Paul Allen Controversy

I'm not a Paul Allen fan to begin with, just from a pure sports broadcaster perspective. I'm fine with him being a homer, that's kind of pare for the course for every NFL radio team. I'm good with the passion. I just don't think he's very good at what he does. He's consistently late calling the action live. And he's corny.

This particular thing? Its his opinion....but he should have kept his mouth shut. But these are the times in which we live in.

I'm over Allen and would love to have someone new and fresh. But these guys can hang on for decades too.

Many individuals in the spotlight screwed themselves over by opening up about political topics. Hank Williams Jr. comes to mind...he lost his Monday Night Football music gig over political comments. The landscape is littered with them.

Sports are an opiate for the masses, a good diversion and can unite people from all walks of life...

It's always too bad when politics brings its awful stench to the sports world.

I think I'm at the point where I believe there's so much misinformation out there, that I think everyone is just wrong about so many things that I don't have much patience for people that put themselves on a pedestal where they think they are right and try to villify the other tribe. At some point we need to escape the trap of dividing ourselves into two different groups that fight with each other, and accept that we're all going to be wrong and say dumb shit from time to time, but how do we recenter on the things we agree about and try to work together and make society better.

Totally agree that media personalities shouldn't be expressing political opinions as it just kills their brand.

I'm sure the woke Wilf clan will frown upon this. Apology incoming...

He may have to go the way of the Wobbie… :cool: :angel:

By woke you mean awake, conscious thinking, respectful and having a positive regard for everyone, as opposed to being a racist, judgemental and hateful.  Funny how some want to try to make being awake, alive and loving a negative thing.

You are describing the left. Get the fuck out with that brainwashed bull shit.

He should mock them. They applauded the Deporter and Chief. It's TDS and you guys can't and never will see past it. Damn clowns.

Too funny.  Did you really describe the woke left as respectful and a having a positive regard for everyone...while simultaneously calling the other half of the Country racist and hateful?  Good stuff.  The Parishoners at that church in Minneapolis learned about the woke's respectful and positive regard for everyone.  I'm guessing female athletes that train their whole lives only to be forced to compete with biological men might disagree with your conscious thinking, respectful and positive attitudes. F@ck Title 9 and all that it did to give women a platform.

You can't arbitrarily call out half the Country while stating your "positive regard for EVERYONE".  What you really mean is that you have a positive regard for everyone that agrees with you.  For the woke left, that means total assimilation.  You can't agree with them 90% of the time..it must be total assimilation...otherwise the cancel culture warriors come after you. Don't believe me? Just take a look at the hellscape that Bluesky has become. Watch Left eat Left for having an independent thought.

Allen was just trying to be funny.  Are there paid agitators in Minneapolis?  Absolutely.  The Crowds on Demand CEO acknowledged that directly when discussing why he hasn't staffed protesters due to the possibility of violence..  

The clans on the left and right are tearing this Country apart with nonsense like this.

Does your woke crowd have respect for people who abide by the law and try to enforce legally passed legislation that has been enforced aggressively by your heroes like Obama who created the cages that your side so often references.  I would characterize woke as extremely racist, hugely judgmental and more hateful than any mob we've seen in years.  lol  So, other than that your post was incredibly informative.  lol
