    I'm going to be 100% honest with you, Catfish - the moment you posted a link to Breitbart, I stopped reading. It proved my point entirely.

    Stop getting your information from places like Breitbart. It's not good information - it's propaganda.

    Edit: I went back to read the rest of your post, because you deserve to be heard.
    Show me where you criticized and called a fool Jason Kelce, Rob Gronkowski, Alex Ovechkin... all literally off the top of my head, and nowhere near the beginning of it.

    You're just lying, Catfish. You're just lying. You absolutely would not and have not criticized male athletes the way you have these women, whether that's what you want to believe of yourself or not.

    THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

    Start evaluating where you're getting your information. You're not getting it from good places. You are getting information that is slanted and incomplete, and meant to illicit reaction. And you're falling for it. Stop it. Stop falling for garbage propaganda.

    why are you bringing in Gronk and Ovechkin? Kelce was speaking the same talk he and Chris Long were stating all playoffs. No ones like the Eagles, which is true, and they don't care. I'm not calling him out for that.

    these woman? 2 of them. i can find other sites bitching about Harris too. are they all propaganda sites?

    omg what are you some nut fighting for woman's rights? Jesus Christ man. i called out the entire Carolina Hurricanes for celebrating after wins on the ice with games of duck, duck goose and other nonsense. i call it both ways.

    im done. go back to your fucking soapbox !

    Wow. I know im late to the party but that was some debate. The generational divide in a nutshell folks.

    Pretty surprising to see some of the things you came out with there dline. Absolutism and super-woke melodrama is not your usual style.

    It's not, usually, but this was a particularly frustrating exchange (taken in the context of a busy workday, nonetheless).

    Catfish was calling out comparatively innocuous behavior on the part of women, while excusing / not commenting on similar or worse male behavior in as comparable situations as possible.

    On top of that, he definitively referenced on multiple occasions far-right sources that provided, at best, highly slanted information, and often purposefully inacurrate information.

    So, I called a spade a spade. Sexism: check. Biased viewpoint with no self-awareness or willingness to self-evaluate: check.

    I may have handled the conversation better - again, not the best of contexts for me - but I stand by my points, based on my memory of the conversation.

    I think If you were 40 something and single that you would be more like catfish than you want to believe.

    you called me a liar and said i was wrong. it wasn't sexist at all. im calling a spade a spade and calling them out like so many others did. their former teammate said their celebrations up 13-0 were wrong. others chimed into ESPN too about it. nothing to do with sex or where i got the source. they were wrong and acted like assholes. they acted like assholes. the videos alone were damning enough without commentary from the any source. the video was everywhere.

    then you brought up gronk and ovi, who had nothing to do with the conversation. to me Jason Kelce was speaking the truth about Howie Roseman and no one expected or respected the EAGLES once Wentz went down, so his speech was more than accurate and fair.

    and i remembered after this conversation the Eagles Malcolm Jenkins and his nonsense with not saluting the flag-guess what my stance was the same on him as it was on Megan Rapinoe. So again, this has nothing to do with their gender or where I got it from. I thought and still think Jenkins and Rapinoe are wrong on their not saluting the flag and standing for the national anthem.

    I still think the goalie acted like a drunken asshole! show me another athlete acting like the goalie and i will call them out. this has nothing to do with her being a woman. you're so far off on that. and this has nothing to do with any source. that's how i feel and that's what you missed. you try to label me as some left wing nut that only follows propaganda sources without following the truth! that's wrong.

    and i hated rapinoe for 2 yrs now. not because she is gay. not because she's a woman. because she took a knee during the national anthem! i don't need any fucking source to show my dislike of her. her antics this WC only made me hate her more.

    It's a soccer tradition not to communicate with fans of the other team on gameday.
