Self-Inflicted Comebacks are the Pinnacle of Humanity
Why True Sports Fans Will Always Root for the Self-Inflicted Comeback At its peak, more than 12 percent of America was watching The Masters.

Inciting Violence and the Loss of Meaning
Inciting Violence is Just the Latest in a Long Line of Phrases That Are Losing Meaning Nazi. Fascist. Holocaust. Hate Speech. Kapo. Fact Check. Apartheid.
