What a dumbass.

 

[shack]

I was just about to post this.

My title was going to be: Jack Morris Has Always Been a Total Dick.

The incident comes 31 years after Morris, during his playing days, told a young female reporter that he “only talks to women when I'm naked if they are on top of me or I'm on top of them.” Morris, who was not naked at the time, was defended by then-team president Bo Schembechler, who blamed the Detroit Free Press for sending a female reporter into the clubhouse.

Complete jackass.

So long Jack, it was nice knowing you.

 

[Insidious Von]

Jack Morris ok, see you.

Shohei Ohtani is a freak, a lights out pitcher who can mash...I've never seen that.

Morris might be dumb and a dick, but this shit is getting out of control for fuck sakes.

Major networks will air sitcoms like the Simpsons where they make jokes all the time about Apu, working in 7-11, and Morris says in a very light hearted way "be very very careful" in a barely audible and recognizable accent and gets suspended.


It's getting to the point where soon we won't even able to talk about other people, and comedy in the world no longer exists because nobody can take a fucking joke.

I understand if you don't like that culture, but anybody with any idea of what's going on knows that this is what is currently happening. He is in the public eye (or ear) and works for a public company who rely on viewership. He has no filter and no common sense. He should have known better. Like Tony Rocky Horror shoulda' fuckin' known better.

It's not a matter of me "not liking the culture". You pointed it out yourself. "What's currently happening". What's happening is a fucking joke and society seems to be picking and choosing when it's okay and when it's not okay. Not to mention, it's gotten out of control to a point you can't even have fun. I bet there's no Japanese people out there upset over Morris saying "be very very careful" in a voice that resembled Elmer Fudd more then it did Japanese.

Like I said, nobody is saying fuck all about the Simpsons, but now were up in arms over this???

I remember reading an article about a bunch a feminist who wanted all words with "man" in them changed. Words like "manhole" and "policeman". I remember thinking "what a bunch of over sensitive nut jobs that are wasting their time". I'm starting to now believe this it's a possibility, especially when people like you support this train of thought.

Actually, "this shit" is finally getting some kind of control because it's been out of whack for a very, very long fucking time.

People thinking that my Spanish speaking friends (from Argentina, Spain, Colombia, et al) are all from Mexico and then quoting Speedy Gonzales in a weird cartoon accent. WTF?!

People assuming all Asian people are from China. I can't tell you the amount of times I've been on a date with a Korean or Japanese woman and this is just automatically assumed. It's only the Asian people who don't assume, the majority of the rest does.

"Brown people are all from India". This one is just so fucking out there it has no explanation. It actually drove a former Guyanese GF to tears.

This kind of shit just goes on and on because people are so small minded that they can't get out of their own head and think the world exists only in the language and culture that they speak and know.

I hope this process continues so people will stop and think for a second before they speak bullshit yet again. Here's hoping...

While agree for a long time the pendulum was way to far on one side, it's now swinging to far on the other side. This Jack Morris incident is an example.

The pendulum being on the first side was there for centuries, now that it's swung the other way, it's been the equivalent of only a few minutes.

It'll be a long, long time before things even out. This Jack Morris incident is an example.

No, the Jack Morris incident is not example. I bet no Japanese people found this offensive including Ohtani. Heck, I bet even a few of them probably had a giggle about it, but now Jack Morris is suspended because the ridiculousness of people taking shit to far and way to serious.

 

[Insidious Von]

I saw the clip, I don't think Ohtani will lose any sleep over it. At best Jack Morris can make restitution by smelling his farts. After all, if Jake Roberts can take a 40 seconds fart from Andre the Giant, Jack Morris can get cheeky with Ohtani.

Maybe Shohei Ohtani can have fermented tofu for supper.

 

[Phil C. McNasty]

Ohtani claims he was not offended.

Shohei Ohtani ‘not offended’ by Jack Morris’ mocking Asian accent

It sounds as if Shohei Ohtani is not seeking further punishment for or another apology from Detroit Tigers broadcaster Jack Morris.

BTW I hear Dutch wooden shoe and sticking finger in the dyke jokes all the time, should I go to every employer now and demand these people be cancelled??
(in case you dont detect sarcasm very well, no I wont do that because I very rarely get offended over anything)

Manhole cover and policeman are outdated and were replaced to show women can work alongside men. Maintenance cover and police officer are improvements. Maybe cooler to call them crimefighters like firefighters?

hahaha! Crimefighters totally works, but we somehow might offend criminals by using their name in it.

"Well, folks, Shohei Ohtani is coming to the plate and it's been brought to my attention, and I sincerely apologize if I offended anybody, especially anybody in the Asian community for what I said about pitching and being careful to Shohei Ohtani," Morris said.


"I did not intend for any offensive thing and I apologize if I did. I certainly respect and have the utmost respect for this guy and don't blame a pitcher for walking him."

Political Correctness Is...

Conditional apologies.

So if no one is offended, there's no apology. In my hood, we call that "Growing half a pair".

Of course he wasn't offended. Who the fuck would be? Morris sounded more like Elmer Fudd then he did a Japanese person.

There are 127 million Japanese people, I bet I could count on one hand how many were offended, if any at all.
