No one is lying to themselves.



I think she is terrific! And I am pretty confident that I am not lying to myself.

Not everyone is lying, I know some people will enjoy her expertise. But the majority of people are probably in agreement with myself. But you cant admit that without being called misogynistic. She isn't good on radio. It's hard to listen to her.

Nothing indicates the majority share your opinion.

How highly does one have to regard their own completely anecdotal opinion to conclude that it probably represents the majority?

Let's get real here: YOU don't think Mikkelson is good on the radio. YOU think that it's hard to listen to her. YOU believe that your opinions are not misogynistic.

Speak for yourself.

If you have to bring up misogyny and plead your case before anybody says it then you're pretty much conceding that its coming from that place.

If you were coming at it from a reasonable place of non-prejudice or hate you wouldn't be that defensive in making your point.

Classic case of "if you smelled it, you dealt it"

Nobody has to be thrilled with Mikkelson (I think she's been outstanding personally), but to go so far out of your way with a rant like that speaks for itself that it isn't just a "not my cup of tea" situation but a bigger/deeper issue.

Firmly believing the majority thinks as you do is quite haughty and presumptuous too. I think you're dead wrong about that.

You are absolutely 100% correct.

Speak for yourself.

No, I think I speak for more than myself. I speak for the people who are afraid to say what they believe. And I know I'm not alone

Oh, the drama!

CalgaryPuck: Where people are afraid to speak the truth about a trivial entertainment, because Big Brother is watching them.

And you know this without even having to ask them!

Still trying to figure out why CSEC is trying to appease Disney.

Not Calgary related, but why is Dan Shulman calling college basketball on ESPN?

I thought I was hearing things and then saw him on the broadcast.

Didn't he quit ESPN to be in Canada?

It's the Snow White remake. They started with a Snow White who is not snow-white, and seven dwarfs who are not dwarfs, and I hear they are throwing $100 million of good money after bad to try to fix it before release. That movie could end up being about anything but Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

CSEC is shrewdly betting that by the time Disney actually releases the movie, it will be about a hockey-playing gorilla and his team of misfits and underdogs. It would then be only natural to do the pickup shooting at the Saddledome.

Wha? Can you elaborate on this. Apologies if it's in this thread I don't feel like wading through the tired old bickering about women in sports broadcasting

Well, I think she's the worst commentator ever, and I am lying to myself. So I guess we agree.

Dude said Mikkleson was a diversity hire meant to appease special interest groups and Disney.

Ahhh the anguished wail of the ignorant. A sorrowful cry of the desperately clueless seeking a sliver of acceptance in a world they increasingly don’t understand and find scary.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

OK Theo take a seat.

He still does college ball for them.

Nothing indicates the majority shares your opinion either. Unless wait… do you work for Angus Reid with formal experience in user polling to acquire your verifiable evidence of a majority.

She was/is worse on TV. Radio isn’t a promotion. Does the majority want her on TV? Is that an indication?

I can admit I’m wrong if she ever gets tapped on the shoulder to do anything close to national coverage like Jennifer Botteril.

You know, Jennifer who is eminently listenable thus creating a more viable medium to convey her expertise.

Since when has CP been a place where people are afraid to speak their mind on any given topic? This board is absolutely full of dicks ready to speak with a full voice and half a thought on literally any topic.
