Reply to comment by AUWarEagle82 in TIL that the VitaminWater class-action lawsuit resulted no compensation for the consumers, and Coca Cola/Glacéau could continue marketing VitaminWater as “nutrient enhanced water beverage”. by OMG__Ponies
There's no sugar is diet (or "zero") soda, either. If you're going to compare what is effectively "diet" vitamin water to something, it should be that.

The kind where Kermit Washington broke Rudy Tomjanovich's face and the latter was out for a year. There were fights all over the place and all kinds of violent and hard fouls that were never called.

Harris was 6’3.
Long (5’11) is a different person.

Reply to TIL in the 1950’s statues depicting Christopher Columbus making an indigenous woman flinch on one side and Davy Crockett arresting an indigenous man in front of his family on the other were taken down from the US capital by hillo538
Who woulda thunk that people in the 50s were "woke". I'm going to go out on a limb and say that a lot of "woke" people at the time got called communists. Sounds familiar to modern tactics doesn't it.

Same! When I saw the year I assumed they were removed for painting our settlers in a negative light, I was surprised to see the 1939 declaration about how badly we fucked over and stole from the natives too.

The WNBA has some amazing shooters, including possibly the best free throw shooter in the world (among men or women).
But anyone who thinks a WNBA player could make the NBA simply does not understand basketball.

She would not have played a second in the NBA.
There is no WNBA player who could make an NBA team. Or a D1 college team. D2 would be questionable.
That's not to say they aren't skilled, great athletes--theu are. But it is a different game and they can not compete against professional male players.

Probably the basketball in the 80's and 90's like he said. Fighting in the NBA was never at hockey levels, but in that era it was very much real
