The Matt Walsh Show - Ep 177 - Why Don’t We Ever Hear About “Toxic Femininity”？

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, we hear so much about toxic masculinity, but what about toxic femininity?

00:00:06.740 Why don't we ever hear that phrase used?

00:00:08.580 Also, we're told that the NFL has a scandal on its hands because it doesn't have enough minority head coaches at the moment.

00:00:15.060 And I want to discuss why it's insane to introduce racial quotas into sports, of all things.

00:00:21.500 We'll discuss that today on the Matt Walsh Show.

00:00:23.400 So I got to tell you something, something really strange happened.

00:00:32.260 You see, today I was I was walking down the street and I happened to cross some kids bullying another kid.

00:00:39.720 And so naturally I stopped and I started cheering and and I was going, yeah, bully that kid.

00:00:47.480 Bullying is awesome. Go bullying. Go bullying. Boys will be boys.

00:00:52.160 And then some other men also joined me and we were all just go. 0.93

00:00:56.220 We were all going, look at this bully. This is some great bullying.

00:00:59.440 I've seen some good bullying in my day. This is maybe the best bullying I've ever seen.

00:01:03.460 We were all having that conversation. But but just then, just then someone came up and they showed me that Gillette ad.

00:01:11.000 And I realized that that actually bullying is wrong.

00:01:14.900 And my whole life has been changed from the moment. In fact, I had I had it on my schedule to to go after cheering on the bullying.

00:01:23.280 I had it written down on my schedule. I was going to go stand on a street corner and yell cat calls at women. 1.00

00:01:27.780 But I swear, after seeing this video, I went and I crossed cat calls off my schedule, just crossed it right off.

00:01:35.320 And then I penciled in ask women permission to compliment them.

00:01:40.400 And so that's what I did. And nobody gave me permission to compliment them.

00:01:44.160 So now I have all these compliments stored up and I've got and I've got so that I just went to a tree and I started complimenting the tree because I just I had to compliment someone.

00:01:51.420 And this is this is what it means to be a real man. OK.

00:01:57.860 Anyway, but seriously, folks, seriously, I did want to kind of follow up on that on the conversation about the Gillette ad.

00:02:07.180 You know, we talked about yesterday. I'm not going to I'm not going to rehash all my points.

00:02:11.700 I wanted to really revisit one specific point and expand on something that I mentioned yesterday, which is.

00:02:18.980 As we're talking about toxic masculinity.

00:02:26.280 What about toxic femininity? OK, we hear so much about toxic masculinity. 0.51

00:02:32.820 Well, we don't hear about toxic femininity. And why is that? 0.95

00:02:36.620 Now, as I said, that's not a phrase that I would really ever use because femininity, I know, is not toxic. 0.79

00:02:45.020 In fact, what is what is often toxic is when women reject their femininity, reject their womanhood, just as the toxic thing is when men reject their masculinity and reject their manhood.

00:02:59.260 So femininity can no more be toxic than can masculinity be toxic.

00:03:04.820 But in the interest of fairness, in the interest of equality, it seems to me that toxic femininity should be a term in usage.

00:03:15.540 It should be a term, in fact, that feminists insist upon because they want everything to be equal. 1.00

00:03:22.040 And toxic masculinity is a term.

00:03:24.100 Now, I made this point yesterday and some people said, well, no, see, that doesn't make sense.

00:03:32.580 We can't talk about toxic femininity because women don't do all of the kinds of harmful things that men do. 1.00

00:03:40.640 And and so women don't have I even heard I heard many times, in fact, worse, the effect of women don't have the capacity really to to to hurt people and and to harm society and others the way that men do. 0.99

00:03:57.420 Is that really the case, though?

00:04:00.360 Well, let's think about this for a moment, shall we?

00:04:03.120 According to Gillette and to feminists, generally, toxic masculinity is when men are bullies, when they harass assault, when they are pushy and presumptuous, not allowing women to speak. 0.96

00:04:21.040 And then, of course, when they rape or when they condone rape. 0.81

00:04:24.580 Now, I admit that as far as rape goes, that is more common, certainly more common among men than it is among women.

00:04:36.280 Men are certainly more often the culprits in rape cases, though women do commit sexual assaults.

00:04:44.920 And it's not it's not like they they they never do it or it's so statistically rare that it hardly even counts.

00:04:51.280 That's not the case at all, especially these days.

00:04:54.240 All you have to do is look at public schools, public school teachers, often females, are assaulting their students all the time. 1.00

00:05:01.360 Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of cases in recent years of of school children being sexually assaulted by their teachers.

00:05:08.960 And very often.

00:05:11.040 Those teachers are female.

00:05:12.360 So this sort of thing does happen.

00:05:15.280 But still, most cases are men.

00:05:17.360 Fine, that's true.

00:05:19.400 But women have other ways. 1.00

00:05:22.540 Of causing damage.

00:05:24.900 OK, women have other ways of of of hurting people, especially when we're talking about bullying. 1.00

00:05:32.020 And that was probably the most absurd thing about the Gillette ad.

00:05:36.200 And it's just the most absurd thing in general when we're talking about bullying and toxic masculinity and all we're lumping all these things together. 0.56

00:05:43.060 This this this this this kind of like painting of bullying as a uniquely male caused problem, which is absolutely ludicrous.

00:05:56.360 Girls and women bully people all the time and often female bullying takes a much more insidious, much more harmful form.

00:06:07.560 And just look at how girls in school treat other girls. 1.00

00:06:13.520 Listen, when you hear about these these terrible cases of girls killing themselves.

00:06:19.940 Because of bullying and you hear about these cases all the time, it's a terrible thing.

00:06:23.540 But it's not usually boys who were doing the bullying in those cases.

00:06:29.780 It was girls. 1.00

00:06:30.980 And when you hear about girls who have eating disorders or who, you know, engage in self mutilation or other kinds of self harm.

00:06:42.260 Again, when you look at the treatment that they are suffering in school and what leads to these issues.

00:06:50.720 It is almost always a girl on girl problem.

00:06:57.300 Now, you know, boys can be bullies, too.

00:06:59.960 But usually when a boy is going to bully you, especially if he's bullying another boy, he'll insult you.

00:07:05.900 He'll call you names, usually to your face.

00:07:09.280 Or he might say it behind your back, too, but he'll also say it to your face. 0.94

00:07:12.820 Um, and, uh, and he might push you, shove you, punch you, right?

00:07:17.140 I mean, this is the kind of thing we're talking about.

00:07:19.240 It's pretty straightforward is the point.

00:07:22.880 But what girls will do to each other is is much deeper. 1.00

00:07:28.340 Um, much more damaging than that, I would say.

00:07:33.500 Much more calculated.

00:07:36.380 They'll gossip.

00:07:38.120 They'll spread rumors.

00:07:39.340 I mean, they're really going to seek to destroy the life of their victim.

00:07:45.180 Just talk to some women sometime who went through this in, in, uh, in school. 1.00

00:07:51.740 There are plenty of women who their school careers were ruined because of other girls and what other girls said about them, the rumors and lies and all that kind of stuff. 1.00

00:08:01.460 Um, a punch in the face hurts for a few minutes, but a destroyed reputation can ruin your life.

00:08:10.740 Now, it's just, it seems odd to me that somehow we miss this, right?

00:08:14.780 Somehow, when we're talking about the challenges that women and girls face, we never point out that women and girls are the primary bullies and tormentors of women and girls.

00:08:26.940 Somehow, we just leave that out of the discussion.

00:08:32.060 And by the way, women can bully men also. 1.00

00:08:36.460 And girls can bully boys. 0.96

00:08:38.360 That does happen.

00:08:39.460 Not physically, uh, most of the time, but, um, but it does happen in other ways, emotional and psychological ways.

00:08:46.940 A girl who is higher on the social ladder than a boy definitely has the ability to ridicule, mock, embarrass him, hurt him in many ways. 0.99

00:08:57.180 There are plenty of boys who dread going to school, in part at least because of how they're treated by girls in the school. 0.64

00:09:06.100 And, um, it's harder for them too, in a way, because they can't really complain about it, because nobody will take the complaint seriously.

00:09:13.900 And they can't really do anything about it.

00:09:17.240 You know, when you're a boy and you're being treated, um, viciously by a bunch of girls in school or something, you know, there's not a lot you can really do.

00:09:27.540 If you start shouting at them and screaming at them, then, uh, you're going to look like the insane person.

00:09:33.280 You're going to seem like the bad guy, right? 0.99

00:09:35.880 Um, and you know, if it was, if you're a boy and there's another boy in the school treating you that way, then for some boys, the way you might handle it is go up and punch him in the face. 0.99

00:09:45.380 Right. But, um, you're not going to do that with a girl.

00:09:48.760 So you just, most of the time, endure it.

00:09:52.340 And, and this stuff happens.

00:09:54.320 I mean, it happens all the time.

00:09:55.500 We don't talk about it for some reason, but it does happen.

00:09:57.860 Let's take something else into consideration.

00:10:01.980 Um, men do have certain advantages over women, um, certain things that they can use to harm women. 0.69

00:10:08.840 And bad men will use those things.

00:10:11.340 And the main thing we're talking about here is physical strength.

00:10:14.400 Now, this is brought up all the time.

00:10:15.940 We're talking about toxic, toxic masculinity and so on and so forth.

00:10:18.740 Well, men have this physical brute strength, which they can lord over women and use against them. 1.00

00:10:24.440 And that's true.

00:10:24.980 It does happen.

00:10:25.520 It's terrible.

00:10:27.300 But women have their own advantages. 1.00

00:10:29.020 Um, mainly they have their sexuality and they have their appearance and they have the desires of men.

00:10:37.260 Which they can manipulate and coerce and they can use to sometimes destroy people.

00:10:43.420 And this happens all the time.

00:10:45.520 Um, that was one of the things that was kind of lost in the, in the whole me too hysteria, because in some of the case, in plenty, you know, in some of the cases we heard about, it was, it was pretty straightforward. 0.98

00:10:56.060 Guy was being, um, the guy was being a pig, being a jerk, being a predator, victimizing women, you know, um, or victimizing young boys in the case of, uh, Kevin Spacey. 0.93

00:11:07.300 So there were, there were some cases like that, but there were also plenty of cases, um, where you looked at it and it was pretty apparent that the women were also culpable in that they were using their sexuality to obtain career advancements. 0.99

00:11:20.840 Not just that either, but if a man approaches a woman, tries to talk to her, tries to initiate something and he does it respectfully. 0.98

00:11:30.320 Well, the woman, if she's a jerk, if she's a pig, if she's a bad person, she has the ability in that moment, now that the man has made himself vulnerable to her, um, he has the ability to, she has the ability to completely embarrass and humiliate him. 1.00

00:11:46.400 And there are some women who will do that, that they will take that vulnerability and they'll just crush you with it. 1.00

00:11:52.600 Right.

00:11:53.720 And this is the kind of thing that single men have to deal with.

00:11:56.040 Um, which is one of the many reasons why I'm, I'm very happy that I'm not single, but there's something single men, this is one of the things single men worry about.

00:12:04.740 You know, they worry about if you're, if you're, you know, if they sit back and they never initiate, they never go try to talk to a woman.

00:12:10.440 Well, then they're just going to be single for the rest of their lives and they're going to die alone.

00:12:12.940 So they know that because even with all of the changes in society and everything, it's still expected that the man is going to initiate and women expect it. 0.58

00:12:20.500 Even if they complain when some guy they don't like initiates, they still expect the initiation to happen on the part of men.

00:12:27.380 Men know that, but they also know that if they try to initiate, they try to strike up a conversation, they try to get something going, uh, again, respectfully, you know, consensually.

00:12:36.160 They know that they, they just made themselves vulnerable. And if the woman wants to, if she's a bad person, she could destroy you or maybe not destroy you permanently, but she could crush you in that moment and embarrass you. 1.00

00:12:47.820 Um, or as, as, as we've seen other cases, she could actually destroy you if she decides to make up a lie, make up a rape claim. 1.00

00:12:57.660 Things, these things also happen. The point here is that all of these issues, um, bullying, harassing, abusing, all these, all these issues, they are much bigger, much more complex than how they're painted.

00:13:12.020 And when we are determined to make men, the bad guys and women, the good guys, and to, and to kind of position the issue in that black and white way.

00:13:25.060 And then when we never talk about the reverse scenarios where the woman's the bad guy, then a lot of victims, including female victims are ignored because their bully, their harasser, their predator, their abuser was a female.

00:13:44.120 And that doesn't count apparently because nobody wants to talk about that.

00:13:50.400 Nobody wants to talk about the times when women act terribly. 1.00

00:13:55.060 Just look, talk to a, talk to a teacher sometime, talk to like a middle school teacher, a high school teacher.

00:14:03.920 And they'll tell you about, they'll tell you about the just evil behavior on a part of some, not all of course, but some girls just, just evil to each other in a way that far surpasses what, what guys will do. 1.00

00:14:18.400 This is not, um, I know anytime, you know, you, you, you, you try to bring this up, someone's going to say, well, that's what about ism.

00:14:28.560 That's what about ism.

00:14:29.780 You know, no, you can't do what about we're talking about men right now.

00:14:34.160 So for you to try to bring in, bring up women, that's, you're deflecting, you're obfuscating, you're trying to avoid. 0.97

00:14:41.320 Well, the, the what about ism claim, the what about ism accusation is about the laziest way to handle an argument these days.

00:14:50.160 Because here, here's the problem.

00:14:51.420 Um, it's really easy to say, well, you know, no, no, no, we're not talking about women.

00:14:55.780 We're talking about men right now.

00:14:56.840 Okay.

00:14:57.120 So you can't change the subject.

00:14:58.820 Yeah.

00:14:59.240 But we're always talking about men.

00:15:00.860 That's the point.

00:15:01.980 We only ever talk about the things that the, the, the, the, the bad things that men do.

00:15:06.740 There is never a time when everyone's going to agree to, okay, you know what?

00:15:11.160 Let's, let's talk about, let's move the conversation forward.

00:15:13.880 Let's focus on women for a minute. 1.00

00:15:15.300 That will never happen.

00:15:16.580 It never does happen.

00:15:17.460 Um, the conversation, when it comes to bullying, harassing, abusing, um, all of that, it is

00:15:23.120 always 100% of the time about men.

00:15:27.080 So if we're ever going to bring women into this conversation too, and look at the whole 1.00

00:15:31.880 picture and look at every facet of the problem, then somebody is going to have to go, well,

00:15:37.400 what about?

00:15:38.780 And so, yes, I am doing a, what about because you know what?

00:15:42.180 I think we've covered men at this point.

00:15:43.980 Like we get it.

00:15:45.120 We've covered it.

00:15:45.840 We know, we understand.

00:15:47.460 It's been established.

00:15:49.920 We, it's, it totally is a hundred percent established.

00:15:52.400 Everybody knows now there are bad, terrible men out there who do bad, terrible.

00:15:56.540 We get it.

00:15:57.180 We know.

00:15:57.660 Yes.

00:15:57.980 Thank you.

00:15:58.600 Okay.

00:15:59.040 Can we talk about this over here now?

00:16:03.360 Um, all right.

00:16:05.740 Want to, um, want to mention another thing.

00:16:09.220 Uh, I wanted to talk about this because it's a great example of, of how identity politics

00:16:13.820 leads to insanity.

00:16:15.140 Um, so there's been a lot of belly aching recently because in the NFL, there have been

00:16:23.280 several head coaching vacancies over this during the off season, which has only been

00:16:27.880 for a few weeks.

00:16:28.540 Um, and, um, those opportunities so far has been, I don't know, I think it's been seven

00:16:33.360 or eight, seven or eight head coaching vacancies so far in the last few weeks.

00:16:38.060 And in all, but one of the cases, I believe the, um, opportunities have gone to white coaches. 0.53

00:16:47.380 And this is a source of constant outrage.

00:16:49.800 Um, the perceived lack of black head coaches.

00:16:53.960 And it's one of the reasons why, or the reason why the NFL came up with the Rooney rule and

00:16:59.820 the Rooney rule requires that teams have to interview black candidates for coaching jobs,

00:17:04.760 no matter what, even if a team knows who it wants for its coach, which is the case plenty

00:17:10.660 of times, you know, um, where they've already made their decision.

00:17:14.120 There's someone out there who they know they want because he fits with the scheme.

00:17:17.040 He fits with what the team is doing and the program and everything else.

00:17:21.020 Um, but even in those cases says the Rooney rule, you got to bring in a black coach and 0.77

00:17:27.620 interview him anyway, just for show, even though there's no chance he's going to get the 0.60

00:17:31.420 job, which of course is insulting to the black coach. 1.00

00:17:35.020 And it's just generally stupid and demeaning and pointless. 1.00

00:17:38.960 Um, and that's when you try to institute identity politics and make it into a policy, 1.00

00:17:47.960 you're always going to end up with generally stupid and demeaning and pointless and insulting 1.00

00:17:53.320 things. 0.99

00:17:54.840 But, um, now that a bunch of teams have had the audacity in the last few weeks to hire the

00:18:00.660 person that they think is best for the job, rather than the person who fills a certain

00:18:03.980 racial quota, um, the left is, is really upset.

00:18:07.640 And now they're saying that the Rooney rule isn't enough.

00:18:10.600 And now there need to be more procedures put in place to make sure that a certain arbitrary

00:18:15.620 percentage of head coaching vacancies go to black men or, or not just black. 0.66

00:18:21.060 I mean, I'm sure they'd love it if a black woman or any sort of woman were ever to become 0.99

00:18:24.520 an NFL head coach. 0.93

00:18:25.460 Um, let me read it just as an example of this outrage. 0.83

00:18:29.700 Let me read an article from, um, Yahoo sports written by a guy by the name of Therese

00:18:37.700 Paylor.

00:18:39.220 Read a little bit of it.

00:18:40.260 It says, um, Eric B enemy stood and smiled in front of the Kansas city chiefs press corps

00:18:45.860 last Wednesday.

00:18:46.520 He spoke deliberately and passionately with pauses in between as if you were a well-spoken professor

00:18:51.380 or a preacher days earlier, no fewer than five NFL teams expressed interest in interviewing

00:18:56.120 the chiefs offensive coordinator for a head coaching job.

00:18:58.640 He took many of those interviews and given his upbeat weekly news conference, it seemed

00:19:02.640 like he landed one of the three remaining jobs on the market.

00:19:05.460 Alas, one day later, the New York jets hired former Miami head coach, Adam Gase to be their

00:19:10.480 new leader.

00:19:11.140 And one day after that news trickled out that the Cincinnati bangles were leaning toward hiring

00:19:15.000 Los Angeles Rams quarterback coach Zach Taylor, uh, while the Miami dolphins were hiring someone

00:19:19.820 else, assuming the Taylor and Flores hires will become official when their team seasons end,

00:19:24.700 it will bring an end to another head coaching cycle that was surprisingly rough for BN B enemy

00:19:30.560 and other top my own minority coaches, um, of the eight new head coaches hired by NFL teams over the past

00:19:37.120 two weeks, only Flores, a Brooklyn born son of Honduran immigrants is a man of color, um, Flores.

00:19:45.320 And then under the header, it says a statistical step back.

00:19:49.120 And it says Flores will join Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Ron Rivera, uh, Rivera of

00:19:54.900 the Carolina Panthers and Anthony Lynn of the Los Angeles charges as the only minority head

00:19:59.340 coaches in the league to start the 2019 season.

00:20:02.160 That's half the high watermark of eight that was in place at the start of the 2018 season.

00:20:07.000 On the surface, this is a step back one that isn't a great look for the NFL and commissioner Roger

00:20:13.560 Goodell who has made it a goal to increase front office and coaching staff diversity in a league

00:20:18.620 of players that is approximately 70% black. Um, and then it goes on with, uh, uh, so on and so forth.

00:20:26.720 Um, this is just, this is just so cynical and, and, uh,

00:20:37.000 insane and racist, honestly, a statistical step back. What does that even mean?

00:20:48.880 Uh, a statistical way based on based on what, like what, what is the statistic we're aiming for

00:20:55.740 and who decided that statistic? It's completely arbitrary as it always is with these affirmative

00:21:02.360 action type things. It's just totally arbitrary. We just decided that, you know what? Um, there

00:21:07.060 should be a certain amount of people with, um, this ethnic background in this job.

00:21:14.560 Why? Because, uh, just because, and if that means that there are perfectly qualified people who don't

00:21:20.880 get a job, well then fine, because the statistics are what we must all bow before the statistics.

00:21:26.700 I mean, think about it. You've got, um, you know, six or seven white guys that were hired to coach

00:21:34.660 team, very qualified. Some of these guys, you know, they're hired for a reason, very good at what

00:21:39.240 they do. And so that's why they were hired. And then, so now this, uh, Perez, uh, or Therese

00:21:46.440 Paylor, he, he comes along and says, well, that's a statistical step back. How would you like it if,

00:21:51.380 you know, you, you, you get a job that you've earned and you've been working towards,

00:21:55.020 and then someone comes along and calls it a statistical step back. And when you complain

00:22:00.420 that there should be more black head coaches, what you're saying is that there's a white head

00:22:06.080 coach or maybe a few of them in the league right now who shouldn't have a job. That's what you're

00:22:10.780 saying. And so which one is that point them out for me, which of the head coaches, I would challenge

00:22:19.380 the person who wrote this article, whoever else supports this Rooney rule stuff, which of the white

00:22:24.280 head coaches, would you fire just so that you could replace them with someone with darker skin?

00:22:30.120 And are you going to go explain that to his family, by the way, like go, go sit down with his wife and

00:22:34.840 his kids and say, Hey, listen, um, he's been working for this. Uh, he, he, he fits the job. He's doing a

00:22:40.220 good job, but he's going to have to go. Um, because we've got statistics that we need to take into

00:22:46.320 consideration here, but the thing, and this is, this is why this really jumps out at me. Um,

00:22:51.860 and the writer of this article, he, he, he even points this out and it's, but this is, he points

00:22:58.580 it out as if it underlines his own point, but really it undermines his point. And that is that

00:23:05.900 there are a great many, um, minorities in the NFL, a great many minorities who are paid very,

00:23:14.460 very well to do their job. Um, and if we're looking at statistics and you were to compare,

00:23:21.340 um, you know, percentage wise, how many black people are in America percentage wise versus how

00:23:28.640 they're represented in the NFL, you would say statistically they're way, way, way over represented

00:23:34.060 in the NFL. I mean, if we're doing this random arbitrary thing with head coaches, where we're

00:23:41.740 looking at the racial disparity and we're saying, Oh, there's too many white people. Well, why can, 0.98

00:23:46.520 why don't we do the reverse with cornerbacks? Why don't we do the reverse with running backs

00:23:50.500 or, uh, or, or linebackers, um, or, or wide receivers or free safeties. In all of those cases,

00:24:01.320 you're going to find that almost all of them are black people who again are in very visible positions 0.56

00:24:08.540 being paid very well, very handsomely for doing their job.

00:24:15.060 And why are they in those positions? Why are they being paid so well? Because they're extremely good

00:24:20.520 at what they do. So I'm not going to complain. No, I wouldn't, I wouldn't say, Oh no, they're the other,

00:24:27.200 we need, we need to get some more white people into wide receiver positions. I could, I mean,

00:24:32.280 there are a few white wide receivers in a league, only a few, um, including one very good one,

00:24:37.580 but I'm not going to say that. Oh no, we need to get more because why right now, if you're a wide 0.96

00:24:44.460 receiver, if you're, if you're on a team, if you're, if you, if you're start, if you're on a roster as a

00:24:48.460 wide receiver in the NFL, it's because you're just really good. It's because you're one of the best

00:24:53.900 at doing that, um, in the entire world. You're one of the best athletes in the world. And that's

00:25:00.860 how you got on that roster. And it does not matter what your race is. And if we look and we say, well,

00:25:07.760 you know, it looks like 95% of wide receivers are, are black. Well, it's just because they happen to 1.00

00:25:12.900 be the ones that are the best. That's why they have the job. Good for them. Great. Nothing to be upset

00:25:20.100 about, but it just seemed, it seems so especially absurd to start playing this identity politics game

00:25:30.200 with the NFL of all, or, or the NBA of all things, because those are examples of, um, extremely talented,

00:25:42.000 gifted, often minority people who are doing a job and getting paid a lot of money, a lot more money

00:25:48.760 than, than you or I get paid. And yet we're still finding a reason to complain because we say, oh

00:25:53.520 yeah, well, they're, they're really represented there in that position and in that position, that

00:25:57.660 position, that position, that position, that position, that position. Oh wait, but there's a

00:26:01.000 position where they're not as well represented. So let's focus on that. Why? Who cares? Why does it

00:26:08.460 matter? Now, listen, if you could find an example, um, in, in modern times of a,

00:26:18.760 black coaching candidate who was deprived of a job because of his skin color, then, uh, then I would 1.00

00:26:26.680 agree. Well, that's a problem. I mean, that's racist. If you could find an example, if you could 0.67

00:26:31.420 present anything like evidence to support the idea that, um, for instance, the, the coaching candidate

00:26:38.920 that was mentioned at the beginning of this article was denied those positions because the NFL owners

00:26:44.120 were racist and didn't want a black guy taking up those positions. Well, then you've got a case on, 0.58

00:26:49.420 you know, then you've got a, then you can make a case, but that's not what's happening.

00:26:57.360 And in fact, what you're doing is you're demanding exactly that sort of thing, but in the reverse,

00:27:03.360 um, you're demanding that there be white people who are deprived of the position because of the color

00:27:11.360 of their skin, which is obviously clearly racist. And the thing that just annoys me,

00:27:22.420 it annoys me in general with this kind of stuff. It annoys me even more when it, when you,

00:27:28.840 when you start injecting it into sports, because one of the great things about, but the reason why

00:27:34.120 I like sports, the reason why even, you know, increasingly, I really enjoy just sitting down

00:27:38.560 and watching a game of some kind is because, um, usually that's where all this identity politics

00:27:45.980 and all that stuff, you know, usually, hopefully until recently, anyway, you, all that stuff goes to

00:27:53.800 the side because on the field or on the court, it's really just about whoever's best wins.

00:28:03.180 It's just like mano y mano, uh, team versus team. And if you're the best at doing it, then you win.

00:28:08.760 And that's it. There are no other considerations taken into account. And that's, what's great about it

00:28:15.800 in a world where we're con in a culture where we're constantly measuring and judging and politicizing

00:28:22.420 and, you know, quantifying things and coming up with quotas and everything. It's great to be able

00:28:27.860 to just sit down and watch like a football game. And you know that, look, if this team has better

00:28:33.320 athletes and they've got a better game plan, they're going to win. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter

00:28:36.560 what the racial makeup is. None of that matters. They're going to win. But, um, the left says, no,

00:28:42.700 they cannot allow, they cannot allow there to be any kind of oasis in our culture where their

00:28:50.840 social engineering and their political agenda does not infect. They can't allow it. And so now

00:28:59.540 they're going to focus on sports still. And that is a crying, crying shame. We will leave it there.

00:29:07.620 Thanks for, uh, watching and listening. Godspeed.

00:29:18.120 I'm Michael Knowles, host of the Michael Knowles show, misgendering white privilege and transphobia

00:29:22.660 to quote AOC. Today we run train on the progressive agenda. Then what should be done about Steve King?

00:29:28.300 We will analyze Democrat hypocrisy and the left is furious that Karen Pence is teaching at a Christian 0.98

00:29:33.420 school. Bum, bum, bum. Check it out at dailywire.com. 1.00
