Chicago Fanatics Message Board :: View topic - 9/19: Eagles fans aren't bad as long as they are rich

Another insufferable theory.

Dan just sent out a theory that the nice Eagles fans they have met on the remote are doing so because it would be cost-prohibitive for the "bad fans" to go to the game tonight due to the cost of attendance and the cost of plane travel.

Hooray for economic disparity!

What exactly does Dan get out of mentioning how bad the Police treat black people everyday?

Nothing. It's just a cover for him being a racist.

There was a time when Bernstein used to do gay jokes and objectify women. Actually, just 2 years ago. But he evolved so now he speaks against this sort of behavior.

Bernstein also used to use code words like "Wang whipper" to describe black people. Doesn't do that anymore.

Now, is he any less racist, sexist or homophobic? No. It's just an act now. I don't think you change much from the age of 40 to the age of 45.

Well, it's probably true, but you shouldn't say it.

I have no problem with what he said, which was basically take a minute to reflect on why players are protesting (to be differentiated from quietly reflecting on championships), but what I do have a problem with is his lecturing his audience on social issues. This is the same guy who told the people living in Englewood to make more money and move if they don't want to get shot.

He's a racist playing the role of a white MLK. I don't like that.

The inverse appears to be true with Blackhawks/Canucks/Jets fans, where the locals who are priced out of their home games find it more affordable to fly to Nashville and Phoenix and be rude and drunk there.

Hooray for economic disparity! i actually agree with the theory.... though realistically all of deadspin fan fight videos and other rowdy fan behavior is less than 1% of the fans attend the game... but it's easy to throw blanket assumptions that therefore all the fandom is bad (Ligues?) on a side note CH wins avatar of the month award

It did seem out of place to go from the ZZ report with the anthem practice in the background to that sermon. It is what the show is though complete with the jingoistic strawmen.

Or how an off duty in Minnesota might have saved unknown lives. At this point, he's a propaganda stooge for a lie.

Heard about 10 minutes while driving earlier and Hub was praising RedZone channel. "What a wonderful innovation!". Can't wait to see his reaction when he finally gets a smartphone.

I spend so much time in the tunes section I was thinking this thread was something different.

I do have a problem with what he says in that there is an implication that he is the only one out there who understands that the underlying message is important.
