Bernstein is an Idiot...and a Pig

[Desperado34]

Or just very vocal about his opinions? Obviously, I think this more correct.

I find it odd people recall various defenses Dan has made over the years about other peoples comments in relation to this.

All I know is I've definitely heard him say worse things about other women, be it an athlete or an anchor on air than that he likes their giant boobs. Don't truly care enough about him to recall things he really said though.

I don't think it's 'recalling what he said'.

This is being discussed on various forums. I for one, am just relaying what others have said in multiple threads on multiple sports and news forums.

I haven't heard or seen the comments, but apparently he's made some shady tweets about Kate Upton and a few really nasty comments about Brittany Griner. That shit's all gone surface and become exhibits C, D and E.

But it will be interesting to see how far the outcry is. Dan is a far lefty - he's supposedly 'one of them' when it comes to feminists/etc. Wonder if they'll be calling for his ouster? Surely that would happen if he was on the other side of the social issue perspective.

Although that is tasty - especially on Deadspin. Watching them eat one of their own!

"Self righteous" is a subjective opinion. Opposing violence against women doesn't mean you're a hypocrite if you voice admiration of someone's boobs, even if it is done in a childish and unprofessional manner.

The issue here is the definition of the word "hypocrisy", and this ain't it.

Not in the context of violence against women, but the 'women as sex objects' and 'objectifying women' - which he taken as social warrior platforms multiple times (as recently as last week) - umm, yeah, it absolutely is.

This is no bueno. It's completely unprofessional. I imagine he's in some deep shit after this, but maybe not since he can say whatever he wants and is pretty much invincible there.

Spiegs should've told him to knock it off too instead of trying to avoid it. Just a really, really bad night for 670.

I think i need need to report this thread.

both for slander and bigotry

Everyone knows jews don't eat pork

Dan carries the 'I'm offended FOR you' cross for women.

And yet his behavior suggests otherwise. Whether it's Megan Glaros or Kate Upton or whomever - what he suggests is anything but noble.

If he was just a dude saying 'she sucks as a reporter, but has a great rack', that's one thing. When you carry the sword of 'Civil Justice Warrior', you are gonna get shit - and be called a hypocrite - when your words and deeds suggest otherwise.

That's the thing though, I don't think he does "carry the cross for women". His platform has never been based on sexism, but abuse. It's always been about abuse, whether it was Ray Rice, Brandon Marshall, Penn state, Adrian Peterson, Jerry Sandusky, or even Ray McDonald (which is an instance I disagree with him). It's always abuse.

Again, this is childish, stupid, and offensive, but it isn't hypocrisy.

What is all this, "one of them" talk of breaking things into some the other idea? That really doesn't highlight any random objective view of anything.

But mentioning it i do recall Boers once saying he thought Kate Upton was skanky or slutty or some word like that and Dan was saying she just looks like a girl that wants to have fun and knows shes hot is all.

FatBabies,

I think you should probably take a break for awhile. You are caring way too much about this non-issue. It's borderline unhealthy.

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

Has the actual woman involved made a statement about this? I mean - does she even care?

 

[How about this]

I still remember Bernstein and Boers calling that guy (old man) from Park Ridge every week for his movie reviews. The old man clearly was disabled maybe Alzheimer's or some dementia. The whole thing was a bit so they could laugh at the old guy. It was frigging disrespectful and sad. I was like this idiot has a Duke education? He learned nothing!

My take on the whole thing, the ass-wipe Bernstein should have been fired years ago and his echo Boers as well! They troll for bad callers so Dan can verbally abuse them. Just a horrible station, I do like Spiegs I think Dan just ruined him though. I like Holmes as well and Mulley and Hanley they are ethical people it seems. Bernstein and Boers are lying sacks of shit that needed to be fired years ago. Enough said!

Dan Is that you?

No, just someone who understands the English language.

I've never been harassed at work. I just find the public outcry pretty nuts in retrospect of what real "harassment" is in the work place. Pretty interns being sexually advanced by a owner of company is an issue.

Dan Bernstein saying he like a chicks boobs on twitter?

Really?

Define "real harassment."
Sorry, but I wouldn't want to risk my career based on a comment that a pretty decent amount of people find offensive. I'm not going to argue about the degree, because it's all subjective, but I'm smart enough not to tell a colleague "Love them New York bewbs." I'll save that for friends I know that can take jokes.
My eyes and brain can go "Nice shirt potatoes," but I'll be damned if I'll roll those dice and utter it or tweet about it.

Social media is all about people grabbing pitchforks and torches to certain situations, but in real life most of these people are too lazy to roll out of bed.

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

Nice shirt potatoes might be the best thing I've heard all week.

My ex-girlfriend once called hers "fun pillows."

 

[truthbedamned]

No, just someone who understands the English language.

I will fully admit I am gleefly watching this moron squirm in his own cesspool. He has made his career attacking and belittling people. Now the shoe is on the other foot and I have no issue loving every minute of it. I call it karma. Wouldn't bother me in the least if he gets run out of town.

I get it. Your a Bernstein fan. I am not. We can just leave it at that

You clearly haven't listened enough. Blackhawks Shoot The Puck, Ice Girls, Hawk Harrelson comments, Dick Vitale.

Most of these were in the last month.

So, no, it's not always abuse.

Dan has a bunch of tweets about shit like 'Verlander motor boating Kate Upton' and what not that was brought up on other forums.

Yes, it's funny - if it were 22 year old bros in the bar.

This is a man in his mid 40's publicly representing a brand.

It's just dumb shit on his part.

 

[FatBabiesHaveNoPride]

FatBabies,

I think you should probably take a break for awhile. You are caring way too much about this non-issue. It's borderline unhealthy.

Why? It's just killing time.

I also like seeing hypocrites and dickheads getting their comeuppance.

 

[FatBabiesHaveNoPride]

My ex-girlfriend once called hers "fun pillows."

I heard two old men on the #22 Clark bus say 'they were so big, I used one for a pillow and the other for a blanket'

 

[FatBabiesHaveNoPride]

Has the actual woman involved made a statement about this? I mean - does she even care?

I doubt she will. I'm sure the powers that be at Comcast and her agent have advised her not to say anything.

That said, I've seen tweets/responses from a shit ton of female sports types that are really pissed - Jen Lada (actual woman's co-worker), Michelle Beadle, Shannon whatever her name is from the Sun Times, etc.
