I used to call myself a liberal. I wish I was able to articulate how the recent persecutorial, hyper PC, pearl-clutching culture, has turned me against the left.

Keep this BS up, and you'll end up with a generation of young men voting for Trump-like politicians purely out of disgust for the partisan outrage culture.

I don't think disciplining a sports team for institutionalized sexism and misogyny is hyper PC. If anything, I think it is extremely educational -- in college, you just lose your sporting rights. In the workplace, you get your ass sued to kingdom come if you carry on this way. It's a university -- they're teaching students. They do the behavior -- you have two choices. 1) Ignore it. 2) Punish it. Both teach the kids something.

So, take your complaints of pearl-clutching and shove it up your ignorant, reactionary ass.

I like you! Drinks are on me!

Hard to take a stand because I haven't actually read the comments. I am going to assume, however, that they were beyond, "she's hot!" and in the territory of language that is sexually threatening, aggressive and/or violent. If the former, I think that the university would be overreacting. If the latter, the men on that soccer team who participated need to be punished. Suspending the soccer team would be a good start.

I played soccer and lived in a sorority house. We didn't do any of that stuff.

I was captain of a women's varsity sport in college, and we didn't do anything like this either. And I expect we would have faced severe consequences if we had; other teams were disciplined for alcohol violations. Athletes are held to strict standards.

Very true. My son was wearing his Redskins winter hat and a young lady approached him and told him that it was offensive.
He turned the tables on her and told her that he was poor, he got the cap at Goodwill, it was cold, and it was a warm cap in great shape for two dollars. He then apologized to her saying he was sorry that the only cap he could afford triggered her. She literally turned beet red and left with out saying a word.
Love it when their PC nonsense bites them in the rear.

Hogwash story. Not buying it. If that woman had the cajones to say that, then she definitely would've had a retort for the fake sob story.

Nope, true story. Not every emboldened nitwit is a true SJW.
He's pairing the cap with a Trump t-shirt after break.

That should remove any ambiguity re intent, LOL!

Did you miss what happened on November 8th? This disingenuous pearl clutching is creating a backlash. Privately making unflattering, crude, comments about a woman's physical appearance is not "rape culture."

This. The PC patrol is out of control and the backlash is not going to be what anyone wants.

Okay, I'll play. How do you avoid a "backlash" but still hold people to being accountable for their behavior?

If their behavior is making private, lewd, comments to themselves, it's unnecessary to do anything.

Do you routinely resort to calling people "sock puppets" when they simply don't agree with you? Such a lazy way of arguing your point.

Actually, I'd call responding to the expressions of disgust while ignoring the more substantive arguments that have been against your position "a lazy way of arguing your point."
In fact, it's the kind of behavior that probably prompted the expressions of disgust in the first place.
