I love 2017.


Nothing funny about sexism or Golden Knights' 'Ted' tweets

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Here is the tweet that just crossed the line, I mean this is out of hand, just really cruel and unnecessary...

I didn’t think it was funny but equating it to domestic violence and sexual harassment? Yeesh.

The joke itself isn't great, the outrage over it is silly. I feel like people are really going out of their way to be offended by this one.

If there is a hockey God, the Finals will be TOR v EDM for the next few years.


/looks at standings, becomes an atheist

A vengeful, old testament, punish everyone kind of God.

You're right, a final with some of the most exciting young players in the game would be a punishment.

More Pittsburgh please.

10 of the Sens first 16 games are against teams that didn't make the playoffs last season. They'll be fine.

Not only have they been fine, but it looks like Karlsson will only miss 5 games. Seems like he'll be in action tomorrow night in Vancouver.

We need finals of teams in up and coming cities who have never won any championship before.

Like, Oh... I don't know... Columbus and Nashville.

I seriously hope they don't issue one of those fake apologies.

I'm glad they straight up gave the whiners multiple passive aggressive "fuck yous"

Vegas should go for the double whammy and get Al Michaels to do play-by-play.

/By the way, I agree with Nasty above, dumb joke, but I think the outrage is also way over the top.

I thought the Al Michaels one at least had a late night vibe to it.

Funny you mention that, BBB.

James Corden apologizes for jokes about Harvey Weinstein after backlash

 

[tducey]

Didn't see the tweets but that whole account has become a comedy sideshow, still I doubt what they tweeted was worth the outrage.

Yeah, agreed. I mean, what fun would golf be if you can't say "Nice putt, Margaret" to a man when he leaves it 6 feet short.

Oh man.

Obligatory:

I made a reference to the ladies tee one time and a woman close by overheard me and said, "Excuse me sir, but those are the forward tees. I've seen plenty of elderly men tee off from the forward tees"

I replied, "Okay, but were any of them wearing pants?"

/cool story bro

I'm confused. He's mocking Weinstein and casting him as a sexual predator in those jokes. He's also calling him ugly. Is Weinstein not an ugly sexual predator that should be mocked and shamed? What does Corden have to apologize for?

 

[forty_three]

What does Corden have to apologize for?

Starting carpool karaoke.
