Honestly, I haven’t even watched the video yet so maybe I shouldn’t comment on it.

There are pluses and minuses to each attitude. USC’s players are cocky and have swagger (like their coach) and they have the natural abilities to back it up. But they’re also undisciplined and don’t play like a team like PSU does. PSU might not have as much natural ability as USC, but the teamwork and disciplined style of play makes up for it.

Just think what the old man could do with the talent level at USC. There wouldn’t be any annual losses to a major underdog, that’s for damn sure.

…was evident against Penn State, they shut down when they get a lead and sometimes they just don’t show up at all.

Against us they got way ahead, started dancing and forgot Penn State was still playing football. Penn State was down 14 with 4:00 left and had the ball inside USC’s 40. As bad as the Rose Bowl was, we had a chance at the end. Not a high percentage chance, but I looked at my friend and said “Shit, we’re still in this thing”. We were one or two plays away from making that a game.

That’s their problem.

Or something else.

Or the kid could just be an asshole.

boring…

I have been through about 1000 of them (not because I got in trouble, mind you) and the only thing that made some of them entertaining were some of the videos. The military videos that showed an airman getting ‘harassed’ by some high ranking officer cougar and him looking all uncomfortable and later reporting it were hilarious. Yeah… like that ever happens… lol

terry tate videos at work for training. really. they do.

I won’t ask about if she was your mom, but it also works. That should not qualify as ‘all he did,’ a phrase that minimizes the act.

Look, you could make the case that I’m the biggest hypocrite in the world (I’d debate it forcefully), for some of the behaviors I endorse, but disrespecting women is on my short list of indefensible behaviors. The defining distinction here is context. Two things make this bad:

1. She is at work.
2. It was publicly demeaning

One makes it harassment and the lawyers in the house can chime in as to his chances of beating it were she to actually file. Number two is a little more malleable as to interpretations of demeaning. Perhaps you could raise the possibility, as jesse preposterously noted, that EA could be in on it. Even in that ridiculous context, is it not demeaning to other women to even see it? Some of the families in here have young daughters. How would you explain to your 5-10yo daughter what was going on there? How would you feel if you were a woman (and a prior victim of sexual harassment or worse—or never even a victim at all), and you saw this at the stadium or this video on the internets? Or how would you feel if you read in BSD multiple comments that downplay the act with any number of disclaimers as to why it was ok?

In many other contexts it could be even more grey, enough that I’d let my normal antithesis for Propriety keep me from speaking out, but this one’s easy to stand against.

And too dangerous to our mothers, daughters, wives and girlfriends to let slide.
