What do you expect from a minority hire?

    boots,

    We think for the majority of sports editors making minority hires, their primary expectation is that this will keep the boss of their back.

    It's still first-person, but it is the "Royal We."

    I can see where someone's race or gender could be an asset in certain context or stories, but I never really noticed that Asian reporters were being used anymore than usual in the Va Tech story and it seems to me that in that context, it wouldn't make sense. It's not like they could identify with Cho just because he's Asian. By that logic, maybe they sould have had nutcases covering the story.

    I think you mean off their back.

    We're a little bitter that we didn't see this threat until hours after it was created.

    We also think it's about time Fenian posts another picture. What's the hold up?

    Now, that was a great answer.

    Some of the rest of you, I just don't understand what the fuck gets into you. You try to make problems where there doesn't need to be one.

    Why must you try to make a lame joke out of everything? This is not a pissing match, but damn man or woman, don't you get tired of acting the way that you do?

    judgemental idiots who understand little often ask nonsensical questions.

    When you (y'all? you guys? You'uns?) change the pronoun to it (It puts the lotion in the basket!) we'll be enrolling in self-defense courses ...
