessing Bronny wants him to be a high-level player forever, too, since the minute the Lakers don't need to make daddy happy, his career is over unless some low-level team takes a flier on him to see if that will at least give them an attendance/ratings bump.

I don’t think LeBron’s kids need to play basketball. Dad can always pay for dinner, or $30 million mansion or whatever. LeBron’s dad wasn’t around….King James’s kids are beyond set

In essence, the left fucked up on this issue by letting the super-progs dictate its terms. And with that group, there's no cause too small that it can't be treated like the most important thing on Earth that everyone needs to get behind or they're bad, bad people. While they self-sabotage their efforts every step of the way with their "If you aren't cool with everything, FUCK YOU!!!!!!" attitudes. AKA: The same sort of thing we're getting now with certain Ds or D-leaning TV mouthpieces playing the "we only lost because this/these demographic(s) are TOO STUPID to do what they should have!!!" card.

I mean, just the concept that a group that's as small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things as trans people was so prevalent in election ads and a focus point of the campaigns of Trump and other prominent R candidates is insane. But the left just sort of skipped the "tolerate" and "accept" stages and went right to "celebrate" and did so in ways a lot of people didn't like, such as the "born male, competes with females" stuff and the Rs kept up their proven track record in amplifying and exaggerating things, setting up a situation where a lot of people probably were swayed towards the right by that issue -- at least far more than would be swayed left by it.

Seems like this wouldn't have been much of an actual issue if trans advocates were more like, "Trans people are people, too; live and let live; be cool" and left it at that. But that doesn't make the over-the-top advocates feel like they're doing their job, so that didn't happen, we got a world where a certain portion of the population feels you committed a hate crime if you "deadname" the wrong person and that just didn't resonate all that well.

Men with daughters playing sports it was huge.

It was also big for women who actually played women's sports.

My 42 year old lesbian sister, the demographic you would 100% assume would always vote democratic...refuses to vote for ANYONE who is "ok" with biological men playing with women in sports.

She was a 3 sport athlete in HS, very good (all district level) at 2 of them.

Are we brothers?

You’re least confident in the Texans to beat the Cowboys without Dak?

There’s some tough ones. I’ll have to think about it. Not confident in who I would pick between KC/Buffalo and Baltimore/Pittsburgh 

I think things are silly in the NFL. I think things will be tough to predict this week. I do believe the NFL would like the wildcard race to have as many teams as possible by week 15.

Why won’t they vote?

I think their general consensus is "we're not voting our way out of this." They could be right, but one party is significantly ahead of the other in terms of favorability towards the industry so it's an easy choice for me. If I was a single-issue voter, bitcoin would be my single issue.

Wasn’t there a Rams or Cardinals big name that did the same?
