If that was your son and someone pulled out a handgun  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 4/22/2018 4:27 pm : link
in order to make "a joke", would you find that funny? I've HEARD the joke and laughed, but someone actually pulling out a gun is way over the top and if he did that around my child, there would be a whole 'nother set of problems. If it's a character flaw that my family and friends don't joke by pulling out weapons, so be it.

Every father that loves his daughter has told her date, in a very bold manner and emphatic manner: You WILL not (drink/do drugs/fool around/...) ....or, You WILL(great her with respect/have her home at [time,] , won't you?...and Oh, by the way, my (gun name) is loaded.
Some dad's even show it for show,just to make them both think twice.
Sheesh, talk about sensitive whimppy winey people.
Yeah I doubt anybody is offended.

He just looks like boner.
That's just my opinion.
I think guys wearing chains with gold AK pendants on them, or tattoos of guns, or skulls & bullseyes and AR15 silhouettes all over their t-shirts & automobiles all look like boners.

Oh FFS. Thats quite a leap there.

actually thats why there was backlash and why he apologized.


It might have been one of the reasons there was a backlash - but doesn't make it a reasonable thing to get upset about. And he apologized because he's not just a retired kicker - he has a job in the media and doesn't want to lose it over this dumb shit. So he apologized.

But now apparently he's got Shockeyisthebest to worry about because internet tough guy would go after anyone that exposed an unarmed gun near his family. Jay is understandably trembling in fear.
In private, it's a funny joke

to go through our lives and never be offended? It's irrational and pretty self centered to believe that every person in the world should be sensitive to the experiences, wants, needs, desires, and triggers of every other person in the world. Do people have the right to complain? Of course. But I don't see the point of it all. We've gotten to the point where people are demonized for the most innocuous, unintentional "offenses" and perceived insults. It's moralizing and grandstanding. "My views are enlightened and right, your views are mean and wrong". Are there things in life, personal views and ideas that bother me? Absolutely. But people have a right to live their lives, so long as they're not intentionally demeaning and hurting others, and I'm not going to waste my time bitching at those people in a sad, vain attempt to prop myself up as being morally superior. People need to get over themselves.



To me its not even the getting mad or complaining I get mad at some things and laugh at others. Its the ones stomping their feet creating a huge uproar until everyone agrees with them like a spoiled 16 year old girl ( yes dont care if that offends anyone). And it gets worse and worse with every generation


Actually not true. Studies show that Generation Z is trending hard back to a centrist position, maybe even a tick right, likely as a result of the way over the top millennial attitude of self-righteousness and psuedo-outrage over everything.

Not fucking funny at all.

The single weirdest phenomenon is the confusion between having an opinion and being outraged.

No one is outraged by this picture. No one is uproaring.

People have opinions, they make comments, they lob feelings, and then move on.

Uproar and outrage is reaction to the Parkland shootings, the chemical attacks in Syria, Harvey Weinstein. Thinking a dude is stupid for taking a picture with a gun and making a joke about it is stupid is not outrage.

The boogie man of "faux-outrage" is mainly just a useful dig when others have opinions different than yours and express them.

Well I guess you are now the official arbiter of who is outraged or reacts with an uproar. We should all maybe check with you before we decide if people are outraged or just have an opinion, so we don't confuse the authorities that something we posted uses the word outrage or uproar because the poster agrees or disagrees with the various opinions (this one has me really confused).

My use of the word uproar came from Giants beat writer Ryan Dunleavy whose tweet I saw about it - AFTER I already saw the tweet and noticed for some reason Jay Feely was trending on twitter.

I don't know this for a fact, but I'm guessing based on his profession, he leans left politically, the same way people who may potentially act uproarious (if you allow the use of the word) to such content. So try again omniscient one.

Age-old joke? Or crossing a line in today's climate? Ex #Giants, #Jets kicker Jay Feely poses holding gun with his daughter and prom date. It caused an uproar: http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2018/04/jay_feely_poses_holding_gun_with_daughter_prom_dat.html #nyg #nyg #nygiants #nyjets


And in his article he cited many of the tweets that he felt counted as an uproar.

and again the guy (Feely) is trending on twitter, so the response might not be as insignificant as you may like to believe and the use of uproar from what I know was not intended as a "useful dig" to belittle anyone whose opinion differs.

Even if it is overstated.

simply tweeting something and having an opinion isnt outrage, no different than me and whoever else called him an idiot for it. People are calling him out for something they think was stupid, really not a big deal. If they start showing up at his house for a gun control protest, that would be outrage.

pjcas18 : 4/22/2018 7:29 pm : link
if the word uproar isn't to your liking, then maybe you can try a synonym, when the guy is trending on twitter because so many people commented on his tweet it qualifies as "something" I'll let the vocabularily superior to me fill in the word.

I am fine with uproar, especially since I got it from someone else's tweet. If you prefer outcry or furor, fuss or reaction then in your mind replace the word uproar with any one of them. I'm totally fine with replacing the word uproar and not changing anything.

the definition of uproar for your reference, I'm not married to word and largely find the actual word used to describe the reaction irrelevant. Not nefarious as Christian suggested and Uconn seconds.

Outraged is a pretty high bar. I really do think some use that word in place of something more accurate or descriptive when it doesn't align with their view.

Uproar is probably a more fair way to describe it actually.

Not sure if you are projecting here - but if this were true Feely would not be the 'goose' sideline guy on FOX sundays and he wouldn't have issued an apology given the recent criticism.

Can't someone just be normally, flippantly, casually, momentarily critical of something?

Is it outrage at a four way stop and someone waves you ahead and let's their foot off the break at the same time, or when there's just a little bit of crushed up pretzel on the only open seat on the subway?

Must we either be silent or outraged? Can't we just be averagely, unoutrageosly upset!

Blame the OP. The precedent was set when he said it caused an uproar. Generally, uproars do not occur without outrage.

Is someone makes a comment in general about people being outraged, that doesnt necessarily point to you. Apparently there is outrage. Whether or not you fall into that category is entirely for you to decide, but that also has no bearing whatsoever on whether or not something exists.
