Olympic swimming commentator fired after "saying outrageously sexist comment" wtf?

He said....

"Well, the women just finishing up. You know what women are like... hanging around, doing their make-up,"

The female commenter fired back saying,

"Outrageous! Some of the men do that too."

People on social media were furious and he got fired. Dude is a fukking cuck for not defending himself. Nothing will change unless the insanity is challenged.

I mean it's hard for me to even feel bad.

Look at today's workplace and culture climate

You have to be retarded to say something like that on an Olympic broadcast hosted by NBC. These mfers have trannies doing the last supper. Of course a remotely sexist joke would not be taken lightly on a platform this large.

The question is why do the Majority have to walk on eggshells for the few perverted deviants? who made the rules?

People on social media are never happy unless they're constantly creating drama about anything and everything...

And it's always 3 types of people. White middle aged Karen's, college morons with blue hair, or fat unemployed morons with blue/green/purple hair.

Agreed. People just need to reject it entirely and shift the culture and Overton window

I thought make-up was supposed to be empowering, right? Why is that an issue? What's the male equilivant to that comment?

Also have a hard time feeling sorry for him. You gotta be pretty low IQ to think that won't raise flags.

This proves that the patriarchy doesn't exist, because if it did then he would be rewarded instead.

Because the people at the top need the loyalty of the vulnerable (women, racial minorities, sexual minorities) to maintain a buffer against the majority. It's the classic divide and conquer, to prevent unity amongst the lay people against the elite. Whenever either group is getting restless toward leadership, distract them by pitting them against each other.

And silence them by labeling the opposition as Racist, misognyist, bigot etc, why dont the gentiles wake up?

Kinda reaching here a bit, a joke offensive to women in general isn't just some tiny perverted group of deviants. It's half of the audience.

At the very best the men find it funny, at the worst it's polarizing and offensive to women.

Just a stupid joke to make on the most viewed platform on planet earth at the moment where literally everything is being scrutinized.

It's not my job to know this, yet I still do. This dude should have known.

Funny that this is him going, "full retard". We, unfortunately, are at the point where implying women take longer to get ready for something as a joke is worse than having a bunch of trans reenact the last supper with their balls hanging out.

If you offend any woman, you deserve the death penalty.

He got off light

I haven't ever been able to find this clip, but one of the funniest things I have ever heard was a few Olympics ago. It was the end of a water polo game, maybe 10 seconds left and it was a final timeout. The team "X" with the ball was down by one.

The female announcer said "Team X really needs to get a score right now!", like she was offering some brilliant pearl of wisdom. Without missing a beat, the male announcer snarkly said "You don't say!". Dead silence. I was rolling and laughing so hard. Dumb biatch got called out for being Captain Obvious. I'm sure that dude was probably fired but it was a classic.
