Can I get an explanation on the week long probation for posting something correct?

Did you guys just pretend I was saying something I wasn't saying, or is it wrong to defend Boston sportscasters, even from entirely made up poo poo?

Obviously legality and morality aren't 1:1, but this is something where they seem to line up pretty close and I don't understand the excessive reaction

It's a dumb gross argument and you were already told to drop it, just let it go. This is not a thing worth defending

Are you saying the excessive probation was because I didn't drop it? Because I did when I was asked to by a mod, and then I was probated for a week anyways.

It's not my forum to mod anymore but it doesn't seem that excessive to me tbh. I don't get why this is a fight you wanted to have. The dude was a creep regardless of what specific label you want to put on his creepiness and no good can come from an obnoxious argument over semantics

Also trying to restart the argument and complain about the probation in the thread is really lame, just PM her and I'm sure she can elaborate on the reason for you.

To me it'd be the same as making a distinction between, I don't know, slight antisemitism and overtly advocating for genocide. I don't think everyone who's ever made a jew nose joke is trying to kill all jews. I don't think these guys were trying to gently caress kids and it seemed stupid to say as much. Pretend the one thing is the much worse thing precludes any discussion.

What I'm allowed to discuss felt like a public discussion, dunno why I should have to beg for that over PM

I'm terrible at these things and probably missing something, but did the Proud Boys photoshop that arm in there? I can't tell who it's supposed to come from.

There was never any doubt that there wasn't some USA hockey woman flashing a white supremacist sign for the Proud Boys but whose hand is it? I can't figure it out :(

Since when is that a white supremacist thing? That was what we did to each other on the ship, and if you looked it meant you were trying to look at a dick.

I mean, still super regressive but goddamn. To the majority of people that would have nothing to do with a supreme race. If anything it's a sign that you're a hosed up child.

I think it was a white supremacist thing before that and since Trump does it (probably a coincidence despite his idiocy) it became a recognized thing. But it's also held upright, and that's pretty clearly someone playing a meta punch game

Oh you sweet unbroken brains.

The hockey player is doing that thing you used to do to your little brother or cousins where if you looked at it, you get to punch them. That's come back into popular memery.

The ok symbol, like okee dokee, became a white supremacist thing because of pepe doing it. Some news outlet covered it saying it was a white supremacy gesture (it wasn't). In response, the far too online CHUDs started doing it as a joke. But they were by and large white supremacists """western chauvinists" so it became one... TO. OWN. THE. drat. LIBS!!

Papa John's is ending its NFL sponsorship, probably because Papa John is a giant racist rear end in a top hat who has repeatedly said that players protesting is hurting his pizza sales. He previously had said that giving his employees healthcare would cost an additional 5 cents per pizza and he was against that.

Yeah that was what I was making reference to. He was pissed about having to give his employees healthcare, so he raised the price of his pizzas by I think something trivial like 5 cents? I do recall several various restaurants putting 'Obamacare surcharge' sections on receipts like anyone gave a poo poo.

Formula 1 is launching their own OTT streaming service called F1 TV. It'll be $8-12 a month and contain a non-live stream version which will cost slightly less. It'll have on board cameras for all 20 drivers and the ability to watch multiple views at once. I'm sold. Link below.

https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/headlines/2018/2/formula-1-to-launch-f1-tv-a-live-grand-prix-subscription-service.html

e: The F1 thread believes there is some ambiguity with regards to pricing due to phrasing on the words F1 TV Pro vs F1 TV so who knows about that.

Also Pizza Hut just jumped on the sponsorship opportunity and the corporate speak from NFL HQ is tremendous:

quote:

"The NFL and pizza appeal to the same demographic, which is everyone," said Renie Anderson, the NFL's senior vice president of partnership and sponsorship management. "Fans watch our game and they do it around a pizza box. That's why it's one of the most important categories in sports sponsorship."

“With a focus on family, friends and fun, Pizza Hut has the creativity we are looking for in a partner and we look forward to working together with them to make the at-home NFL experience more exciting than ever for our fans,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in prepared remarks.

FS1 going 3/4 screen to show more ads is pretty bad.

Also sometimes their HD is really bad but from what I understand that might not be their fault.
