Tangelos Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 saying she'd be the first female referee [in the NHL] is a completely accurate and obvious statement. Dumb question by Karen since it was in fact a delayed penalty and a "no sh!t Sherlock" statement by Keith. Dumb and Dumber the sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Doctor Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 He was just pissed off at the time since they lost. Good reporting, bad attitude from Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monteeun Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Look guys, someppl handle a loose better than others. He's just pissed. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Kieth's a douche, i'm not surprised by his comment. i don't know if he was being sexist intentionally not not, but the comment itself is inherently sexist, but it may have just been a result of the frustration of getting completely owned by their bitter rivals that drove him to attack at the lowest common demoninator, since it was probably the first thing that came to his mind. I wouldn't expect anything less from a Chicago player though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksJay Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I have and it's not? He put the word "female" in there - you can't erase that part. Don't pretty it up to fit your argument because you can't overlook the "first FEMALE" referee. Dirty Dunc swung low again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monteeun Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I don't see how people are ok with this What if it was... Bush: Well maybe we should get you as the president eh? Obama: Maybe, but I'm not so eloquent Bush: First black president. Can't probably think either right? But you talk like you can...see ya Wait but that would be racism?

CanucksJay Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Like someppl have said, i don't think it was intentionally sexist but the comments can be. I think he just reacted poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride the red Pony Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 She could have said "Do you think the hack across the back on Daniel was justified?" But she got her point across. Good on her for calling him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poetica Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Of course he was pissed. They got owned! But, there's no defense for his comments. Frustrated, sexist or both, he was a dick pure and simple. Keith, like all pro athletes, has media training and gets paid not just to play hockey, but also to talk to the press and represent his club and the league in general. They get asked dumb, uninformed, rude and repetitive questions all the time from people who very likely don't play the game (certainly not at a professional level) they spend all of their time sitting at a desk writing about. It's not new. It's not a discovery he made last night after being asked a question (for probably the one millionth time) by a female reporter. It's the job. If Luo hasn't swung for anyone yet, Keith should be able to keep a civil tongue in his mouth and answer a few questions like a professional. Besides, this was NOT a dumb, uninformed or rude question. Despite him pretending it didn't happen, he whacked Daniel so hard it was literally audible on the broadcast. So, of course he was going to get asked about it, especially when the player he slashed was the exact same player that just a year before he deliberately hit in the head and caused a concussion that endangered Daniel's health and career and certainly damaged the team's 2012 playoff hopes. Keith lived in BC as a teen, so he knew what kind of media circus he was in for when he slashed Daniel like that! Maybe he's right and she doesn't know how to play hockey. (She, being a professional and trying to lighten things up, acknowledged that she doesn't know how to skate.) But, the last time I checked, there was no athletic test for reporters so it's completely irrelevant. She was doing her job and obviously well enough to ask a question that hit a little too close to comfort for Keith. He, on the other hand, ignored his training and experience and allowed his frustration and anger to get the better of him, proving that he was the one who didn't know how to do his job!

Monteeun Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Well if it wasn't intentional, he must be one of the dumbest people out there because it sounded completely sexist. There was absolutely no reason to point out she was a female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 What was sexist about it. You guys need to take off the homer glasses. Take the second line of your statement to answer your first. Your true "in Chicago" colours are showing.... Anyhow, w/e. Add "Dirty Dunc doesn't play nice with girls" to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pinchin Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Oh no, I disagree with the majority, that does not usually happen but here it is. Karen Thompson asked a stupid question and got a stupid answer. Keith used the ammo he had to try and make her feel dumb about asking pretty much the dumbest thing she could have asked Keith. "Duurp, do you think you should have gotten a penalty"? What is that??? Now don't get me wrong, Keith's answer was total garbage and it shows his poor character, but it wasn't sexist, it was an insult. If Keith was more intelligent or a real man he would found a more sophisticated burn, but hey, it's Duncan Keith, pretty much what I expect form him. Karen, learn from this one...

thema Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 My opinion on this will depend on what the original question was. The question on that clip was a dumb question that obviously wasn't a real question, but really a biased accusation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangelos Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 So if he said "The first black referee. You can’t play probably either, right? But you're thinking the game like you know it? Okay, see ya." it wouldn't be racist? Give your head a shake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
