we are innovators and trendsetters in losing, bringing back shit you haven’t seen since the moto razr
Vikings have minus-3 passing yards through three quarters.

Last time a team won a game with negative passing yards through three quarters was 2006 (Texans and David Carr over Raiders).

Disabled people are kept from participating in public life or building any kind of visibility or cultural power, therefore they are an easy target for this kind of casual bigotry. By refusing to take their needs seriously, for example refusing to mask in public, you’re part of the larger problem!

1 reason the r word has become popular again, esp among “edgy leftists” is bc disabled ppl don’t have any social power to enforce consequences when the slur is used. No leftist podcaster would use the n word bc they fear backlash, but using the r word is fine bc who cares what disabled ppl think?
“It turns out that banishing the slur from public discourse was, in fact, important. Because now it’s back and it turns out that it does matter when subtext becomes actual text, when terrible people enable open hatred and bigotry, encouraging others to emulate them, degrading us all.”
Perry: The return of the r-word
"These days, the r-word slur has become a staple of the American right wing, uttered with few professional or social consequences," David M. Perry writes.

this might explain why the fan didn’t give his real name the first time the freep asked him
Here’s Metcalf’s side. If he did report this fan in the past, I’m sure there’s a record of it.

A lot of folks on the online left loved using this word, and I wonder how many of them were smart enough to scrub those tweets when Trump got elected again bsky.app/profile/loll...

There are 10 million systemic issues in the Michigan Athletic Department and "coach commits computer crime, immediately gets fired and referred to the FBI" isn't even in the top 9 million
