Dom Luszczyszyn apologizes after agreeing to appear on podcast with Tony DeAngelo

[a mangy Meowth]

What will we do without a podcast from these individuals?!

 

[NyQuil]

IIRC it later leaked through teammates that it was a slur for an Italian. Which is… not what people (including myself) were assuming when the story originally broke.

Then his dad from Philly gave that interview where he was like “yeah, we said that word every day growing up. So what?” and people (including me) were in full jaw-drop mode at what looked like something very different.

This is a total digression, but I'm trying to imagine a restaurant chain doing this kind of commercial for a BIPOC ethnicity:



There's an extended one where all kinds of different guests act like Italian-Americans.

Anyway, it's still on, so I guess Italians don't get all outraged about this kind of thing.

Is this really the world we live in, where someone feels compelled to apologize for agreeing to talk to someone people dislike?

That's a resounding affirmative

 

[Edgelord]

That's a resounding affirmative

I say not really, the culture is healing, where before some one could scream an ism and everyone would pull back for fear of being associated with x or y ism and now I'm seeing people metaphorically patting the OG screamer of the ist allegation on the head, saying now now and doing what they want anyway.

Even if they did get outraged about it… all you need to know is that it’s a guy named Tony DeAngelo saying the word.

Let’s just say there’s plenty of precedent in pro sports for people being allowed to use a slur for their own ethnicity, and zero credible people have an issue with it when it happens literally every single night on the sports calendar.

Soyboy is the only description which isn't censored.

So dumb. Political correctness run amok.

It’s certainly a lot easier to tell who the Nazis are when they go marching around in public in the daytime now like in Columbus and St. Louis.

Flashbacks of middle school.

I think those were the 1st actual Nazi's I've seen on my feeds in a cpl yrs. All the rest were wearing masks and 1 part of those idiots that always holds true is they are proud to be Nazi's so they don't hide their faces.

I was just being facetious.

But overall I think the majority of people of all political stripes feel like they are walking on eggshells at all times and it gets tiresome and exhausting.

Look at poor Dom here. Waded into a real shitstorm without a clue.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

I don't even think that Twitter account is actually Tony, i think it's a fake.

 

[NyQuil]

It was just as funny this time as it was earlier in the thread.

Shit...I didn't see the first comment with it.

But that meme immediately popped into my head.

It's a solid application.

 

[NyQuil]

Tony was pretty friendly here. A little good natured jab at him. Dom took that too far to the point he was being flat out rude for no reason.

 

[MMC]

Nah it’s him, he was going back and forth with Tim Peel last month and then ended up getting invited on and going on Peel’s podcast

I agree 100%, its like there are say 100 issues, we agree completely on 95 yet will argue all the time about the other 5. But in a weird way the political division is a symptom of a stable society, we have nothing else bigger to focus on. Its why I say any nation hostile to the US would be an idiot to attack them now. You have these 2 sides all revved up, ready to take each other on in some sort of societal cold war that would end up joining and turning their focus to said attacker like the eye of Sauron lol

 

[GOilers88]

This whole thing is hilarious and also a wholly sad and pathetic indictment on our society today.

 

[MMC]

Seems like this was the start of their interaction, Dom replying to him, so that makes his whole “he shouldn’t be given a platform” thing even more hilarious

 

[Dirby Kach]

This is all much ado about nothing. I don't get what the big deal is if DOM goes on a podcast with TDA? who cares? lol

 

[PocketNines]

Dom is a sackless embarrassment of a person but also an analytics foof with a model that is the best he can make it and the model is so freaking sad. Really a caricature Hawk fan.

TDA is also terrible, and when you clown yourself to someone terrible you are the weakest person

I don't know man, from my perspective, I don't see much healing although I wholeheartedly agree with your last sentence.

Common sense and moral decency is no longer the norm and everything hurts somebody's feelings no matter what the situation

I'm content to sit my fat ass on my couch on my cul de sac street with my doors locked and watch hockey and lament the good ole days of yore

But that's just me...

 

[BondraTime]

Dom is embarrassing

And the District of Columbia
