Doc Rivers Wants To Remind You That It's Never His Fault

John Oliver Chugs Bud Light Lime To Celebrate Blatter's Resignation
When Last Week Tonight host John Oliver pledged last week to consume a variety of McDonald’s, Budweiser, and Adidas products if those brands made Sepp Blatter go away, nobody imagined he’d have to make good so quickly.

FIFA Sponsors Double Down On Endorsement Of Slavery
If you expected this week’s sham re-election of Sepp Blatter after a massive federal corruption takedown to be the final straw in corporate slave sponsors’ relationship with FIFA, you have far too optimistic a view of the world.

2014 Deadspin Hall Of Fame Nominee: Donald Sterling
Donald Sterling lost ownership of the Clippers after he was caught on tape being racist. (We already knew he was a vile man, but an actual recording was too much to ignore.)

Rape, Murder, Violent Racism: The Weirdest McDonald's Ad Campaign Ever
So 28 years ago this month, McDonald's put together a campaign that would dominate the fast-food giant's advertising strategy for years.

The Math Behind McDonald's Monopoly
