yeah and conservatives who were calling the players names for kneeling weren't limiting their free speech either


was anyone saying they were?

male sports journalists from non-athletic backgrounds get comments like "well you never played the game" from athletes literally all the time


do they also get comments like "well you obviously don't know shit about the game because you're a man"?

No - but no woman has ever played professional football, so in this context, it's basically the same comment.

and kneeling for the national anthem because some criminal in ferguson got shot is incredibly stupid too

(or, more accurately, kneeling for the national anthem because trump said that kneeling for the national anthem was a stupid thing to do)

"women know nothing about football" is a "casual joke"? what is this, an andyman "LOL HE WAS JUST KIDDING" defense? it seems like a blatantly sexist comment devoid of humor to me.

Except he didn't say "you never played the game." He said "It's funny to hear a female talk about routes like ... it's funny."

Like a woman could have never ran a football route?

In any sense that's actually meaningful, yes.

I mean non-athletic male basketball reporters have surely shot a basketball at some point in their lives, but it doesn't stop those sort of "haven't played the game" comments.

Also no shit. When racists are made fun of for being hypocritical baby snowflakes complaining about the kneeling, it's not claiming they want the football players to go to jail.

He didn't single her out because she never played "meaningful" football.

He literally singled her out for being a woman and women obviously cannot understand routes, to him.

Despite that we even have female referees who literally have to understand the rules of football.

The correlation between "women" and "played professional football" is exactly zero, therefore, it's the exact same criticism.

Then why not say "you never played the game before"? Why single out her gender unless you believe it's her gender, not experience, that makes her unqualified?

he was also at a press conference and on camera, though. he wasn't talking to one of his friends in a bar.

doesn't mean he's not allowed to say what he did, but i hope he wasn't surprised that his comment got an insane amount of backlash. otherwise he'd be even more stupid than his comment made him look.

So I watched the Dave Smith comedy special all the libertarians are raving about.

It was okay. Not great. Entirely political which is a bit of a turn off. Overall it probably made me laugh more than recent specials by some of the big names like Chappelle or Norm but the bar is higher when you're some unknown nobody.

Also the audience must have been hand selected or something. They were super on his side, and it honestly just sounded like a laugh track at times. When you say ridiculously un-PC stuff like that you're expecting to hear the crowd gasp or a few of them boo or something but instead he says things like "Women kinda like to be grabbed by the pussy" and everyone laughs all generically as if Fonzie just hit the jukebox and it worked again.

It's not really political comedy if you're obviously pandering to a base. That's just a rally. Political comedy requires enough ambiguity they the audience doesn't know if/when to laugh or what to agree/disagree with.

http://reason.com/blog/2017/10/11/supreme-court-considers-dc-house-party

the supreme court can be hilarious sometimes

JUSTICE KAGAN: And when looked at from the reasonable partygoer's view, there are these parties that, once long ago, I used to be invited to where you didn'tdon't know the host, but you know Joe is having a party. And can I say that long, long ago, marijuana was maybe present at those parties?...I mean, from the partygoers' point of view, they just know that Joe is having a big party, and it's a good time, andand maybe there will be some liquor and maybe there will be some recreational drugs.

All cases should be judged based on the reasonable partygoer's point of view
