Wasn’t it ESPN who fired Rush?
ESPN is obviously breeding absolute fruitcakes. Like Keith Olbermann (remember him?). Obviously the place needs to be cleaned out like a nest of vipers.
Well, observing that many sports figures and their sex partners are trash would be too honest.
I knew a long time but retired small town police chief. He once told me that a lot of women would purposely push their husband until he finally lost control and hit them. Then they would take him to the cleaners.
This guy didn’t say anything wrong.

“But as a man who was raised by women, see I know what I’m going to do if somebody touches a female member of my family. I know what I’m going to do, I know what my boys are going to do. I know what, I’m going to have to remind myself that I work for the Worldwide Leader, I’m going to have to get law enforcement officials involved because of what I’m going to be tempted to do.”
“But what I’ve tried to employ the female members of my family, some of who you all met and talked to and what have you, is that again, and this what, I’ve done this all my life, let’s make sure we don’t do anything to provoke wrong actions, because if I come, or somebody else come, whether it’s law enforcement officials, your brother or the fellas that you know, if we come after somebody has put their hands on you, it doesn’t negate the fact that they already put their hands on you. So let’s try to make sure that we can do our part in making sure that doesn’t happen.”
Houston we have a problem........She married the creep after he coldcocked her? Some people just do not know what is good for them. She should been out of his life forever after that.
In the guys’s (very) partial defense, I’d like to cite Erin Pizzey. She was the inventor of the idea of domestic shelters for women and children, and was for a long time a hero of feminists.
Then she strayed off the plantation by publishing her findings that many women in abusive relationships were addicts to the rush of emotional violence and in her opinion precipitated the episodes something over 50% of the time. This allowed the addict to violent emotions to cycle through anticipation, the extreme emotions of the violence, the abject apologies of her mate and the sympathy of all about her. Whereupon the cycle repeats itself, ad nauseum.
In Pizzey’s opinion, formed over a very long time and interviews with thousands of women, something close to 2/3 of the women who were abused by their mates fit into this group.
Which is not to say that there aren’t many women who don’t and are closer to the classic victim of the bad dude of the feminist story. I had a family member in this group. Her (large) husband beat her repeatedly and badly, until several of us had a discussion with him in which it was pointed out that he’d find it difficult to beat her with his arms and legs broken. Never laid a finger on her again, left her a few months later, and a year or so later she married a very nice man.
OTOH, about 20 years my best friend from high school married a nice lady with three young daughters. She had recently left an abusive husband. He adored her and treated her like a queen and her daughters like princesses. Five years later she left him because he was “boring.” A couple of years after that she married for the third time, to a guy who apparently beats her up regularly.
Wiki: “Pizzey distinguishes between “genuine battered women” and “violence-prone women;” the former defined as “the unwilling and innocent victim of his or her partner’s violence” and the latter defined as “the unwilling victim of his or her own violence.” This study reports that 62% of the sample population were more accurately described as “violence prone.”

This is course contradicted the feminists’ men-bad, women-helpless victims essential myth. She was drummed out of the movement, was harassed, family members threatened, her dog even killed. She had to flee the UK for North America.
Which kind of relationship the couple in question had I do not know. Nor do I approve of men beating up women under any circumstances, but I do know that the story is often a lot more murky than the feminist myths would lead you to believe.
She’s such a poor little innocent lamb.

“Janay Palmer allegedly spit in Rice’s face”
“Janay Palmer arrested and charged with domestic violence.”
“On May 23,2013 Palmer said sorry for “the role [she] played in the incident that night.”
“In August 2010, Palmer was arrested, accused of stealing a $1,000 dress from a mall in Baltimore. She was found guilty and given probation on top of a $400 fine. She said at the time.”
Nothing wrong with that he said.
Nothing....
It’s amazing how ESPN managed to get so many morons together in one place.
What do you say to a woman with two black eyes?
Nothing, you’ve already told her twice.
Nowadays, we have these "witch hunts" against anybody who says anything at all that might be controversial or considered "politically incorrect."
If I recall correctly, this nonsense started back in the 1980s when Howard Cosell made some innocent comment on Monday Night Football about a black football player breaking loose for a touchdown and all hell broke loose. Soon thereafter, you had others run out of the business for not being politically correct on TV (oddsmaker "Jimmy the Greek" comes to mind).
Are we a better society now than we were back then? I'm not so sure. Up until the mid 1980s, I saw race and sex relations improving and it seemed that racism was about to go away for good. Now I feel like I am on eggshells whenever I am around black people or women in the workplace because I don't want to inadvertently offend them and have my career ruined.
We are not as free as we used to be.
Ladies/women with a modicum of, certainly with a lot of, class know that a gentleman, especially a man with physical strength combined with strength of character, raised by a god woman of a mother, would never just not ever hit a woman, under any circumstances.
Those are the guys ‘who have luck’. Everyone else is a d
Ask any special ops guy
He was talking about how black women need their ass beat sometimes, or maybe just jacked up a little. What’s a black man to do? Show her the pimp hand that’s what!!
I was going to say...imagine if Skip Bayless had said it.
many women admit in surveys they goad men on when verbally arguing. they admit they also start physical fights by throwing the first punch or shove.
seen it posted here in thge past.
