Doug Whaley comments going viral


Recommended Posts

This was mentioned for two minutes yesterday in Cbus and they moved on. They basically said he was taken out of context to create a headline. Bigger story in buffalo I guess but only because it's a slow news cycle.

This story is only still a thing here. Keep up the good work. Only 3 1/2 months more before we can complain about actual games.

Yeah, because problems usually go away when you ignore them. God forbid they actually get acknowledged and addressed. Hope the hole you keep your head in is comfy.

So now this is a problem? Ay-yay-yay. :doh: This was a blip on the offseason radar. This is only a problem with people who spend their time getting lathered up over nothing.

 

Failure porn.

This is what is knows in politics as a "Kinsley Gaff" (after the political writer Mike Kinsley). A Kinsley Gaff occurs when a prominent politician (or other spokesperson) accidently, in a moment of carelessness, says aloud a truth that everybody knows but that nobody wants to admit because they have powerful interests in living a lie. A Kinsely Gaff usually sparks outrage and ridicule from hordes of people who know it is the truth but who do not, cannot, acknowledge it. The speaker of the truth must be humiliated and made to recant so that the state of public ignorance can be maintained.

 

A recent Kinsley Gaff in politics was when a member of the Benghazi committee said that the investigation was achieving its goal of undermining Hillary Clinton's reputation. Another was when a political operative for the Republican Party expressed satisfaction that the new draconian voter ID laws in his state were going to work to suppress Democratic turnout.

 

I expect Whaley to be beaten about the head and shoulders by every person involved professionally with football, and many fans, until he has to crawl on his hands and knees and beg forgiveness for saying THE THING THAT MUST NOT BE SAID.

 

:worthy:

I think you need to gain a better understanding of what the term "problem" means.

Terrible post, go to PPP.

Except the people making hay of this quote include everyone EXCEPT those who would benefit from "living a lie" and not having people like Whaley say aloud this truth---those would be the owners of the 32 NFL teams. I don't hear them forcing Whaley to "recant so that the state of public ignorance can be maintained".

 

In fact, it is the public ridiculing him, mainly (here anyway) because it is the latest in a string of public blunders he has committed in less than a month.

 

No a great example of such a gaff....

I've explained it. If you want a lengthier explanation, feel free to PM me. I try cases for a living.

 

I'll have the lengthier explanation, because as someone who was formally the United Kingdom Government's 'Head of Civil Negligence Law' I don't see it.

Can't stand how the media went after Whaley for speaking 100% truth!

 

I guess playing a game that causes 30+ year olds to spend multiple hours just getting out of bed in the morning is what the human body is built for...

Not that it matters, but I respectfully disagree. The sports media and NFL fans everywhere--not just the owners--have a huge interest in this truth not being spoken by anybody in a position of authority in the NFL. The owners don't need to volunteer a word in public about this since the media are doing their job for them. Plus, if anybody were to ask any of them about it, do you think any NFL owner is going to admit that Whaley is right?

Doug's as honest as they come. I would know. I'll tell you at a tailgate sometime (I will host Cincinnati!).

So what that he told the truth? Geesh.

 

And BTW where is our local Commish and when will HE be chiming in?

I'll be at the Cincinnati game!
