Shaun White: Its Not Hate Its Disappointment

Avatar

Yep, that one Chucky. Like I said I didn’t want to post it to give this guy free publicity.
It’s like rewarding him for being an a**hole.
The names he calls Shaun in there I can’t even repeat on this forum because we are open to all ages. What right does he have to insult someone like that??
And if Shaun White has sold snowboarding out… where are the repercussions?
Is Snowboarding destroyed now? Hardly. It’s doing great and just added another SB event to the Olympics. I haven’t felt any negative change in snowboarding since the first day I strapped in. We are positive people.

All he has done is compete like crazy, pick up a few cheesy sponsors and wear his pants too tight. And for that he gets his whole career rubbished by these bottom feeders. What’s the difference between him and Kelly Clark?

Damn, it got me again. I don’t want to rant anymore.
Lets talk about actual Snowboarding. Not tabloids, there’s no room for that in Snowboarding.

Nothing’s changed there Chucky- the FIS has been there for a while, and Shaun did not become the face of FIS ruining snowboarding.

Sure, the FIS would have butt-raped snowboarding with or without SW - but rather than take a stand against it, SW chose to embrace it wholeheartedly.

The Olympics is hardly the benchmark for snowboarding success. We should NOT view the FIS/IOC making snowboarding their b!tch as cause for celebration.

I think he’s an awesome pipe jock - but does that excuse the fact that off the board, he’s a dick?

KC will tell anyone who’ll listen how wonderful her ‘god’ is, while SW will tell anyone who’ll listen how wonderful HE is.

Why do you need to use it? There’s ways around it as you demonstrated, if you feel you really need to use it. It’s derogatory towards women. I wouldn’t want it to be used towards Michelle, mum, sister or any female really. It’s just unnecessary.

Yeah, it’s actually a word that makes me cringe!!!!!

I could never (and still can’t) for the life of me, ever work out why women had those Bad Bitch & Crazy Bitch Stickers on the back window of their cars?????

What a load of weak, impotent, PC bollocks.

In what way exactly was MY use of the word “derogatory towards women”? As with many other words, it now has more than one meaning - and it was the most appropriate word to use in the context in which I used it.

It’s not difficult to see why even though Boardworld has almost 70,000 social media subscribers, not even one percent of them are motivated to interact on the forums. Perhaps a GetUp! or Greens sponsorship might pick things up, or a merger with the Country Women’s Association? Pussies.

I didn’t see how you used it. I don’t really care to be honest. Obviously it can be used in a non-derogatory way. What I said is just a general statement about the word. I think you would find most women find it offensive.

The forums have been around for 4 years now and this is the first time anyone has complained about the word being censored. Anyone with half a brain could use it if they wanted to anyway. A quick substitution of ! for i would do the trick quite well. I don’t see why you need to make such a big deal about it?

It would be good if we could keep this thread on topic. No need to discuss petty bullshit like this.

Pretty sure he said the word was derogatory?????

Not the way you used it!!!!!  wink

Well, I guess at least we now have a federal government which refuses to pander to the petty, unreasonable, irrational demands of a whiney, PC minority.

Or people are worried about getting ripped into for having an opinion by some coward who gets all high and mighty behind a keyboard, but is a little b!tch in person.

Why does every thread you take part in have to end up in a bloody totally off topic rant.

And yes, I do see the irony in me posting this
