The woke mob is at it again with the cancel culture demands over some minor incident that wouldn’t have been perceived as at all offensive by even the left a few short years ago. This time they’re going out on a limb to demand NFL Hall of Famer and current NFL announcer Troy Aikman be fired, claiming that he needs to go because of “misogyny”.
What did he do? Well, he made an “insensitive” comment about men and dresses, one that pretty much every person who has ever played sports has heard some permutation of; he joked that the NFL should “take the dresses off.”
That came when Aikan was complaining about roughing the passer penalties and how they make the game and players seems soft, as Rob at Trending Politics reported, saying:
Here comes the woke mob again! This time they are after NFL Hall of Famer, and longtime announcer Troy Aikman for a comment he made on ESPN’s broadcast of Monday Night Football.
Everyone remembers Monday Night Football. The legendary primetime presentation of the NFL used to be an occasion preserved for the very best teams, as it was the biggest stage in all the game. Before the days of the league streaming games several days a week, if you made it to MNF, you truly made it. Even the legendary broadcasting team of Don Meredith, Frank Gifford, and Howard Cosell were the best in the business. Thankfully there was no social media, internet, or snowflakes then, or Howard, Frank, and Dandy Don would’ve been canceled before halftime.
It’s not that they, nor Troy Aikman said anything wrong, mind you. It’s more a product of people feeling the need to complain and be offended, or wannabe Twitter personalities looking to raise a stink to get attention and a few more followers.
The full comment from Aiken was…prepare to be horrified, libs:
“I hope that the competition committee looks at this during the set of meetings and we take the dresses off.”
That’s it. That’s all he said. Just a joke that NFL players and the competition committee need to man up a bit. It’s like the NFL is turning into soccer with all the penalties and he wants things to be otherwise, so he commented on it…and was crucified by the frenzied outrage mob.
Sportswriter Chuck Modi, for example, went berserk on the matter, saying:
“Troy Aikman really needs to find a non-misogynistic way to critique the call besides ‘take the dresses off’. And I say this as someone who heard this misogyny normalized by coaches as a kid & even participated myself. Way past time to end such sports talk.”
Joining him was fantasy football editor Chris Raybon. He said:
“Troy Aikman said f*** the 2022 social climate and told competition committee to “take off the dresses” live on air, re: roughing the passer calls.”
And, of course, Paola Boivin, a female journalist, freaked out too, saying:
“The competition committee ‘needs to take the dresses off’?? Aren’t we past using things associated with women as a pejorative? C’mon, Troy Aikman.”
Maybe all those complainers just need to take their dresses off and man up a bit…
