Al Michaels, on Sunday's prime-time broadcast, decided now was a time to reopen some of these wounds:
“And let’s face it: the Giants are coming off a worse week than Harvey Weinstein, and they’re up by 14 points!”I don't think many people are getting how deep this shit cuts.
I don't think many people WANT TO GET how deep this shit cuts.
I don't think many people get how much some of the people who have been wronged and raped and ravaged and all that shit by half of Hollywood and God knows how much else of the entertainment industry have meant to some people who needed something to fucking believe in.
Michaels has apologized:
You don't get it, Al: I'll be the first to admit I've also fallen into the trap Mayim Bialik put herself in and all that stuff (and, trust me, Mayim: You didn't always dress that modest.)... I've said some things, meaning one thing and it coming across as quite another (and threatening in that respect!).Al Michaels' apology for Weinstein joke pic.twitter.com/QrIPTb6l2X— That Dude (@cjzer0) October 16, 2017
We are, as a culture, a rape/sexual assault/criminality culture, where so much is glossed over so we can be entertained, whether it be on the sports fields more endemic to this blog or the entertainment of the like of Debbie or Mayim or Olivia or whoever...
Al, you should be FIRED for that. Sorry. Now is not the time to be making light of this.
