yesterday morning, then that bisch started in about the Cam Newton comments and how she ran routes with her brothers and played powder puff blah blah blah sexism racism so I ended up having to turn it off....again. Can't even watch Around the Horn anymore without some social justice lecture. Look ESPN, I've got a wife and mother with a strong personality, I don't need more women in my life giving me sermons about stuff I DGAF about.

Me changing my underwear in the middle of the night is more athletic than the crap they put in the top-ten.

WYFF and were totally fugged because of it. Fox Carolina was giving us a nice BEEP BEEP BEEP update every 10 minutes or so basically informing us that it was raining. Amazing how people actually survived storms before television honestly.

I don't even watch the NFL.
I only watch ESPN for the 4.3 seconds of Clemson highlights (and to SMDH at the 5 minutes of TOSU, Notre Dame and Georgia highlights). I'm sure as chit not going to watch ESPN at all if they keep up this lecturing to me crap.

A lot of businesses seem to be like this

When times are good, there's no foresight that this run might not last forever, so they essentially start giving customers the middle finger and taking them for granted. And then when things do start to go down hill (heh), for whatever reason there's zero self awareness as to what the issues might be. Cable companies have done this, ESPN is doing this, the restaurant I worked at in high school did this, helll Clemson's doing it in many regards. I think it pretty much just boils down to the fact that people in groups are idiots.

Most don't really have to be in groups.

Which is sad and generally frustrating as hell.

that men in the public eye cannot dare mention without devastating consequences.
We just don't care to be lectured by a "strong" woman we don't even know about things we a)didn't do and b)don't care about. We already get that from the ones we already know and have to live among.

I didn't even realize I was boycotting her.

I turned on ESPN this weekend and she was yammering on and on some nonsense, and I'm all "What is this chit? Where's the Clemson updates? Eff it. What's on Velocity?"
And *click*, she was gone.

Is pretending that she doesn't exist the same as a boycott?
