Berns said something like "BEING GAY IS NOT AN ACTIVITY!"

got a chuckle out of that.

I don't know what Dan thinks "rape culture" means, but I went to grad school in the humanities, and I can assure you, people who use that term properly would all consider keeping your wife on a weight plan, referring to WNBA players as "wildebeests," and saying "I have no problem whatsoever objectifying the female form" to be examples of it.

It's conceivable Dan doesn't understand the definition of "culture."

Whoops, almost forgot about the time he applauded the Bears for ignoring Brandon Marshall's lengthy history of domestic abuse, and the time he gleefully tittered along as his producer said that all the women at the Blackhawks' championship parade were "sluts" who deserved to be impregnated by absentee fathers.

Mark my words, someone teaching Dan the term "rape culture" is going to have the same effect as teaching a three-year-old "This Is The Song That Never Ends."

The "sluts and absentee father" comment came from a "man" whose children would be better off being fatherless.

Stay off the sidewalks in Lisle people.

What's lisle? Is that the place close to naperville and Fred Huebners home?

well said--I think Danny should stay away from trying to assert any kind of feminist credentials...I've always thought that he always played up his "but her face" bit and other objectifying shit because he was insecure that he didn't have enough "guy meatball" rhetorical flourishes...

p.s. that whole wife on a weight plan has always creeped me out btw

It's not my show, but I'm on that show.

Like I've said before, Danny Deadspin wants to have the social justice seal of approval, but he doesn't want to actually put in the work to get it. And why would he? All that privilege-checking and language-parsing is a colossal pain in the ass, especially when you're not even one of the Intersectional Oppressed Minorities™ all this rhetoric is supposedly meant to empower. As a result, expect Dan to start barking "this is rape culture! this is rape culture!" next time someone says Erin Andrews is a ditz.

He sells what he can sell. It just gets progressively more and more over the top and his agenda. His child oncology seems a front whereas simply because Mac has an autistic child whom I believe he truly loves, doesn't seem a front. I get Bernstien and his shtick it just has gone too far to feel valid anymore. When he was just a nerd with mostly valid views it was entertaining and terry mostly cared then and there was balance. Now it is all his agenda no matter what. Ratings slide so he barks louder but forgot that he was once actually rude but interesting. Oh and valid.

One Step a front? I can't speak to Dan's altruism but don't let the hatred blind you, young mult. I will say that having to hear about all the goddamn events is nauseating and I wonder why they let such a professional troll sit on their board.

Wait, what? He has his wife on a weight plan?

He has made jokes about not letting her get fat, but I suspect she won't let him get fat and means it.

Of course. Doesn't your husband have you on a weight plan?

yeah, I don't remember the second part exactly going like that.

yeah that last part was all drinky. I don't recall dan joining in with that. Drinky took quite a bit of heat around here for that segment

I didn't say he joined in. I said he tittered along. Part of dismantling rape culture is calling out apes like Abbatacola. Like CH said, Dan loves the buzzwords but doesn't want to do the work.

The really ironic thing is that Dan uses the SJW vocabulary in service of pure neoliberalism.

I'm pretty sure they made it clear that they thought those were bad thoughts, and the laughter was more in line with "holy crap I can't believe you're saying that." That's the way I remember it.

Its a rather short list of the times they thought someone with their show expressed a bad thought.

That wasn't one of those times.
