It's been a great week for New York sports! Yankees lost the world series in embarassing fashion, the Jets are a hot fucking mess, the Knicks got blown off the court by the Celtics.

Other than my teams winning, watching NY teams get crushed makes me happy.

The Bears haven't won a Sunday game on the road in 18 games.
The last Bears QB to win a Sunday road game was Nick Foles

Imagine if a white broadcaster dressed up like a black dude.

ESPN would get out the pitchforks.
Everyone is making this about race when it was meant to be funny (and scary). It does not bother me when a white guy dresses as a black guy when it's meant to be funny.

Always sunny was funny as fuck when they did this and no one was canceled.

Robert Downey was funny as fuck when he played a black man and no one was canceled.

They would never be able to do something like tropic thunder today.

As far as the "It's always sunny" episode...

FXX’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is revisiting a past controversy in its current fifteenth season.

In 2020, Netflix pulled an episode of the long-running comedy titled Dee Reynolds: Shaping America’s Youth, which included an interpretation of Lethal Weapon 5. In the episode, show creator and cast member Rob McElhenny plays Danny Glover’s character, Murtaugh, and uses blackface. A later episode offers Lethal Weapon 6, which also uses blackface.

But times change, and what was once deemed funny now is viewed differently in 2021.

McElhenney acknowleged that the show sometimes goes too far in remarks at an FX Network press conference.

So yeah, that episode kind of been 'cancelled'..

They went years of this show after that EP first came on and still make money to this day off that show. This is not getting canceled. No fans are bitching about this show and wanting these people to go away.

Everyone makes this a big deal because they care. What makes Tropical Thunder so good is that they didnt give a fuck. Its a good movie and people love it.

You could make tropical thunder again today I'd you dont give a fuck. There is not enough people today with the balls to say "fuck you. I'm gonna make the movie I want. You got a problem with that then cool...don't see my shit.".

Honestly the whole "if the roles were reversed" argument is weak sause. Well reverse the roles then. Be the change you wanna see.

Yeah, RDJ in Tropic Thunder too

Nuance is lost on a lot of soap box virtue signlers though

It's usually not black people that have a big issue with it. It's white women :)

These days there are an awful lot of obese communist lesbian women that have a problem with everything.
