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

[Mike C]

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.

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.

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.

So dumb. Political correctness run amok.

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

 

[BlueDream]

I don’t know how old you are, but “problematic” has been around for a long time without seemingly any controversy.

Or are we in the business of hating on multisyllabic words because they sound too complicated?

Nobody thinks the word “problematic” is too complicated.

It absolutely has become a buzzword to describe anyone who has ever said anything remotely controversial. The people that use it are the softest people alive and have ruined social media (like Dom).

This Dom dude is an absolute joke in this situation but TDA man you gotta know when there is a golden opportunity to take the high road and be better for it

Nah, TDA just gained points here for making Dom look like a fool. He did well.

Soft people like Dom shouldn’t have a following online. I cannot imagine living my life based on the opinions of idiots on Twitter, but evidently there are people that do that. Most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen. Having a backbone doesn’t seem to exist much anymore.

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

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

Why on God's green earth does Tim f*ckin' Peel have a podcast? How is the worst referee in the league during his career who also got exposed for his own corruption popular enough to have a post-career podcast?

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

IIRC it later leaked through teammates that it was a slur for an Italian

According to this the slurs were directed at teammate Daniel Nikandrov, who is Jewish.

When the Hurricanes first signed DeAngelo in 2021, a long time poster on the Hurricanes board (who linked the artucle) claimed he heard the specific slurs were 'k*ke' and 'I'm going to rip your Jew nose off'

Confirmed with Link: - TDA -1m, 1 year

https://www.newsobserver.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/luke-decock/article253083688.html The Hurricanes are bringing in a player whose past actions are reprehensible, someone who even in the most neutral light doesn’t represent what Hurricanes fans believe (or believed) their team to be. The...

The day Biden became president elect, he tweeted "what happened to COVID-19" in response to what he perceived as a shifting narrative, after it was in the news constantly running up to the election.

Seems like sarcasm to me.

I'm not trying to defend him, just genuinely curious how stupid he actually was in that timeframe.

This was in reference to a right wing belief at the time that the media was covering the pandemic in an effort to tank Trump's 2020 re-election bid. Hence, if Biden won, the media would stop covering covid.

 

[the valiant effort]

Get your houses in order, Dom and Tone!

 

[Andre Palot]

Social media was a mistake.

Technically this board is a form of social media.

Actually I think that proves your point more

 

[Buttonwood]

Sums up the state of the analytics v eye-test in 2024. One guy probably can't hold more than 1 thought in his head at a time, the other can't even have the conversation unless it is deemed 100% virtuous by everyone that already agrees with him.
