So is there a list about things that can be joked about? Violence against women.....yay or nay? Asking as Kimmel joked about violence against MTG. She complained, Kimmel responded that it was just a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RatkoVarda Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I'm sure that Disney let it be known to McAfee that this story line is over. Nothing actionable in what Rogers said. Aaron is such an unlikeable human. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking as Kimmel joked about violence against MTG. She complained, Kimmel responded that it was just a joke. Still a different thing. AAron went on national TV and suggested Kimmel was a pedophile over real world events, real victims, etc. Not just a general statement or, sorry... "joke". Rodgers has not said it was a joke or apologized. This whataboutism thing is really tiring and intellectually lazy and lame. I mean seriously.... what is your motive in defending someone accusing someone else of being a pedophile? Why do you care? It's like when white people get mad that blacks can say the N word but they can't. Why do you want to say it? Why does it bother you? Do you have a personal interest in this? Is AAron your cousin or lover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewsieg Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Not sure what that has to do with anything. MTG is an idiot, everyone on this board agrees with that. Is it OK to joke about hitting women if they are idiots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gilmore Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 It is Kimmel’s job description to tell jokes and he does that on a wide range of topics. Congressperson or NFL player? Not in there job description. Free speech, yada yada…false equivalence is all bs. Bottom line: if someone gave you a hard time about your covid opinions would you consider that as much an attack as them accusing you of pedo rape?

oblong Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 "Yeah I know that person was driving drunk but you were driving 55 in a 45 zone" MTG is a huge flamethrower of toxic vitriol and downright meanness towards people. Kimmell didn't suggest anybody punch her. He's a comedian doing jokes on a the comedy portion of his comedy show where jokes are told. That is not even in the same ****ing ballpark as an NFL quarterback talking about current events on TV and suggesting out of the blue that someone is going to be named on a list of pedophiles. Why are you so concerned about him being able to do that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you're right that it wasn't, what is the harm in assuming it was though. It's not like he said it deadpan on an Oprah interview, it was the Pat McAfee show. I'm not trying to defend, I was just surprised by the uproar from Kimmel, who has made his living making fun and telling jokes about people, i'm sure many which haven't landed well. Kimmel got offended, the nice thing would be for Rodgers to just say sorry. He probably won't because he's a jerk. Still, is it that big of a story that we should all gang up on Rodgers and demand he be sued? Seems like you're the people that are really bothered by this stupid joke.

Tigeraholic1 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Ratings over everything: https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/absence-of-jimmy-kimmel-from-jeffrey-epstein-list-raises-stakes-for-aaron-rodgers-espn Unless and until ESPN pulls the plug on Rodgers, it’s fair to conclude that ESPN likes it. People tuned in on Wednesday to hear whether McAfee would address the situation and, if so, what he would say. People will tune in next Tuesday to hear what Rodgers will say. And they’ll now be even more likely to watch whenever Rodgers is on, because there’s a chance that Rodgers will at any given time say something that will create a firestorm.

I kind of want to say your statement is ridiculous, just as ridiculous as anyone that would back up MTG on that stupid Will Smith joke Kimmel made about her, but then I saw this: Look at the date of this vile tweet. Matches up with when they broke up. Now we know why, because Kimmel saw this and realized he couldn't be with such a disgusting person. Now, I don't know why they have been civil and friendly after this, probably because the network forced them to be, but i'm glad he blackballed her because Pedophillia is not something to joke about. Kimmel has been consistent, so for that alone, he deserves an apology....oh wait... He's married to a women that is advocating for child neglect and he's still with her. Raising kids with her! What, does he think child neglect is funny?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oblong Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 it's always fascinating when people want to find the line to when it's ok to be a jerk or not. "This guy is a thief" "Hey, don't say that about him. That's not cool" "Why not? He once made fun of somebody for thinking the earth was flat." "Yeah but that's not the same thing as accusing someone of a crime" "Yeah but his friends made a joke about stealing something, same thing, right?"

Everything causes death threats these days. About 15 years ago, during the 2010 election when the nutjob Republican Sharron Angle (who would be tame now) was running for Senate in Nevada said my hometown was under Sharia law I went to a a few You Tube videos claiming the same thing and simply stated in the comments section that Dearborn was not under Sharia Law and I got responses threatening me with death and my email inbox got flooded with so many threatening emails that I had to end that account.

The easy answer to that is: "That's because there is ZERO ****ing crime in that area (dip****)." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
