Ho boy he walked into a buzzsaw on that one. Awesome stuff from Halford and Brough.
Can't tell if Frank is arguing in bad faith or if he's genuinely naive. At one point basically claims that Ellen Hughes is being asked to critique her sons because they said they were proud to be American rather than because they laughed along with an obviously sexist joke directed at her gold medal winning team. Can't imagine they go anywhere near this on any other shows.
While on the topic, full credit where it's due to Jeremy Swayman for his comments on the whole thing today: “We should have reacted differently... We know that we are so excited for the women’s team. We have so much respect for the women’s team. To share that gold medal with them is something we’re forever grateful for.”
Really shines a light on how either out of touch or stupid some of these other players are not to have come out and just said something similar from the jump.
