I find it funny people are complaining about political correctness as I listen to Dan minimize the pain/physical toll of childbirth, and then dump on the women's empowerment movement in a span of about five minutes.
And then Jake says "sup ho" to his super pregnant wife as they call her on air.
All super woke/progressive stuff, right?
To echo Bob Loblaws post above, confirmation bias is a real thing and people will hear what they want to hear and ignore/disregard everything else that doesn't fit their worldview.
The complaints have absolutely ZERO, and I mean NOTHING to do with Political Correctness. You've completely misread this whole thing. Political Incorrectness is why were all here. The station absolutely SHINED in these un-PC moments. Corby and Gordo on the wireless at the Super Bowl were perfect, and you won't find a person who listens to the station, casually or otherwise, who were offended by this.
This has to do with pure vitriol being spit to one side of the aisle and to the listeners. And dont' kid yourself, it was only to one side. Why would I listen to someone who openly hates me?
Sports is the escape from reality and the problems that exist in reality. Thats why people are so sick of politics getting into sport. The hosts knew this but couldn't help themselves and management didn't do anything to stop them.
I stopped listening about 4 years ago after being an absolutely HARDCORE P1 for all my life. I just showed up here to this thread to see what the opinion is of the Freak and how it was being discussed here.
Go back and read TV Casualty's first 4 paragraphs of his post on the previous page. He states it well and gives a good idea as to why the juggernaut of the Ticket can find themselves a little hot around the collar. If the Freak can follow a neutral formula and stick to what made the Ticket great in the beginning (see: neutrality), then this could be interesting.
