Riley Gaines / Joe Rogan

[jlock7614]

Riley Gaines was on Joe Rogan yesterday and did a phenominal job. Very articulate and very smart. Say what you will about Mitch Barnhart but she makes it very clear how supportive and helpful he was during her time at UK. However, she doesn't speak too highly of the academic side of UK (shocker). Great listen.

 

[Mike-D]

Oh look, another example of the NCAA being an absolute ****in joke.

 

[Usmcincy]

UK also made her take “sensitivity” classes which is ****ing ridiculous lol

😂 Sounds about right.

 

[KAB Cats]

Never heard of her.

Edit: Oh God this is a trans sports thing. This will end well

 

[Bryguy]

Shenis! lollolololololololol

There will be a Title 9 1/2 pretty soon.

I've been listening to the full podcast on spotify. Just whacko insane level shit.

You're sending me to the Gulag's?

Please STFU on HOB. I'm not paying money for this debate.

I mean, I get your political views are important to you, but I fail to see how giving people shots of dopamine via faux outrage is helping to advance your agenda on the HoB.

So we have people who support this crap here? Men have no business in women’s sports.

Oh yes, we certainly do have some of those.

I think we mostly have people who don't believe this is the proper forum.

*raises hand*

While I quite frankly do not give a shit about this issue and tend to believe that the NCAA is being over-sensitive in their stance, I do not see a reason to turn this forum into a political bumpersticker.

Radical I know.

Go team.

 

[CaribCat]

I love her. Standing up for what’s absolutely 100% correct. Glad she’s a Kentucky girl Fighting for women’s rights.

 

[BristolCat]

Please take this crap to the paddock. I'm not paying to hear a bunch of random opinions on intentionally divisive issues. How hard is it to follow the rules of the message board?

Objectively, she is a a former UK athlete who has taken a rather public stand and gained a large following for it. People discuss other former athletes’ post UK lives and news stories that are current on here all the time

 

[SeanConnery]

Proud of her. This is real bravery. Speaking up for what's obvious and true in the face of evil.

 

[UK Cats Rock]

What an incredibly intelligent young lady. Go, Riley!

You ever been in a game day chat? The rules are broken every 6th post

Lol.

Hey moderator, can you move this thread to the appropriate board while you're virtue signaling? Thanks in advance!

 

[TruBluCatFan]

You know what else paying for HOB access gives you? The ability to not click on a thread and read it. And each time you comment it you just put it back on the top of the page to keep it going.

Don’t like it? Fine. Don’t read it. Easy peasy.

No. The board has rules, there's a place for politics specifically so we don't have to sift through this stuff to find sports discussion. No one's saying you can't virtue signal, but the rules say this particular board isn't the place for it.

Spot on friend.

 

[IDcatfan]

Hold on…

Didn’t we have someone compare Calipari to Donald Trump a few weeks back re: his “narcissism”? And if I recall correctly, that thread went multiple pages. And I “think” that several of the posters above, who are now complaining about this thread’s “politics”, were cheering on the OP and his views…🤷‍♂️ Sounds about right; shut the discourse down.

Riley Gaines doesn’t have to be a political football. She’s an incredibly successful former UK athlete who plays a large role in a national discussion on women’s rights. Just because some don’t like the particular views she espouses, I would vehemently disagree w/ those that state she doesn’t meet criteria to be discussed on HOB. Moreover, this goes both ways, as we’ve never had problems discussing other UK athletes/commentators etc. when they’re on the other end of the worldview paradigm, so long as they are relevant statewide or nationally.

Nope. I called that guy out too. It all belongs on the political board.

We get it, man. Go enjoy your Friday, if you are able to do things like that

Why don't you cry us a river lol. We have to see you and many others crap on this board pretty much every post.

 

[CatsFanGG24]

Could click on the thread...could avoid it.

Needing it moved is absurd - just avoid.

This was a UK athlete. Discussing things that happened while being a UK athlete.

 

[Col. Angus]

Every fif one if I’m online.

 

[TheySoSensitive]

If you let politics start to creep into the HOB it's a slippery slope. Some people pay specifically to NOT have to deal with that kinda stuff....and there *is* a specific place for it.

It's nice to just skip threads you don't want to read but alot of the time you don't what's inside just based on the title.

 

[IDcatfan]

Fair enough.

There has to be some nuance though (Matt Jones being a great example).

 

[KAB Cats]

Alright, Im gonna bite. Let's go full politics. All in. Head first.

To be honest, this broad would have more credibility if she stuck to her issue. That's how she'd win. However, I've now listened to half of the interview and then she turns into a run of the mill political pundit after about the first fourth. This detracts from her credibility, as it's easier to group her in with Tucker Carlson than someone with an authentic agenda.

Dont @ me.

 

[Col. Angus]

Dont @ me.

@KAB Cats don’t tell me what to do

Or…. Not do?
