ToGoGo Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 We're mostly all guys here. We all understand locker room talk, especially those that played sports.  How could any of us sit here and allow Aikman to be cancelled because he spoke the way we've spoke ourselves our entire lives?  If your generation wants to be a bunch of dress wearing guys, whatever. But our generation doesn't have to submit to you. 1 3 1 1 3 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warcodered Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Quote Longtime concussion recipient Troy Aikman has decided the National Football League is doing too much to stop players from brain-damaging each other, saying during Monday night’s game that the league should “take the dresses off” when it comes to roughing-the-passer penalties. Yeah that's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Probably a dumb thing to say in this day and age, but to be honest ... Â ... I loved it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelius Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I'm hearing that this comment was misogynistic but I took it as a progressive comment. Aikman's more woke than the Karen's scolding him, he fully realizes anybody can wear a dress nowadays.  Weirdly though it's not even Karen's scolding him, it looks like it's all dudes on Twitter for the most part. What's a male Karen, nowadays? A Kevin? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least now when Brown or Settle move somewhere, everything moves more or less at the same time. No telling how long it would take the trailing parts to catch up with the leading parts if there was no uniform to bind everything together.
