N.E. Brigand Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 When I heard about this little controversy last night, the first thing that came to mind was this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Snyder_(sports_commentator) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minutes ago someone said something equally cringe worthy on a different dcp thread. Basically turning a woman into an object rather than acknowledging her accomplishments. Wake up guys! saw that - remember at the time reading many other similar comments and couldn't believe it then, really really can't believe it now some people will never get it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, the gist of what he said . . . was dumb. To believe that guys can work harder in a short time is illogical. Given that he soon apologized, I don't think he'll be permanently blacklisted from drum corps. People have come back from far worse. It's not like he boasted about gr----never mind. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convo starts around 6:50. There are 2 problems-- 1 the guy has some clearly sexist ideas about work ethic, and he did not back down at all during the course of that show. 2. Both commentators are winging it and not at all comfortable doing so. This results in some very stupid comments. And if you're uncomfortable in saying it...then don't say it in the first place. Seems simple to me...although I guess I'm a simpleton (shrug)…. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigW Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Heck, let Ream and I do the commentary. I'd do it for less money and keep it safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks N.E. - I should just mention - your avatar pic is against DCP policies for being political - My avatar pic was removed by our moderator Toby - I asked him: will you be removing N.E. Brigand's profile picture as well? How about E3D? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the moderators feel that he must go, well, it's not my forum and they can do as they please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks apolitical to me, in a craggy sort of way. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
