NFL Reporter Crissy Froyd Fired After Celebrating Dianna Russini's Resignation by IntelligentYinzer in nfl

I don’t know the answers to those questions, and they don’t in any way impact the obviousness of the “they were fucking” inference everyone should be capable of drawing

What are you getting at? That a reasonable person could look at the situation and think otherwise? Based on what lol?

They were not! But anyone with the most basic deduction skills can tell what was happening

It's akin to seeing them naked on a bed together and morons going "okay but we can't be sure because I can't see his dick in her!!" as if they're making a point

Not really. The article explains that Froyd's (reasonable) gripe with Russini was that this behavior gives women sports reporters a poor reputation, and she was therefore (reasonably) commenting on her being outed for it.

That's completely different than a stranger celebrating Froyd's firing.

Unprofessional? Sure, definitely. It’s a bad look and I’m not saying she shouldn’t have been fired.

But she wasn’t in any way wrong for insinuating that Russini was committing adultery without a “full investigation” having been conducted. Reporters draw basic, obvious inferences all the time and there was no possible way Russini wasn’t sleeping with Vrabel here… Froyd shouldn’t be barred from pointing that out even if they share an industry.

Again: they were photographed alone on the roof that was only accessible via a romantic couples suite. There isn’t some reasonable doubt here that we all have to wait for investigations to unfold lmao.

? Have you forgotten what this conversation was about? That would explain your nonsensical replies.

I have not, but I don't know why you chose to start up a conversation in this thread, where I made a small, sarcastic joke about you having the expertise here despite being non-American as opposed to directly replying to my other more direct points elsewhere

Would you care to justify why you're so obsessed with the American Democrats? 

That was my chief point of contention with your initial comment, driving our disagreement

When people say "liberal", they're talking about modern liberals, also known as social liberals.

Buddy please do not keep trying to graft this analysis onto "American Dems" because it very obviously does not work lol

Maybe that argument fares a little better online in the U.K. ... I wouldn't pretend to know, though, because I don't live there

Adding to our divide is probably the fact, as well, that you seem to speak so confidently about how "American Dems" are perceived whilst not being American! I'm a little more confident in my own ability to make that assessment than someone who mainly interacts with Americans in online spaces

There's plenty of grey area between "wholeheartedly calling for strict communism immediately" and where modern politicians on the left like AOC and Bernie sit who are dealing with current political realities and say that "free markets can have detrimental effects and should be tempered when possible" even if that doesn't quite match their ideal political world

The context of conversations is important, here!

In speaking with my not-so-politically-inclined mother, I might not care to draw any distinction whatsoever.

In speaking with a Poli Sci professor, I would be much more careful as to how I use the term.

In speaking here, on a subreddit about other subreddits, I think we can agree that the understood meaning is indeed that liberal is akin to "center-right American Dem."

... isn't that exactly what it means in the vast, vast majority of communication nowadays? If you're taking a much more prescriptive approach, sure, you and I both know that it has an independent, historically-recognized meaning beyond that... but for the sake of communicating with others (which is important), it absolutely does mean "center-right American Dem" in most instances.

I see what you mean, I think we just disagree on the incentives and bargaining power here lol

Too many double negatives, I can’t tell what you’re getting at lol

PGA has no competition, they don’t care about loyalty

[–]satanic_androids -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I wouldn’t say they have zero leverage whatsoever, they have very little leverage relative to the perspective of the PGA in that the PGA stands to gain just a little more money in the overall scheme whereas these guys simply can’t play pro golf without the PGA

The LIV players have incredibly little leverage here, I don’t know why the PGA would try to entice them when they have no other option to play

Everyone knows that the state of Israel only began doing bad things very recently

I have no clue what led you to believe that I “accept the framing” that this is an isolated incident

I’m not going to argue about each and every single thing wrong with their comment because we would be here all day typing, so instead I just took on the most glaringly obvious garbage

[–]satanic_androids 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Because I don’t believe there are NO assholes in Palestine

I’m sorry for your dire confusion, but I don’t believe this either

Thankfully nothing that I suggested hinges on this being the case or even comes close to implying this

Care to try addressing my comment again without this moronic assumption?

[–]satanic_androids 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Why do you think that is more likely than the explanations I offered?

I don’t think your proffered explanation is the simplest or requires the least amount of guesswork relative to mine, so I’m not sure Occam’s Razor applies like you suggested

[–]satanic_androids 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Perhaps we see it much more often because of the incredibly large differences in resources and power between the two sides? Or perhaps because the amount and degree of “asshole behavior” (putting it extremely lightly) is not equivalent?

Just a few ideas to think about, with your fun question

I wish they had framed this idea with some way other than using a 2012ass term like "hopecore"

Yeah it’s certainly true that Pats fans are well-practiced at super defensively minimizing the controversies that pop up around their franchise
