Potential Problems with NFLs 1st Female Official

Usually, I enjoy humor, especially irreverant humor, but in this case I prefer to applaud the move without the typical jokes to detract from it.

 

-Dr. Killjoy

Pretty sure those NASA guys lived up to virgin nerd stereotype.  

 

Safe bet she knows more about football than you do Bob.

Man, some of you guys are married to some really dramatic women. Makes me appreciate my wife even more.

Well hungary, i would hope she does. She is a freakin NFL official. 

 

 

Leave the Huns out of this.

No respect.

Really? That is what you get from this? Whatever! LOL

 

 

I'm not sure how to respond to that.   Something about the "whatever" that made me envision you as a 13 year old girl.

 

 Disturbing.

Without a doubt.  That's kinda my point.

Based on that first picture, it looks like Goldie will be the first female NFL official.

The post was meant in light humor and not meant to be mean spirited or disrespectful  at all. I thought it was funny. My daughter in law sent it to me and we both thought it was funny. I shared them with several female business associates of mine who loved it and wanted to share them with others.

 

 I am sure the new ref is very qualified and knows every rule in the book frontwards and backwards.  Sorry to offend you guys.

Why would you expect that?  It's not true of the current refs.

Referencing FLBob, not you.

 

 

FL Bob - Yes, no respect. I don't find this funny. She busts her ass to get to the top of her profession and you pull out some out-dated misaligned stereotypes as a joke. 

 

 

Well thank you for your comments oh righteous one. I am sure the new ref has already seen the cutouts and found humour in them. And would most likely tell you to lighten up too. 

It's equally possible she has seen the cutouts and would like the creator of them to **** off. And would most likely tell you to join them.  

At least we can say for sure that Micah Hyde was not the creator behind these "jokes."

Can we? You can't spell misogynist without Micah Hyde.

 

 

He was talking about the Magyars.

Well, he did say backwards. Sounds like a perfect description for the current refs.

Seriously.   They made my wife chuckle.   

It's a few harmless jokes.  There is nothing personal or hateful in them.  People need to relax.  The PC Police can stand down. 

PC? A little sensitive yourself, no?  Sorry,  I didn't find it funny, and I don't care if your wife did.  I can only say something if I thought it was funny?  

 

Never said it was personal or hateful either.  Those words came from you. Hope your wife found them funny,  BTW. 

This is helpful. Thanks.

 

By the way, someone cut me off on the drive to work this morning. How should I feel about that? I was very happy when it happened. Is that right?

Heh.  I'm not the one berating a guy because of a couple harmless memes.  They didn't cross any lines in terms of decency, so if you don't like them, then don't comment.  But you don't have to publicly shame the guy for posting them.

 

And, yes...this is a typical attack by the PC police/mob.  I've seen this movie before.  Everyone better fall in line, or risk being the next target.

 

IMO, such group attacks occur too often on x4 by a select few.  If one expresses any level of dissent contrary to that group’s position, they are personally attacked.  It's unfortunate, because it takes away from what is otherwise a great board with good posters.  

 

And Goalline, the funny thing is I read your post differently.  I thought you were suggesting that the PC crowd must have dramatic wives, which is why they were taking offense to the memes.  So I was honestly agreeing with you.  I now realize that was a misunderstanding.  

Interesting that some people don't understand how humor works.  The idea is that you say something you don't fully mean, so we're not meant to take all of it seriously, yet it still conveys some sort of message.  The problem is that sometimes the underlying message it conveys is that we're not meant to take the person seriously.  THAT is the problem. It's not that the jokes themselves are so terrible or inappropriate or that the rest of us are somehow too sensitive.  It's that the jokes minimize the competence or value of the person and the significance of the progress it represents and that the joke teller is too clueless to recognize it.

^^^^

Micah Hyde is not in any way a racist. In fact, some of his best interceptions were thrown by white quarterbacks.

I get it now.

 

You've been talking about Fedya

       
       


You have got to be kidding me. Lol. You must walk constantly run into things with your nose stuck so high in the air. Lighten up Francis. Anyone with a clue knows it as a joke. No matter how much you and others here say differently. If I am "cluelss" in this matter that us fine. Beats the hell out of being a self rightoues asshole with their nose stuck in the air.

Clueless.

I tried. I really tried to find the humor in those pictures. I just didn't see anything worth even a smile. I didn't see anything mean or awful in them either. I couldn't even work up a good case of "I give a s***" either way. They were just... meh. Blah. Move on. 

 

I found Fedya's vid more offensive (and I see the spirit in which it was posted here, Fed, so I'm not offended), but I've learned over the years that this is a great board and sometimes someone will overstep the bounds and for whatever reason, get hammered. (I think the PC police would have stepped in long ago on some of the pictures, avatars, etc., if they wanted to.) Hey, take a look at some other boards where the four-letter usage in posting is higher than the IQs of the posters. Would you rather have that or the sometimes-witty repartee we have here?

My mom was chronically ill-tempered, so I always found that commerical funny in a "it's funny because it's true" way.

And of course, commercials for household items have portrayed men as preternaturally stupid for decades.  So it goes both ways.

French?

No, I'm just an amateur, but I will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.

May as well be. It's as accurate as the the other bs being spewed here.
