    I think the fans were all pissed anyway and didn't like the announcement.  This gives them am easy out to kick him to the curb.

    I thought he and Jennings did great.

    I liked Bill Whitaker, Rodgers and Robin Roberts too.
    I thought Jennings was the best, and really, he's the right man for the job. Richards was good to but oh well. I also liked Bill Whitaker, but wasn't impressed at all by Aaron Rodgers (no matter how much the sports media was) and I actually thought Robin Roberts was pretty bad. 

    The girl that played Blossom was good too. She has been tapped to host special events (Tournament of champions, etc.) but who knows if that will change with Richards out. 


    Here's the article that pretty much brought him down. F Me In the Brain is right to say there was a backlash. It seems as if he pretty much chose himself for the job (as he is the executive producer). I don't give a shit about Richards one way or another, but the idea that you can be pressured into stepping down from something for stuff you said years ago is getting pretty tiring.

    It doesn't seem to be affecting Ric the way it seems to affect "mainstream" celebrities. maybe people aren't surprised, given his on-screen character?

    How about Rose McGowan? She seems to think she’ll be permanently canceled by the elitist democrats.

    no, she just wants attention from them and when she tries to get it they ignore her.

    She can think whatever she wants. What does being “cancelled by elitist democrats” look like? She should be cancelled for backing Larry Elder.

  • When an actor can complain to international media that he has been “cancelled” while he receives an award for his work, it’s clear that it doesn’t really mean anything at all.

    Fallout begins for far-right trolls who trusted Epik to keep their identities secret

    The colossal hack of Epik, an Internet-services company popular with the far right, has been called the “mother of all data lodes” for extremism researchers. Some of those named in the data have already lost their jobs.

    In the real world, Joshua Alayon worked as a real estate agent in Pompano Beach, Fla., where he used the handle “SouthFloridasFavoriteRealtor” to urge buyers on Facebook to move to “the most beautiful State.”

    But online, data revealed by the massive hack of Epik, an Internet-services company popular with the far right, signaled a darker side. Alayon’s name and personal details were found on invoices suggesting he had once paid for websites with names such as racisminc.com, whitesencyclopedia.com, christiansagainstisrael.com and theholocaustisfake.com.

    The information was included in a giant trove of hundreds of thousands of transactions published this month by the hacking group Anonymous that exposed previously obscure details of far-right sites and launched a race among extremism researchers to identify the hidden promoters of online hate.

    After Alayon’s name appeared in the breached data, his brokerage, Travers Miran Realty, dropped him as an agent, as first reported by the real estate news site Inman. The brokerage’s owner, Rick Rapp, told The Washington Post that he didn’t “want to be involved with anyone with thoughts or motives like that.”

    Alayon told The Post that he does not own the ‘racisminc,’ Holocaust-denial or other Web addresses but declined to say if he had owned them in the past; the records were hacked earlier this year. But in a screenshot of his Epik account, which he sent to The Post, the information for four other domains he currently owns matches the private records that can be found in the Epik breach.

    Asked why his name, email address and other personal information were listed in company invoices for the ‘racisminc’ and Holocaust-denial domains, Alayon said the data was “easily falsifiable,” that he was the possible victim of extortion and that The Post was “fake news.”

    Epik’s founder, Robert Monster, who did not respond to requests for comment, said the company’s data was hijacked and urged people not to use it with “negative intent.”

    In the latest episode of "Cancelled" the world finds out that Jon Gruden is....   an asshole!   (shocking!) 

    I'm not sure I'll see a person on this forum who thinks Gruden should still be a coach...  his career in pro sports is likely over after it was revealed that he's a dooshbag. 

    I wanted to use this example.. one of many... as an example of the dangers of labelling these circumstances "Cancelled."  

    See the problem with Gruden is that there will be a lot of folks who believe that is another victim of "cancel culture."  

    "Ahh..  I see Gruden got cancelled." 

    Look, if people are going to continue with this word... I think it's more fitting that we change the language a bit here. 

    Jon Gruden did not GET cancelled.  Jon Gruden cancelled himself.

    The spin is already in effect.  On the conservative radio they were just asking how players that have been found guilty of domestic abuse, drunk driving, accused of sexual assault etc, get to keep their careers, but this guy doesn't because of his words from 10 years ago.  Oh and they are having rappers on the halftime show or something...the outrage is being generated already.

    That's a pretty reasonable argument to make if you feel like making an argument. 

    A lot of times, it comes down to optics. Ray Rice knocked his girlfriend out on video, never played another down. Joe Mixon was convicted of punching a woman in the face, and he's leading my fantasy team in points. Gruden having everything in writing is a deathnail. 

    Oddly, remember that Eagles player that said the N-word on camera at a concert? He didn't even get cut. That was pre-woke-NFL though.

    In the latest episode of "Cancelled" the world finds out that Jon Gruden is....   an asshole!   (shocking!) 

    I'm not sure I'll see a person on this forum who thinks Gruden should still be a coach...  his career in pro sports is likely over after it was revealed that he's a dooshbag. 

    I wanted to use this example.. one of many... as an example of the dangers of labelling these circumstances "Cancelled."  

    See the problem with Gruden is that there will be a lot of folks who believe that is another victim of "cancel culture."  

    "Ahh..  I see Gruden got cancelled." 

    Look, if people are going to continue with this word... I think it's more fitting that we change the language a bit here. 

    Jon Gruden did not GET cancelled.  Jon Gruden cancelled himself. 
    The spin is already in effect.  On the conservative radio they were just asking how players that have been found guilty of domestic abuse, drunk driving, accused of sexual assault etc, get to keep their careers, but this guy doesn't because of his words from 10 years ago.  Oh and they are having rappers on the halftime show or something...the outrage is being generated already.
    That's a pretty reasonable argument to make if you feel like making an argument. 

    A lot of times, it comes down to optics. Ray Rice knocked his girlfriend out on video, never played another down. Joe Mixon was convicted of punching a woman in the face, and he's leading my fantasy team in points. Gruden having everything in writing is a deathnail. 

    Oddly, remember that Eagles player that said the N-word on camera at a concert? He didn't even get cut. That was pre-woke-NFL though. 
    Fascinating!

    I agree that this stuff opens many cans of worms.   In general, when you reference "pre-woke" NFL....  would you say "wokeness" is a good thing or a bad thing?

    How this man still has a job is beyond me...Oh wait.  He plays for the Raiders!
  • Both Riley Cooper's n-word tirade and Incognitio's bullying scandal were from 2013. As I put it above, pre-woke-NFL. They'd both be done now. Especially Cooper.
