I understand the need to be sensitive to everyone and everything now, but unfortunately, humour will be completely diluted to the point that jokes will be.

"Why is it bright outside? Because the sun is glowing, yaaaaayyyy!!"

Then some scientist will come in and say, "That's offensive to my education, and frankly to the scientific processes that takes place within the sun. The sun is actually radiating heat due to hydrogen and helium fusion. So I suggest that you quit being insensitive to those of us that actually understand the science, and invested 6 years in University, and quit brushing the sun with 'wide stroke' terms like "glowing". It's highly offensive."

Not every quip at a buddy, or rival fan is rooted in some sort of racial hatred, bigotry or misogyny. Sometimes they are just stupid digs. Low hanging fruit. It is easy to tell the difference when someone is being mean spirited, or just making a stupid jab. I suggest that any comments about the riot be filtered as well. Because personally, I would be more offended and ashamed to be grouped with those guys, than have someone tell me I throw like a girl. Also diving references need to be removed as well. Because you are suggesting that hockey players are superior to professional divers, and they are lowering themselves by committing the act of diving. Therefore insinuating divers are less 'human'.
