What other history does he have Easy on the Republican talk. There are plenty of well spoken and intelligent Republicans. Besides, JR’s sexual talk is more liberal when he is involving other men! 3 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is completely about cancel culture, for it was a J O K E. Ruining a guy's life over a joke? Where does it end? It should be up to the consumers to dictate his worth to society, and not a boardroom beholden to a group of hyperreactionaries. Over. Dramatic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is just outside outrage. Agreed. Should've stayed within the friend group though. JR wants to be seen as a playboy, and now he's looking like a 50 yr old weirdo. Live and learn. 2 minutes ago, Squamfan said: she's not even that good looking though This is the kind of scumbag I'm talking about. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure_Pavel Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) The joke about having to think about sleeping with Sharp if he asked is pretty funny. I dont think comedy should be censored, which I think this was an attempt at. The real question was Kathryn offended by the comments? If you go on a vacation with your wife and another good looking woman, there are going to be some good three way jokes to be had, he probably thought because of the nature of the podcast he would be fine making these type of jokes, I mean the podcast is called Spittin Chicklets. Pretty bone head move though for a TV personally with all the Me too and cancel culture at the moment, especially in hockey.

Monty Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 2 hours ago, ThaManbeast said: hahahaha That's all hilarious and with good intent. 1 hour ago, ThaManbeast said: He's friends with all three of them. He also compliments all three on how well they do their job. I can guarantee you none of them are offended by this and this outrage is all purely just other people being offended for them. If she doesn't feel weirded out by his comments it's really not anybody else's business to be. This cancel culture is forcing everybody to be formal and boring even in the entertainment business which is what this is. 1 hour ago, ThaManbeast said: He's obviously not being serious. He was saying she was attractive and he telling a story about how he pretended he was with both of them to a stranger as a goof. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 This society is obsessed with getting offended on behalf of other people. White knighting online is the most popular pass time these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Western Red Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) Unsaid so far is that JR directly references himself being told to dress down, tone down etc. This may just be a huge NBC/Network flex.

reyezone Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Quit NBC and start your own YouTube channel/ Podcast. There is a huge market for personalities such as his. Could you imagine the stories and comments if JR had no fear of being fired? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Crabcakes Posted December 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2019 Objectifying and sexualizing women period.....offside. Objectifying and sexualizing men period.....offside. I guess he believes in equality. Congratulations. To do this in private is one thing but on the air? If he didn't think it would cost him his job he's got a tenuous grip on reality. Is there a hidden motive here? For the bright sparks who think that it matters whether the people named were offended? It does not. This is about what is acceptable in society. Does anybody think that maybe he has young fans (any fans) who think he's funny and that it's cool to behave like this? This is so not acceptable and good on NBC for firing him no questions asked. News flash, real men treat others with respect. 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Meh. I don't see the big deal. He's a funny, edgy guy being funny and edgy. Getting to the point you can't say anything anymore. That will be a shame as guys like Roenick are great entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
