Why aren't tennis players removed from their jobs after they commit an error?

Their job is to hit balls correctly, once they fail, they should be removed, no?

It's not really an error, she does have a big forehead. It's not a
negative, she can say it's because she has a big brain and some people
like big foreheads, gives them a bigger target for facials.

This is the great thing about usenet, you can still say anything you
like and crack inappropriate jokes. Whatever happened to 'sticks and
stones' etc?

This is why Trump won and is so popular with ordinary people. The
alternative is vote for people who react like this to a joke that was
obviously made for off air.

If Trump is the only alternative to woke then he'll just keep on being
popular. What's the alternative?

Hingis also has a big forehead and it's kinda Slavic feature I'd say among western Slavs?


This situation is very clear imo.


It's not his job to comment on players' looks, that would have been a bad taste and really not his job, we can't have commentators saying player xy is ugly, especially since some fans might consider those players hot.

That's directly insulting taste of some of the viewers and fans and that's inexcusable.

So if he or anyone else does that, they should receive a warning if they do it while commenting.

No brainer.



Otoh this was his private joke that accidentally went on-air right?

You can't really punish him for the thing he said, since he didn't say it "officially" on-air.

You can't really force or control people what they say, think, or joke among themselves.

So he should apologise for lack of professionalism, letting his private chat going on-air, and that's about it.

I mean, I see it no different than if he said he had massive diarrhea this morning and explaining it in detail to his colleagues.

I don't want to hear that.



You punish/warn him for this stuff getting out, not for the content itself.

Very important to distinguish it, imo.

No tears for Jon here; he works for the woke TV show "60 Minutes" that
is constantly undermining GOP politicians. Even when caught red handed,
the show double-downs and says that they did nothing wrong.

Live by the woke sword, die by the woke sword...

Yeah, the GOP does enough to undermine itself.  Epstein's best friend
for 10 years just nominated another likely sex trafficker for AG.

Not sure about that because I honestly have no clue. But you know many
Demos are (supposedly) on Epstein's list too...

How is your tennis game doing?

So, you missed the hundreds of hours of audiotapes released recently
from interviews with Epstein from 2017 where Epstein said he was Trump's closest friend for 10 years?   And if you're concerned about "60
Minutes", maybe you should be concerned about how Fox selectively edited footage from an interview where he discussed whether he'd release
information about the Epstein case if he were elected.

Like I said, no clue. I don't watch news coverage much. You didn't say
anything about possible Dems.

How is your tennis game doing?

Just fine, how about yours?

Serve needs consistency. My approach shots today sucked royal. My
volleys weren't much better. My ground strokes were good though. Thus, I
was happy on the court.

btw, if you don't watch the news, how do you know what "60 Minutes" has
been saying about GOP politicians?

So you're an uninformed voter... not surprising.

I actually am very informed on the candidates I support, but don't use
the legacy media when doing my research. I usually use websites devoted
to non-partisan analysis.
