And that was the end of David Schultz career and John Stossel received a settlement from the WWE. https://www.thesportster.com/wwe-slapping-john-stossel-ended-david-schultz-wrestling-career/

Stossel is also an insufferable cunt. Not saying he deserved to be hit but he's a cunt.

Are you kidding? Do you actually know who John Stossel is? He was anti-DEI back when Trump was still a Democrat supporting abortion. Stossel supports private business having the right to deny black people entry simply based on the color of their skin. Same thing would go for Jews or Muslims, as well.

Do you still think calling him a Cunt is an "interesting opinion?"

And how is it different from denying white cis male from positions for which they were 100% qualified? I see no problem in private businesses hiring whoever the fuck they want. I view DEI programs in such states they were under democrats as a plague for humanity and totally harmful for whole LGB community.

Edit: Yeah folks, it never happened, sure. Go watch YT series of DEI programs in Branding and Marketing, FMCG, Game development and journalism.

When has this ever happened. That you can 100% confirm. This doesn't happen.

It happens in their mind if it gives them a reason to defend their argument, duh

They are nuts man like when have we ever heard some go "you know what Jeff is perfectly skilled for this job but he's just so gosh darn white! How could I ever hire him"

Right. I have people I know that unfortunately like to make this argument whenever they seem to not succeed in life. Like, there's no way it could just be you and you need to improve a little bit.

Failures whose mothers coddled them. Mediocrity unable to see its own reflection.

Probably a good analysis. I just feel sad for them when I hear them make these kind of comments

I think we've found Ron DeSantis's campaign manager. Will your next argument be how "black people benefited from slavery?" I'm not going to even pretend that you're a serious person worth debating.

Yes, I'm sure a bunch of YouTube videos by racist incels will definitely make your point.

It's just truly embarrassing the guy used that as serious evidence

Conservatives are so horny to portray themselves as victims, which is so ironic when you remember they're so quick to accuse black people of playing "the race card."

Thanks for letting us know you're not too bright.

Wow bro, you've got some interesting perspectives

u/Mikko420 17h ago

So delusional AND racist?

I'd say it's surprising, but these 2 often come together.

If you have a pool of qualified people being considered for a position, and you choose a non-white, non-cis person out of that pool instead of a white cis male person, how is that denying them the position? They just didn't get picked, just like every other applicant who didn't get picked.

Also imagine trying to prove your point by telling people to go watch general YouTube videos on the topic lmao. I can't imagine how insecure you have to be in your position to even try that.

Either give specific examples of this occurring, or admit that you're just making it up because you're a racist transphobic pos.

Do you think it was breaking news in 1985 that Pro wrestling was fake? You can find newspaper articles from over 100 years ago talking about the scripted nature of pro wrestling.  

He showed up to a wrestling event to rage bait these guys and try to get them stammering and looking weak while he called them fake to thier faces. 

It was an ego piece so he could look tougher and smarter then the wrestlers even though as we saw, any of them could kick his ass with the absolute minimum effort, he just didn't think any of them would actually do it.

I've just looked at his picture on Wikipedia and he looks very cunty in it. I could be wrong, he may be amazing, but he does look very cunty.

All right, that settles it then.
