Most statistics are completely made up to benefit the message...sort of like OPS+

They probably include strange looks from people as a hate crime.

How do you even know the number of LGBTQ people? Arent a good portion of them in the closet?

On Sunday Night Football, they had an advanced stat segment (sponsored of course by Amazon Web Services) that said Odell Beckham's famous catch from a few years ago had only a 0.4% chance of being caught. I'm sure that was very scientific.

For a group that is so small a large percentage of hate crimes are made against them. That 1 out of 4 doesn't seem that outrageous.

That's not at all what his point was and you know it; what a foolish response.

1 in 20 would seem more realistic.

None of it is ok.


Unless they are hate crimes against Packer fans.

This seems crazy to me, especially in this day and age with the rules protecting the QBs. Rodgers, Brady, Manning, Brees, Ben, etc....none of them have thrown for 400+ in three straight? I know that is a lot of yards, but still.

Even if that were true, the media would have you believe that the corollary is that 1 in 5 men are rapists. My guess is that 1 in 100 men (or fewer) are rapists, i.e, 1% of the men are committing 100% of the rapes.

Right, me too. But there is a perception that if 20% of women are raped in college, then there is an equivalent percentage of men doing the raping, when I'm sure it's a tiny percentage of men committing multiple rapes. It's not a rape culture.

If women just stayed in the kitchen instead of going to college, they wouldn't be raped.
