So he's magically not a perv if he waited 3 months until she turned 18? There's literally no difference in a 17 year old girl and an 18 year old girl other than the fact one can get into a bar and buy cigarettes if she wants to.

Ok. But talking about having a hard on for an underage female olympian in the wake of the Larry Nasser case shows and extreme lack of situational awareness and social context.

Gotta be tough to be a radio host these days. Networks want an edgy host, but the line is so vague.

You can start by not calling underage women "hot piece(s) of arse". We can argue all day about the thin line between 17 and 18, when a woman is emotionally mature, can consent, etc., but it's not hard to just understand that 17 is now and has been for a while considered in most states "underage" and it's best to not just not be a perv about underage women. It's pretty simple IMHO.

I got nervous for a second because I thought this was Patrick Connor the boxing writer/podcaster that I really like. Apparently this is a different dude.

I'm not going to sit here and call him a perv based on what he said. But I'll say that he's dumb and tone deaf for saying it.

I agree. I just think it's pretty stupid to imply a guy that thinks a 17 year old that's 2 months away from being 18 is a perv unless he waits 2 months to say she's hot

He's a perv for the rest of the shite he said but not because she's 17 and 10 months old instead of 18

Nah, this part is the creepy part. Counting down to the 18th birthday then doing the high school girls part is creepy on air.

Her 18th birthday is April 23, and the countdown is on baby, 'cause I got my Wooderson going," Connor said. "That’s what I like about them high school girls."

Times have changed. Radio folks used to talk about the Olsen Twins constantly before they were 18. I remember liquid generation had a song about them hitting 18.

Admittedly this is a sports show and not some morning shock jock.

I liked them briefly. Now, there are so many Barstool "reporters" it is insane. My entire social media feed is full of them. They have completely over-saturated themselves. Too much of anything isn't a good thing.

What the guy said was stupid and he is a moron but let's be real for a second.

She is a beautiful girl. There is nothing wrong saying that. She is beautiful at 17 and she will be beautiful at 18. She is not suddenly going to become beautiful at 18. Acknowledging that makes no one a perv.

What you can't do in this day and age is go on national radio and say an underage girl is a hot little piece of arse. That is just bone headed.

This is one of those paradoxical things where theres really nothing wrong with what he said, but you’d have to be a complete dumbass to say it and think nothings gonna happen.
