  • This is an interesting question. From Foot’s own neo-Aristotelian ethical naturalist perspective, I don’t think she would accept executing an innocent person.

    Her account of the practical rationality of the Sudetenland farm boy who chose death over joining the Nazis seems to indicate her preference for avoiding participation in others’ evil acts.

    Just as well, it seems to conflict with virtues such as courage (giving into fear of a riot), wisdom (abandoning the rule of law to placate a mob), justice (murdering an innocent person), and so on.


  • That was an incredible moment for O’Malley. Watching the end of the main event was reminiscent of McGregor vs Aldo. Both in the pull back counter for the finish and the immense crowd pop for the crowning of a well-hyped new champion.

    Respect to both guys for their character after the fight. I know O’Malley wants Chito next, but I’d like to see him fight Dvalishvili myself. The story line is there and he deserves it more. I also hope we see O’Malley vs Sandhagen down the road.









  • If I recall correctly, the narrative going into this season was that Ohtani is tired of not making the playoffs. If that’s true, then you might be right that money alone won’t do it.

    Obviously Ohtani knows more about the Angels than I do, but from my perspective it’s hard to see why he’d want to return. The franchise has floundered around two all-time great talents for years now. They’ve never even had a winning season with Ohtani.

    What do you think?
