I think you're just mad he called out the stupid people about to make stupid comments. You read it and thought "Derp, I'm busted already".

Your mileage may vary, of course, but it seemed to me like the second and third were being deliberately snarky (this is the internet, after all), and the first one was making the valid point that the network might possibly have been deliberately contributing to the objectification. I interpret it as adding blame to…

Well, your original post is also imprecise. You suggested that 'rhythm' was making a comment that he was actually lampooning: "So far, it's just you." That's might be why Alex posted about you not understanding sarcasm. Upgrade your reading comprehension.

Fair point. So I don't pay enough attention to usernames. But if we change the single use of the pronoun "you" from my previous post, I'm still going to confidently stand by the rest of it.

Okay, go ahead and educate me, oh wise one. What was he actually doing that I failed to understand (since you've decided you're qualified to speak for him)?

someone doesn't understand sarcasm

TYPICAL LIBERAL MEDIA BEING THE PC POLICE!!!! She should be flattered.

"Alright, let's talk about Beyonce and Jay Z, can we?" Yeah, that'll recover your image as a credible, serious news source.

But it's maintaining group control, which is the end-all-be-all.

That kid'll lay down the smack on both her sisters...

Remember when Mom would turn the car around and drive right the fuck back home because your two sisters wouldn't stop fighting, so none of you got to get ice cream that night, even though you personally had nothing to do with it? Like that.

Cue the white boys flooding in to complain about how prejudice everyone is against white men and how haaaaaaaarrrrrrd they have it and blah blah, something about racism towards white men.

We can always just follow Greendale Community College's fine example and change the team name to the Human Beings. That won't offend anyone, right?

Maybe we should let Native Americans decide that. Or better yet, consult with them on a new mascot. And if they say they don't want any Native names or iconography, then respect that.

I would also be concerned with the removal of all Native American ancestry from team names and images... just seems like, with the Native population already as marginalized and forgotten as they've become in this country, that removing them further from the public eye would be a bad thing.

Attaboy. Fight prejudice with prejudice.

Whether it's 9% or 90% of Native Americans that find the name degrading and demeaning, 100% of people who fight to keep a name that degrades and demeans people are assholes.

Frankly, as a Native, I find the term "Indian" more offensive since it shows that white people think all people of color look the same and that you were geographically inept. So let's go after Cleveland instead...

This really has nothing to do with men at all though, does it? That one lawyer they quoted summed it all up nicely; "It illustrates the basic premise that sex harassment is about power, not sex."

This is going off-topic, but I feel very much the same way about presidential candidates. Who looks in the mirror and says, "I'm the one person who's qualified to lead the entire country?" I just can't trust anyone with that much arrogance.
