I don't know too much about that guy, but I assume he once was a famous basketball player, right? And has a ton of trophies from all kinds of championships, yes? That must be it. Because otherwise making fun of professional athletes he never outperformed would make him such a huge ignorant asshole, they should be legally allowed to punch him in the nuts.
Reminds me of sf the time there was someone making fun of a pro NBA player for being the bottom rung. Was all cocky because they were one of the top amateur players. The ""worst"" pro beat the top rookie in a 1on1 with luke 25% effort. The worst of the best is still above and beyond normal human skill.
If you want to laugh at some cringe he has written some fiction. Oh, sorry, I should clarify: I mean besides his political fiction. Fiction like as in a story
Would be a shame if he'd share the same fate that the other right-wing cunt face. You know, pissing out of his neck while being a right-wing cunt face.
Oh look, it's the waterfront property salesman. You know what, Ben? Actually fuck Aquaman, sell them houses to your wife so she could be wet for once...
I always wonder: what has gone wrong in childhood with these guys. Did no one ever love them? Praise them? Was he in an abusive family? Was he bullied in school? Where did things go wrong?
Ben is a classic incel. The girls he had a crush on dated taller men and it gave him a complex. He wrote a whole essay about how cool he is for not being invited to any parties in university
My bet is that he wasn’t necessarily bullied, but he was ignored. And he had a charismatic brother he kept trying to copy but it just didn’t work for him. Finally, he accidentally figured out that having a common enemy bonds people (maybe complaining about a teacher?) and fucking RAN with it.
Ben Shapiro is... not the guy that I would expect to be making fun of the athletic ability of others. He seems like the kind of guy who would be made fun of.
Womens' sports are awesome. I'm not big on basketball in any form, but I love the PWHL. And they stream every game to youtube!
https://www.youtube.com/@thepwhlofficial The Womens' Pro Baseball League starts their inaugural season this Saturday, but they still haven't announced the broadcast/stream location.
https://www.womensprobaseballleague.com
First I'm seeing women's hockey on TV. I've never really followed sports but I'll stop and watch for a bit (until it goes to commercial). How is the woman's hockey compared to men's? This one play looks pretty good, at speed with accuracy. I'd imagine its maybe a little slower, like 80-90% speed, but also maybe a little more finesse. Are there still big hits and gloves off fights?
When I watched my college team, they had major restrictions on how physical they could get. I still enjoyed it cause it meant the play was much more technical.
In the PWHL their different rules compared with the NHL are mostly focused around our modern understanding of head injury.
They don't do gloves-off fights, which frankly I prefer. This was the biggest I've seen, the big hit got a Game Misconduct for head contact, then there were matching Minors.
Looks like the WPBL announced their broadcast plans today, I just didn't see it cause it only got posted to twitter and facebook. 🤷♂️ In the US, it will be on ESPN+. If you're outside the US, it will be streamed on their youtube channel.
A lot of w-sports are nice to watch, but some, like football, is (imo) to slow, to boring, i litteraly fell a sleep during a match on tele. On the other hand, brazil vs us woman team was... entertaining... amazing how the ref did not send everyone off with a red card lol, brutal brutal fouls.
This is an uncommonly insightful comment. My mother is MAGA and just spews hate (not solutions). I am LGBTQ IA+ and consistently remind her that MAGA I’d rather have me lose my job, lose my housing and be dead.
If it makes you feel any better, this guy is nothing more than a jangling set of keys designed to distract simpleminded idiots with ragebait that makes them feel superior while actually just trying to sucker his idiots into buying merch. This style of rage talk show is formulaic, and has been repeated over and over for years. But they're leveraging it as a political tool, bc they get the nost rage bait morons that way. But it's all about how they can sucker idiots out of the most money.
An article I found says that the average height of a WNBA player is just under 6'1". His claimed height is 5'9", but most people who have done comparisons think it's actually 5'5"-5'6". The same article puts the average Center in the WNBA is 6'5", so it's possible that the average Center is a full foot taller.
He's mad they *won't* wipe the floor with him. Kick him in the crotch, sweep the leg, spit on him, shove a stiletto heel up his ass, and polish the marble.
yeah, this is pretty much him throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. Ben Shapiro has always styled himself as the intellectual leader of the far right. Now that they've abandoned all semblance of intellectuality and most of even his content goes over their heads, he's having to grovel for their views by appealing to the lowest common denominator. I'd also say him being Jewish is a reason he doesn't get to hang with the cool kids anymore. Good riddance.
I$r@hell lawmakers recently approved a 1 BILLION budget to fund a cabal of "influencers" to whitewash the apartheid state, since it is so incredibly unpopular. Sadly I bet anything ben's failed propaganda company will get a nice lifeline from that endless pit of money.
Yep, they tried to become a full on network because they are all failed Hollywood writers who internalized that they failed because Hollywood was too woke for their work. Turns out they failed because they are just really shit at it.
Though ben in particular is suffering hilariously because he supported the racist group who turns out don't like Jewish people also, a plot twist worthy of the daily wires writing room.
If you want a real mindfuck go look up Steve Bannon's rendition of Coriolanus. A sample:
"To all Crips and Bloods, let’s unite and don’t gangbang and let it be a black thing for the little black girl and the homie Rodney King. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. If LAPD hurt a black, we’ll kill two. Pow. Pow. Pow. "
Yeah, there's plenty of successful conservatives in Hollywood. They're successful because their politics aren't their whole personality, unlike Shapiro.
takes a lot of people to make Daily Wire go around, and not everyone there has a grievance, only iffy morals. You can still be a legitimate artist with questionable ethic, as the MeToo movement demonstrated. The problem is the ones who DO have grievances are calling the shots, and I imagine that's the problem with most conservative media.
I mean.. people who aren’t complete shit tend to flee companies with an overall community like this more often than not for better pastures. If you are a legit artist, (in an artist focused profession) you tend to know you can find good work elsewhere.
keep in mind that at one point, the Daily Wire was one of the most profitable media companies around. Any "greener" and you run into the part of the industry gated by nepotism and the Old Boys' Club.

they're mad at him because they can make his wife wet, when he can't

Ben, let’s see a single free throw. Guarantee everyone will laugh at you. Even if you make it. You loser weasel.
GreatOdinsTaint
Let's see ol Benny boy's hoop skills. Someone set him up with a little one one one with a WNBA player. Totally on the record, of course.
Meyek
The WNBA all-star game was the same as any other sport. Nobody gives a shit when playing an all-star game to avoid getting hurt.

Ah yes, the man who bankrolled "Lady Ballers" once again criticizing women's sports. What a dingus.

Let's watch him play basketball. Or montage his show's cringe moments. Won't be hard
DukeDarkwood
I vote for the latter.

Every single moment is laughable, and cringe.

the latter sorta exists, in the form of Behind the Bastards reading and lampooning his terrible novel.
Callynd
Also his anti-sex book. Robert's read a lot of Benny Shaps' books.

It's my hope that Charlie Kirk was the right wing's Harambe - he got shot and their timeline went to shit.

I can't wait till he gets Charlie Kirk'ed for not being enough of an outright Nazi for some other lunatic's fanbase.

He's more of a Nazi than most of them, but they'll never fully accept him because of their racism

Also, he's Jewish.

And they're black.

He's just a wittle guy, those women tower over him. I'd like to see him do literally anything athletic.
