Wyatt, why have you forsaken Me, Jesus, and your country?

I wish Holly had not accepted the apology. I wish she said no it was unacceptable what you did and no, I will not accept your apology because it's not genuine and does not undo the damage.

I also understand she has a job to do, bills to pay, and probably would rather talk about the sports than this.

Laura does know that at her time of life, she wouldn't even be a wife, right? Aunt Laura is the best she could hope for?

Anyone who calls a woman “hog” should be immediately suspended.

Perhaps Laura should consider retiring and giving her job to a man? Because the misogyny that brought these sentiments is also the same that thinks any woman in the workforce is taking that job from a man who needs it more. After all, he might have a family to support.

brb my eyes rolled so far they are under the sofa now.

Being the token woman among misogynists is the same as being a token anything. You are tolerated by the group for as long as you can be used by them.

Laura's only one misinterpreted report about a conservative man away from getting her on AI slap video.

it's frankly adorable that they think male sports reporters are any likelier to have experience as former players or coaches hahaha. because journalism, sports ability and coaching skill all overlap significantly on the Venn diagram.

Arch’s uncle Peyton Manning put his ass on a trainer’s face and then laughed about it being “harmless.” Because that’s a quality family right there.

Steve Sarkisian knows the deal, ffs. Coaches in both college and pro football talk to the sideline reporters at certain points of the game all the time. Every game. It's part of the gig, whether the team wins or loses. Treating a veteran reporter who's just doing her job with such disrespect is going to come back at him hard, not least because he knows better. As for Arch Manning, his very famous uncles need to give him media lessons, stat. Buncha dumbasses. JFC...

I've been watching CFB forever and Holly Rowe is fantastic. Disappointed in Sark. Arch is a Goon. Sexism ruins everything.

noname's avatar

Isn't "Sark" a well-known asshole, or am I confusing him with another one of many?

KO's avatar

He's a coach of a major program, being an A-hole is baked in. But he cleaned his life up, got an assistant gig under Nick Saban and parlayed that into his current job.

Jen Is Discrete's avatar

I can think of many coaches who were not assholes, at least, in public.

I do not think it is that baked in, is it?

I hated hearing that kid laugh and hated even more all the male laughter in the room supporting him. Those were reporters, right? Colleagues of Holly Rowe. Yukking it up hahaha about that video which is just gross. I sympathize with her. She was doing her job and the coach decided not to do his, at her expense.

Laura Ingraham is a pick-me. Pick-mes can find reality again but it has to come from inside and I don't see her doing that work.

Did not like all the links to X. I realize we have to keep an eye on things but wish there were other ways than sending traffic to Elon and his CSAM generator over there.

I am haunted by the thing Anne Applebaum wrote about Ingraham at the end of that book she wrote about how conservatives she was friends with and married to had become the raging fascists everyone on the left had long been saying they were and how it was completely unexpected. She added a whole chapter about her specifically. She wrote in a sympathetic tone about how Ingraham had been so broken by the end of Reaganism, and so dedicated to re-establishing it, that she would do anything, say anything, be party to anything that promised to resurrect it as the governing ethos of the US.

I felt genuinely no sympathy for her at all, only a further disappointment in Applebaum. However, it does seem to indicate some things about Reaganism that a lot of old conservatives probably don't want to accept.

Vic's avatar

Applebaum does serious work but has always been, at heart, someone with a vulgar Eastern European peasant mentality automatically loving Reagan and his successive dimwit evil Republicans. I don't trust anything she's ever written.

We know how we got here; we need to concentrate now on how to fix it.

They all thought Reagan was the start of a thousand-year reich, but then we got two very popular and capable two-term Dem presidents, so they had no choice but to back a decrepit Nazi idiot rapist shitstain fraud

Vic's avatar

He did start a thousand year Reich, in that the GOP now carries his solid brand of taking pride in ignorance, worshiping greed, and loving violence. Bush the Dumber and Trump are the natural extension of the stupid, parochial puppet.

Ingraham isn’t a real name, you can be Ingram or Graham, not both.

Daniel's avatar

Ingraham was actually a state Dinesh D'Souza... never mind.

Sun's avatar

…the f**k is wrong with people? By yesteryear’s standards, I would have been ostracized from my (deeply conservative) hometown had I behaved like Laura Ingraham, and rightly so.

Joe Christmas's avatar

I despise those AI slop videos. on any side. They are going to cause a lot of problems and are generally just dreck. I know I'm in the minority.

Jeepers!'s avatar

uh I don't think you are in the minority. Those videos are just a shitshow and going to cause problems and anyone with half a functioning brain can see where this is leading.
