The decision was dumb, therefore it was made by men because men are stupid. It was a blatantly sexist comment but was directed against men so it is OK.

Why would a woman in this particular case be prone to make a decision different from a man? But then sports commentators say a LOT of really stupid things in their quest to talk incessantly for hours during sporting events.<br /><br />Now suppose they decided to continue play even though it was officially the cocktail hour and someone said "I'll guarantee you there were no Irishmen on that committee." (Or Wisconsinites for that matter) Would I be offended? Nope. <br /><br />These things really are case by case and depend on the relative power and history of the groups in question and whole host of other consideration that might be involved in a particular instance.Sean Cranleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09170723474238012805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26434163.post-70704055637331180112012-09-11T15:08:28.814-07:002012-09-11T15:08:28.814-07:00Just wondering how many other layers of "you ...Just wondering how many other layers of "you can't touch this comment" I could think of. What if it had been a Native American broadcaster who said "they need to hold down the fort if it rains"? The media wouldn't know what to do. What if a Polish broadcaster had said "whoever made this decision must be a Pollock"? What if it were Sean Cranley saying "what would Michael Gibson do"? Ok just having fun now. . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26434163.post-3052510087618542702012-09-11T12:47:55.353-07:002012-09-11T12:47:55.353-07:00I don't understand your question anon.I don't understand your question anon.

I think so...Was it "niggerization" too? <br /><br />I think sometimes people in positions where others have to listen deliberately say questionable things just to see how far they can go without being challenged. Obviously some groups know that they can say anything and not be challenged.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
