Again, even though the Japanese government leading up to 1945 committed terrible atrocities, none of us think that Japanese internment was caused by the Japanese government. It was caused by American racism.
No, Jews around the world don't suffer because of the actions of the government of Israel. Jews around the world suffer because antisemites use the actions of the government of Israel to justify attacks on Jews. And if you make the same association, you're also an antisemite.

I am excited for NWSL’s new salary cap exception to be forever known as the Rodman Rule.
I am sure there was something informally called a Rodman Rule before and equally sure none of us want to know in detail what it was.

if you'd asked me, "which of the three will oppose fascism in America, WaPo, the ADL, or the Catholic Church" I would not have gotten the answer right, but here we are.

A guy asking Epstein for advice on how to sexually harass a junior colleague knows exactly what Epstein was and was clearly OK with it. I am frankly OK with someone ruining his life.
Evidently it ought to have happened decades ago.

Amazing, they built a blasphemy machine.

Now says she regrets voting for Trump and wishes a Democrat were president to “protect benefits [Trump] wants to cut.”
![Hannah's mom, Betty, a 63-year-old recent retiree who is a caretaker for her daughter and a longtime Trump supporter, said she is losing confidence in the president she once supported amid the shutdown fight.
"I think deep down he wants to help the country with things like food insecurity," she said. "But now he is busy out of the country and demolishing the White House. I know that is being paid for with private funds, but those could be used to help people."
"It all seems very selfish," she added.
Betty Szretter said she now regrets voting for Trump in 2024 and would prefer a Democrat in the White House to "protect benefits he [Trump] wants to cut."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:drfb2pdjlnsqkfgsoellcahm/bafkreihyvn3jjcjcdv2c2a7hvwbvmjmtapemihu3dbvlijsep5eeeqjh7a@jpeg)

not that you can trust nomenclature (competitive balance tax, for example) all the time, but one way you know a salary cap's purpose isn't to level the playing field is because it's called a salary cap. it's purpose is to cap salaries.
The purpose of a cap is to level the playing field. The NBA is your example. Lots of different winners, and lots of different Finals teams.
