And if Griner were a Lady Vol, all would be fine, I suppose.
Not for me, I'd probably joke about it more then..
I go by the South Park style of comedy/ridicule. Everyone, including myself, is up for being made fun of. In fact, not making fun of something, no matter how touchy a subject, is worse than making fun of it. If you have to single out one specific thing and say "we can't make fun of this/him/her/that" then you have no right to make fun of anyone or anything. All or Nothing, no in between.
I'm really shocked how butthurt people are getting over a simple topic on a message board, it's not like anyone is strapping you in a chair and forcing you to read it, Clockwork Orange style.

No one is forcing me to read it, that is true. What is also true is that I always thought Freak holds VN to a higher standard.
So, basically you want one person's opinion to control what others can or cannot say?
There was an entire topic joking about the sandusky case, should it go?
How about every topic making fun of Dooley or Rod Wilks?
While we're at it why don't we just get rid of every other forum, topic, and post, that isn't flawlessly supporting what is moral and upright in one person's opinion?
This is the internet, if you're crying and whining over the morality and high standards of a joke about if a 6'8 female who talks and acts like a man is or isn't one, then I would be terrified if you saw places online that actually try to offend people. You may just want to unplug your internet connection now to be safe.
Well, I had a nice post to respond, but apparently someone was butthurt over it too. So, I'll just let you keep whining about something that isn't a big deal to a very large population. Sorry you can't find humor or understand how the world works outside of your little flawlessly moral bubble, but I'd say you'd feel quite a bit differently if griner punched you in the face or if in a few years he/she got tested for the olympics and failed due to testosterone or low grade beaver tranquilizer.
