Well you can't because it only goes up to 3 stars.

The white knighting you are doing in this thread is weird.

Mintz is big buddies with Sean Fox at 97.7 in Ruston. I sure as hell hope he doesn't give Mintz a job. He's fricking terrible on radio.

As I said in the MSB thread. Seems like to me it’s the perfect excuse to get rid of Mintzy.

They joked about him never actually doing any work which seemed true. Then he pre-records a morning show that’s supposed to be live. Faked an early AM hunting pic a few months ago. he just moved down here to work remote and I bet he wasn’t doing as much as they wanted him to.

Also I hear a lot of the gambling states are looking for any reason to boot barstool which Penn can't afford to let happen.

These threads make you forget that most of the OT resides in small town or suburban Louisiana/Texas

I'm not altogether sure this isn't another episode to create drama by design. Like is he really fired or just pretending hes fired? It's all exhausting if you ask me.

I don’t think they’d mess with him about that in fear that he’d harm himself lol

I’m tired of black people being able to use the word and white people can’t. Either everyone can say it or no one can say it.

Also, white people just need to stop listening to rap. 90% of the songs have that word in them.

I dont agree with him, but i recall one of those mcdonalds brawls and the black employees were calling the black customer a monkey. And one was holding her weave like a scalp trophy.

I guess the point is they call each other these bad things all the time.

Well the “N” word is a vulgar word to use on anyone. There is never a reason to use it , no matter
The situation.

I have a question about Barstool's hiring practices...is their only parameter for men to be a fat, overweight slob or a skinny-fat dweeb with no muscle definition?

frick all that. Shouldve fought back and asked why it’s an issue for him to sing a popular song that someone else wrote. If he had written the song itd be different

Just avoid ghetto culture and white wannabes and you'll not hear it.

You know, i was thinking about that word the other day. My kids (grade school) have no clue what that word is or means, and likely have never heard it. Which is great if the goal was to strike the word from existence. However, what keeps that word alive, is rappers and movies. THe entertainment industry, which is so quick to cancel someone for reading something they themselves wrote, are just about the only thing keeping that word alive.


I had this conversation the other day with a friend after some story about an Asian slur. We both had MAYBE heard it before in a movie or something. Because, well, they aren't literally singing the slur every day

The explicit version of “1st of Tha Month” by Bone Thugz-N-Harmony is still on Apple Music and I am sure on other services. If just reading the lyrics is this bad why are songs like this still available to be purchased or heard by white people???

At least he wasn’t an actual television news reporter having a real life Ron Burgundy moment when reporting names of pilots of Asiana Flight 214
