Thoughts?

 

I’m not sure what there is to think about. That interview was terrible and entirely unnecessary. Total unforced error. There’s gonna be some sort of consequence

 

I don't think she was being any more accidentally low key racist than the average 75 year old white woman

 

Not to make light of the situation or anything but I could not imagine 500 of my colleagues banding together with a moment's notice to sign a letter about how much I suck

 

Aziz is back because “cancellation” is extremely temporary !

 

He was gonna make his comeback a few years ago, but his movie got shelved by Searchlight because Bill Murray was sexually harassing women on set, so he had to make a whole other comeback movie with much of the same cast.

 

Disgusting.

 

From what I can tell the claims that got thrown out are time barred, so it’s a procedural technicality. Doesn’t address the merits of the allegations.

 

Horrible piece of shit this guy is

 

fuck Dave Portnoy

 

I want to punch his face so bad

 

This is obviously not the same but he consistently lies about athletes on teams he doesn't like and just generally doesn't give a shit about telling the truth. If he has any redeeming qualities, he certainly hasn't shown them to anyone

 

Yeah it’s pretty far down the list with him. You have to wade through sexual assault, zionism, and gross politics before you even get to his sports takes.

 

I wish literally any athlete or former collaborator would take a moment to publicly condemn him but that seems to be too much to ask

 

He’s most shitty to Palestinians and women both of which sports communities don’t seem to care much about

 

The NWSL just started a major partnership with Call Her Daddy, who has not ever spoken poorly of Barstool/Dave and Caitlin Clark welcomes him to WNBA games. WoSpo communities are livid about both. Fans of men’s leagues are split at best

 

Oh I was talking about the teams and players, not fanbases which of course are large enough to be split. Although it’s still pretty bad across fanbases judging by the response around here to the baseball team changing it’s racist name and logo and the football team signing a serial sexual predator

 

Taylor Swift wrote that letter thanking him when he showed up to an Eras Tour show. Celebrities just seem to like him for no reason.
