OT Jamelle Hill/ESPN

[MarAzul]

It's NOT the equivalent of Schilling's comments

I have no personal knowledge of what Schilling said, don't even really give a shit.
The woman pissed me off all on her own merit, on a channel that I did watch. Nobody turns on ESPN to hear any fool bitch about the President.

 

[dviss1]

Because ESPN gave a shit about what Cohn, Schilling, Simmons, etc said, and either suspended or fired them.

Right because what they said was completely different than what Jamelle said. You are creating the double standard, not ESPN.

And there it is.

 

[dviss1]

Not an equivalence with Beck and someone on ESPN. Don't watch Beck and it's shits you can't watch ESPN either. That's a Sports channel you know. errr, it was.

This is just stupid and your way of going at someone black for doing the same shit you don't care if someone white does. Plain and simple.

 

[dviss1]

Equating Schilling and Jamelle's comments is extremely unintelligent and a bush league way of not giving a shit about the oppression in this country.

A MF is literally pissed at someone calling out racism in an effort to stamp it out. The other is ESPOUSING a type of ism... They are in fact opposite points of view.

No sir, my being stupid is another issue, but the woman did not piss me off by being black.

Not sure how Schilling's comments were so "horrible".

He said " A man is man no matter what they call themselves. I don’t care what they are, who they sleep with, men’s room was designed for the penis, women’s not so much. Now you need laws telling us differently? Pathetic".

BFD. That certainly isn't any more politically divisive than calling the president a white supremacist or comparing rooting for the Celtics to rooting for Hitler.

Why is he so concerned about male transgender penis?

Ask Schilling if he wants this transgender woman to man in women's bathrooms:

 

[dviss1]

Last I checked, a MF when to the bathroom to piss, shit, or wash their hands.

What's so particularly horrible about what he said? And why did that warrant being fired if comparing the Celtics to Nazis didn't?

I kind a wonder what this sort of priority, has on the competence of the Ships at sea.
Destroyers do not get run down when attentions to seamanship is rigorous.

Why? Why the fuck do you wonder that? Why do you right wingers have this obsession with gay sex???

So now, the sea collisions are due to transgenders?? OMG.. You fucking people are literally... Jesus...

But wait, didn't your Orange Fat Hutt kick them out?

Huh? That doesn't make sense. It's Drumpf's privilege to shoot downward? Obama would've heard comments like ohhh when Glen Beck called him racist... Member that shit???



Now, how did Obama respond to that?? Ohhh that's right, HE DIDNT!!

He didn't respond becuase that stupid comment doesn't DESERVE a response...

Donald Drumpf is a fucking thin skinned SNOWFLAKE, who needs A FUCKING SAFE SPACE.

/THREAD

I don't see how any of this equates with the comment you left about white male privilege.
Therefore I'm not really sure how to respond.
I agree with a lot of what you left in this comment. But I don't see the correlation between the two comments.

Cranc and yourself basically said Trump is only allowed to lie, then get a cameo on the emmys because he's a white male.
While I could point to other politicians not male, or not white. Who've lied, then benefited from it.

I don't care about Hill as shes irrelevant, just like her co-host. Just like every single ''''''''sports'''''''' talk show.
I don't care who the host is, none of them are worth paying to see. If I want to listen or talk about sports I'll use the internet and go to a message board. As a lot of time the take from fans is just as good as people like Hill who get paid to talk '''''sports'''''.

ps. I really hope how I personally read your comment is what made it seem hostile. If not I'm pretty disappointed as I blocked someone a couple months ago for doing similar things in their comment towards me.

She got suspended for that:

"Hill was suspended for a week in 2008 after writing in a column that “rooting for the Celtics is like saying Hitler was a victim.”

I don't see how any of this equates with the comment you left about white male privilege.

They were 2 different comments that really didn't have anything to do with each other.

But the simple answer is Glen Beck is a white male. No one was in here, in MarAzul's words, was "disgusted" when he called Obama a Racist.

The thread happened when a Black woman had the unmitigated gall to criticize the racist in the white house.

I personally didn't like how you "fixed" my post. It was spot on. But most white males don't seem to know and certainly don't acknowledge that they are privileged.

(one must understand that white privilege doesn't mean you were born with a silver spoon).

 

[dviss1]

Me either. The only people that watch that crap want Spicer dead.

If you truly believe there are people who want Spicer dead then Jesus I don't know where to go from there.

Liberals made FUN of his idiocy. That's what we do.

They all criticized people. Seems the same to me

 

[dviss1]

No. The Racist Schilling criticized a GROUP of people. A whole demographic.

And let's be crystal fucking clear what he said. He shared THIS:

And if the men's room was "designed for the penis"

TRANSGENDERS HAVE THEIR PENIS REMOVED YOU FUCKING DUMBASS...

I see well sorry for fixing your post. My comment was meant to be funny, though I'm not all that funny irl. So trying to be on here might be an issue.

I don't know who Glen Beck is, nor do I really care. He sounds like an idiot.

So ESPN fired Hank Williams jr for saying something bad about Obama, but not Jamele Hill. However they did suspend her for saying something bad about a team?

You keep forgetting Simmons and Hank Williams jr.

I don't know what either of them said...

OK so who cares. He got his job back

[PtldPlatypus]

I don't know what either of them said...

Williams was let go from the network following comments on made on "Fox and Friends" in 2011 when he made politcally-charged comments about then-president Barack Obama. He said Obama's golf game with then-House Speaker John Boehner (R) was "like Hitler playing golf with [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu." He then said Obama would be Hitler in that comparison.

Williams responded by trying to clarify what he said by saying: "Some of us have strong opinions and are often misunderstood. My analogy was extreme -- but it was to make a point. I was simply trying to explain how stupid it seemed to me -- how ludicrous that pairing was. They're polar opposites and it made no sense. They don't see eye-to-eye and never will. I have always respected the office of the president."

Seems very different to me, though, as Williams was a vendor providing a service to ESPN, rather than an employee of ESPN as Hill is. One could argue that it makes it much more reasonable to separate from a vendor who generates unwelcome controversy. Then again, one could also say that an employee's comments are much more easily considered representative of the company than a vendor's are, and should therefore be held up to greater scrutiny.

Draw your own conclusions, I guess...

 

[MarAzul]

one must understand that white privilege

You know, you run on and on about this privilege year after year. Every since Obama used the fucking phrase,
Like a physiced Woodpecker, it's endless.
I bet you can't define the term and don't give me some bullshit article.
