JJ Husker Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 But he had a pretty recent incident of disparaging an Iowa player that he also was just suspended for. The article you linked even states the head coach and this announcer have a bad relationship due to that. Yet you portray it as the head coach big and bold in his support of the suspension....gee, I wonder why. There's some things you just don't say if you want to remain in the broadcasting profession. Strike 2..... Link to comment
OTHusker Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 I clearly stated that the announcer had zero incidents of racial issues the Iowa coach came out strongly against the announcer- denouncing him purely on the racial word thing calling someone King Kong for making a strong physical play and being crucified for it is a bridge too far that hurts their cause just like certain states allowing an abortion when a woman is going into labor these bridge too far extreme positions hurt their causes Much of America are sick of dogmatic extreme positions that go too far and well beyond their accepted original intent 1)Fighting racism good 2)crucifying someone for using word King Kong bad- too much- going to be rejected by many 1)abortion accepted as necessary evil and right by many 2) allowing abortion as mom is going through labor in the 9th month - too much going to be rejected by most 1 1 Link to comment
Moiraine Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 @OTHusker we discussed this yesterday. Who are you talking about when you say "their causes" ? Link to comment

Or any offended or outraged parties. So are you imagining some SJW's looking for victims in this case, the same way that you're saying they imagine slights against oppressed people? 1 Link to comment

Apparently "coach" = "social justice warrior" now 1 Link to comment
Moiraine Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 What I find weird is that the OP knows all about the ratio of liberals to conservatives on this forum but he doesn't even know we discussed this topic at length a day before he made a topic out of it. 1 1 Link to comment
