So was I sexist too? Lol. I actually did get named.
Interesting medium crossover happening here. We come here to talk/debate our team and our sport, not be part of her movement. The comments made had nothing to do with her being female.
I’m not a Pronman fan at all. He’s not female obviously. We have female posters. We never really “go there”.
Yeah, I apologize about that. Obviously, if I knew that Sara would take offense and decide to weaponize her followers (something she was called out for, acknowledged, and said she’d try to stop doing during the whole Aho drama), I’d have left your name out of it. It was simply easier at the time to simply mention your name, since the mobile site is an absolute nightmare on the phone.
I’m still not sure where this drama came from. Judging from the responses, it was the insinuation that she doesn’t do any research for her articles(?), which I don’t think I implied. I only mentioned the Dom comment since it’s something she’s done multiple times, and she herself even has said so in her Twitter responses. But it’s apparently a joke? One that flew over my head, I suppose.
I was simply saying that writers have strengths and weaknesses in their skill set, and IMO, trying to write about the analytical side of the game is one of hers. I was the exact opposite. When I wrote, I loved digging through the numbers to see if I could quantify the unquantifiable. In fact (way back before advanced statistics were “a thing” in hockey), my first article was a big piece trying to determine if we could identify “home ice advantage” through statistics and if so, who had the biggest advantage.
But ask me to write a human interest piece? I’d hate writing it, it’d show in the writing, which in turn made me hate having to associate my name on the published work. I wouldn’t promote those articles at all and simply pray they’d die a quick painless death. It’s extremely difficult to write when the passion isn’t there
