There is no line. Sexist jokes can be funny. Norm proved that. Let's just say that funny, sexist jokes were Normalized.

it pains me to say this that i've laughed at more of my fair share of sexist jokes. there has to be a paradigm shift at some point, while I appreciate Norm's humor, time's are changing. As a father of two girls, i'd hope that its for the better.

Anyway, GBO.

There is a fine line between funny & sexist jokes.

I dont mean to say the product is terrible, which it can be. But, I enjoy sports all around. My frustrations are same in womens athletics. The hypocrisy of NCAA intervening for parity sake has caused lack of parity. Imagine if we let a group of Kindertartners run a board room.

How did the NCAA intervene for parity in the women’s game?

I’m a girls dad and I feel that we worry too much about jokes and words in general… I focus more on teaching my daughters to be mentally and physically strong…. The Norm joke has some truth to it since even women don’t support the WNBA… They would rather support the Kardashians or reality love shows.

Anyone else trying out the Youtube TV multigame view?

Seems well done, but I'm only getting 2 games rn and each view has a game at halftime or between games.

Give me all 4 games and I'l be fully happy.

Thanks. Though it's "not just to argue". Just comfortable with having respectful dialogue (well, mostly 😆) so it's a natural part of conversations. "Argue" sounds like 2 people yelling at each other emotionally - negative connotations and all, rather than simply discussing, like Gee and I were doing comfortably.

I definitely will narrow things down to very particular premises to try and get them straight or further discuss them, whether or not I even agree with the overall conclusion. Many times I don't, but I'd rather be part of a genuine discussion than some disingenuous debate. Even sides I agree or disagree with in nature, I'd rather not let a false premise go unnoticed. It's the partisan folks that hate it. They'll think I'm over on one side one minute and the opposite the next, when really I'm just trying to help everyone involved tease out and clarify the bases of the debate 😆

Better to have genuine discussions in society, otherwise everyone is so fragile and explosive when they do discuss things. As we see these days. Folks can hardly talk to one another on many topics without it going south. Being nuanced is seen as being combative. As if discussions or respectful debates should be taboo. It's not healthy.

And if you disagree, I'll wafflestomp you at the nearest waffle house!

See?





Just kidding man. Debates are good.

You could be Iowa state who scored their first field goal with 9 something in the first half. Why can't we get a bracket like that?

Parents need to teach children that it's okay to laugh at yourself. We live in a world where feelings are hurt way too easily.

People definitely dont laugh like they used too.

But, humor hs changed a lot also. Audiences dont laugh at same stuff. Everyone has to be shocking or offensive.

Honestly why I love Gaffigan so much. Guy is just funny.

Not so sure laughing at ourselves is the cure all. Each child is very unique. But, I definitely dont see coddling as the answer. And right there is the reason there's so much puddin' in the world.
