Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

    NFL --> No Fun League

    I know there are lots of people who don't like this stuff, but come on. Don't take everything so seriously. The end zone celebrations are fun, and they don't hurt anyone. The NFL is just trying to get rid of individuality.

    Good riddance. End-zone celebrations are selfish marketing tactics, and poor sportsmanship.

    If they're getting rid of individuality, I hope they succeed. Football is, more than anything, a team sport. There is no individual on the football field. No single player could achieve what they do if not for the other 10 men on the field. These choreographed gimmicks may seem fun but they disrespect the players and fans who enjoy the game for what it mean at the cost of a fleeting, and cheap, thrill.
