re: Chief's Harrison Butker delivers an unforgettable commencement address
Posted by Roger Klarvin on 5/20/24 at 2:01 pm
I guess I don’t understand how it’s possible to perceive his statement as being an either/or mutually exclusive proposition. Hes saying those who do go on to have successful careers WILL STILL get more fulfillment from their families. Thats statement by definition requires that subset of women to do...

[quote] There's no studies that suggest many women don't regret being parents?[/quote]
There are no quality data sets that I am aware of which show a large number of women AS A PERCENTAGE of those who stay home with their kids who regret it and/or would have preferred to forgo that for a career. ...

[quote] There's a shite ton who regret not pursuing a career.[/quote]
This is incorrect, the number of women who were homemakers who genuinely regret doing so on the basis of their preference for a career is exceedingly small, less than 15% of those surveyed.
But again nobody INCLUDING BUTKER s...

[quote]Telling women they've been told it's a diabolical lie to pursue a career during their commencement speech is ridiculous.[/quote]
But again, that’s not what he said. The “diabolical lie” is that most women can live their best, most fulfilling life without a long term intimate partner and es...

He’s a Catholic who said Catholic things at commencement speech for a small Catholic university. Regardless of how you feel about what he said it’s stupid to get upset about it. Especially since the thing that people are most upset about (that women should all be stay at home moms) wasn’t even one o...
re: NFL has had the least parity among the four major NA sports over the past six years
Posted by Roger Klarvin on 5/20/24 at 9:11 am
Championships over just a six year span isn’t a great measure of parity.
That being said football in general has less parity than the other major American sports because it is the game in which luck plays the smallest role across large sample sizes. Being bigger, stronger and faster than the guy ...

Rangers and Mavericks are huge here. The 2011 Mavs title run generated more buzz than any Cowboys season has in decades including ones in which they had the #1 seed in the NFC.
The Stars do have a lesser following but that’s just hock...

It’s also worth pointing out that OKC’s aggregate team efficiency was better than Minnesota’s, and their offensive efficiency was SIGNIFICANTLY better (1st vs 16th). And Dallas held OKC over 10 points below their season average, and the Thunder didn’t hit their season average in points in a single g...

[quote] Wolves in 5[/quote]
It’s a real tough matchup for Minnesota. Everything Denver did to frustrate them offensively Dallas does better since the trade deadline, and the thing that decided this series was Minnesota’s ability to take away the post game and dive feeds of Jokic in the games they...

Luka went for 29/10/10 in a playoff close out game and people are completely unimpressed and ho-hum about it. That tells you all you need to know about him and how amazing he is.
If he retired today he’d have the greatest all around career stat line in league history. No player has ever averaged ...
