Over what? A stupid Xitter fight?

I just don’t even see what Dan did so wrong here. Makes no sense. He’s been unfairly maligned for many years but this might be the most unfair thing he’s faced consequences for.

It was over the children comment. Maybe that guy is pressing charges behind the scene, who knows the ins and outs, and details. But when you say, "Do you want your children involved," and you're a high profile person, a storm could arise around you, especially with cancel culture zealots.

40 year olds aren't children for the 69th time. Jfc.

Dan Bernstein was the most popular Chicago radio host for being so polarizing. And he probably was the most knowledgable host out there. That said, those traits do not make him un-fireable. And you can chose to not like the fact that he got fired for getting triggered and arguing with a MAGA all you want. But the fact remains that A) this was not his first strike and B) he brought up someone's kids into a social media fight. It doesn't matter that the kids might be grown up. It's a horrible look. And we are in a day in age where what you say on social media can and does come back to haunt you.

The internet isn’t real life and Xitter is the lowest form of internet discourse. Who even cares to begin with. Should Dan be Xweeting? No. Should anyone be Xweeting? Hell no. I loathe seeing people like Greg Messenger get first validated by roping in a response from Dan then exponentially even more validated by getting him fired over it.

It's an ideology war. If it was the conservative host that said "do you want your kids involved" then the opposite people that think Dan should not have been fired would be saying the conservative host should be fired.

But that's just it. If we are going to have cancel culture in the first place where what you say on social media can get you canned, then you can't cherry pick who to target based on ideology. It all comes back to get everyone who is stupid enough to say stupid shit where people can get offended.

I think this will all settle down and people will be okay eventually. 👍

Lol yall keep bringing up "kids" but I'm sure as heck not going to redefine "kids" like these maga people when mine are beyond their mid-20s. Yall need to grow up and live the life you expect of everyone else 😆

Here's the thing no cap high key, just because your child still sleeps on your couch past 30 or rents other people's couches because they are not financially matured, they don't qualify as kids. Unless they are actually retaarded you can't even file taxes with them being dependants.

Yeah, I'm totally against cancel culture too. Two ideological bubbles at war with each other. It's pure satire from a distance.

Let's be honest, his tweet was dumb af but it isn't anything near what it was made out to be. He was retaliating against a 60+ maga troll, meanwhile these haters are celebrating this firing as a victory on Twitter with accounts who have tweeted far worse. Our mod @BaBaBlacksheep be posting tweets from an account that has literally frontrun, pumped and dumped crypto and stolen millions from his own followers, and is a habitually accused rapist.

Dan just made a veiled threat on some 40 yr old "kid"

@Mighty Joe Young has actually gone through with his own doxxing threats and posted underage topless pics of ccs forum members, and nobody is canceling him here or elsewhere.
Link please.😜

Do you even listen to sports talk radio? That's essentially the entire point of being a sports talk radio personality. Having an opinion being arrogant about it to the point that a guy wants to argue about in his car while driving to work.
I suppose people have their opinions about it. I personally didn't like listening to him, but as I said, I can understand why obnoxious dickheads enjoyed listening to him.

Yeah, a washed up has been that still gets the highest ratings of any sports shows in the city no matter which time slot he's in.
That's like bragging about being the tallest midget in the room. There's no real competition within the city. 10 years ago he was worth a listen and actually entertaining.
