No.

Beyond that, apply your same position to some other historical wrongs:

"And it's obvious that I'm not saying that it's in everyone's interest to just not give a shit what kind of image they're projecting, because that's not realistic. But the common belief that non-standard pronunciations are somehow an indication of low intelligence is wrong and needs to be argued with anywhere it pops…

Why are people treating this so earnestly?

Why is everyone taking this at face value?

... the more visible effort, the worse even a great punchline is. And yours, sir, is no great punchline.

I'd take that further (and meaner) and say that it's totally fine if Jordan's legacy is harmed, if he does get replaced, because it's unfortunate that when we want to celebrate 'the best' of basketball, we're forced to hold that asshole up.

ashleypants there said it better, but just to reiterate:

So, I don't have kids, but is it normal for dads to stand behind their daughters like that? It looks so fucking incestuous.

I got groped by a woman about a month ago. I was standing on the sidewalk, she came out of a bar, smiled at me and just slid her hand up my crotch (outside the pants). As a guy, inebriated, and much bigger than her, it was more funny than anything.

Yeah, standing, torquing your body for a second, and then standing again is an incredible test of fitness and endurance. No wonder there are so many fatass pitchers.

Your husband is cheating on you because he wants that sweet, sweet (see urbandictionary for some kind of period-sex euphemism).

Is this Goku white?

Tried Little Caesar's? Shut the fuck up.

Jordan would've whatever because people now are sissies

First, the entire idea that they were all whining about the heat is dumb.

Oh, totally. I saw Birdman (birdman) do that once last year, but the chair-pull has really fallen out of favor. But I want to see someone do it while going full-out on a fastbreak.

Y'know, I love this, because I know with 100% certainty that whatever language you speak natively, another native speaker would take issue with some of your pronunciations. It's how language works.
