But was Tristan wholly out of bounds? No doubt about that. There is already the whole female reporter/male athlete dynamic that goes on in sports journalism.

Just because she didn't look uncomfortable doesn't mean she wasn't. She's a professional and she'll do her job.

If I were the cavs, I'd suspend him for the rest of the preseason and make him do sensitivity training. It's better to do damage control now before it gets out kf hand


Not sure if you're fricking with us, but in general, people with this type of Outlook would do the world a huge favor if they went ahead and killed themselves.

No I tbjnk the outlook that tends to prevail on this board can be sexist at times.

If it doesn't effect the demographics of this board, then it doesn't matter. that outlook on life is a lot more dangerous than mine, one that actually values people and their sentiments and beliefs.

But I'm glad that train of thought is becoming extinct. call it PC, but iTs much better than what we had before.

That is just stupid, the guy was being playful and did nothing wrong. If the reporter was my mom, sister or SO I would still feel the same way.

not true in this case

it doesn't affect anyone b/c what he did was no big deal. the only people "affected" are those who choose to invent shite via victim complexes

this board would have the same reaction if a girl kissed a guy on the cheek and people called her sexist. it has nothing to do with demos

if a stupid kiss on the cheek in a stupid entertainment/media based bullshite interview creates invented emotional reaction? nope.

Your opinion on this matter is stupidly over the top. I wouldn't hate it if it was reserved for real problems. The dude barely made contact to her hair and had an obvious goofball look on his face. It was a joke, and people who proliferate the notion that things like this are a problem are the real problem. You are a problem.

I'm just glad he's black so you didn't take advantage of that tired schtick that every white person is racist.

the author is basically calling it sexual assault, which just dismisses the real impact of real victims of sexual assault
