nothing wrong with that phrase. why even have commentators if they aren't allowed to say anything? and let's admit it, it's a horrible call.

the way they going now if you touch the qb they will stop the play, imo you need replay on these qb hits now

refs should be investigated for corruption.

I immediately knew what he meant. I'm not sure why people are getting so upset over it

b/c if people get offended nowadays, they feel like their opinion matters and needs to be addressed

cancel culture. Welcome to 2022

Soon there will be an “intimidating the passer” penalty where if you get close to the qb you get flagged.

That is called having an Irish discussion.

It seems we've gone waaaay too far on this. I know we want to stop injuries but damn, this is getting ridiculous. Refs aren't allowing players to play anymore. It's impacting the game outcomes and will screw people placing bets.

THERE WILLBE NO APOLOGIES!!!

All you guys are missing the point as to why people were upset at this. It wasn't because he should or shouldn't have the right to criticize the refs. People were getting upset because of the gender remark.

Here is an example of a criticism from the article:

Aikman's comments immediately drew criticism, with many believing he could have phrased his point better.
One wrote: "Totally didn’t need to gender the comment."

Aikman was right to phrase it as a gender statement. Guess what? Men are physically stronger than women so when he says they should "take the dresses off" it means they should be allowed to play like men do and sometimes that very rough.

Get the fvck out of here. What happened to freedom of speech. Fvck everything offends everyone just like me saying fvck too much when I am pissed off I am sure offends many.

As far as the play itself, at this point seriously just put flags or light up buttons on the QBs once they are touched. Have it light up pink or rainbows so no one color is offended or left out. It is disgusting that it has come to this in this league. I posted a bunch of videos on 80s/90s football last night. Troy got fvcking hammered as did every QB of that time and prior. Things didn't change until manning/brady. Troy's chin was always tapped up from getting hammered. If anyone has a right to say what he said it is him. Please NFL go to flags for your QBs. It will make for a better game

What's funny is, they call "dresses" a reference to a gender but wait......
In today's society men wear dresses too so I guess that argument is BS.

Aikman would rather put the dresses on instead of taking them off.

All my kids are back in school this year after doing it online during Covid. New school for them too so if that wasn't awkward enough for them they have some strange fvcking classmates. The one is a senior this year and he has a "furry" or whatever that is I guess he identifies a a white supremacist dog?? I have no fvcking idea. He just says they have to take him out of class often. Not sure if he has a tail or not but does bark. This fvcking world I tell you.
