his comments were dumb but they’re not the tremendous deal some have made them out to be. there’s nothing worse than sitting at a game listening to people talk the entire time about anything and everything except the game. his shopping comment was chauvinistic and he could have suggested another topic, but i say he only noticed them because they have 2 of the best seats in the house and spent the least amount of time taking advantage of those great seats.
seems like a lot of outlets are trying to use dibble’s remarks to further their longstanding desire to have him yanked.

In general, I agree with you. I think there’s a lot of faux outrage generating actual outrage by people who weren’t paying attention in the first place. A perfect storm of hurt feelings and self-esteem building.
But he handled it terribly. The blog post he wrote never uses the word ’sorry’. And his comments on-air blamed ‘toxic cyber space’ for misconstruing his words — as if he’s the victim.

“Andy Reid makes a fan remove his McNabb jersey.”
Did it smell like bacon?
Was judge who sent his boys to jail named McNabb?
That sounds awfully juvenile– even for a walrus.

“Rob Dibble said some insensitive, unfunny things about women.”
But your caption for Dibble is really hilarious, and I’m sure your women reader(s) are less offended by it than a joke about shopping.
Let his statements be what they are…. a not so funny joke. Anyone who is offended or “outraged” should be donkey punched.

I can’t take credit for the caption; as noted, that’s a Capitol Punishment creation.

Jamie: We need t-shirts for women to wear to a Nats home game that say “NOT talking about shopping.” I’d pay women behind home plate to wear those.
I regularly talk to other women during Nats games–90% of the time about baseball (that game or another one in progress or the merits of various players), 5% about what we should eat or drink, 5% about the attractiveness of various players on the field, 0% about shopping.

Shut up all you idiots. None of you are talking about baseball and it is sickening. You are on a freakin sports website and you are talking about me. What? Now you are offended about that? Pansies.

Show ‘em your tats, Rob. That’ll impress everyone.
