A lot of people on both sides, to be fair.

A problem in 2019 unfortunately.
In curiosity (I have stated that i am a huge Dokish fan), has anyone actually seen him work published in a non blog of his? I was looking around the internet several days back after seeing this post and i couldn't seem to find one that wasn't his "blog" site that looks like it was created by a middle schooler. I think i might just jump off the Dokish train. I like his passion for Pitt athletics, but he seems like a thin skinned, fraud.
I think M. Vok does a great job for us Pitt fans, but I do agree that it is not a good business decision to put your political leanings on social media. I am a small business owner, I know better. That being said... Harris’ tweet was very misleading. To claim that being bussed from one Berkeley neighborhood to another as an eight year old is responsible for her becoming a Lawyer and Senator is BS. The middle school and high schools were already mixed in Berkeley back then BTW. That IS a false narrative.

Plus as I understand it, busing wasn’t a popular issue among blacks and whites almost universally back then. I thought I read somewhere that blacks were over 90% on the same side of the issue as Biden. So for her to politicize it was, well, being dishonesty politically.
Is he an insider anymore? He had basketball connections that left the program over a decade ago. Not sure he’s anything more than a glorified message board poster these days.
Typos are easy to overlook. A politician lying to further a cause isn't.
Just saw on Twitter that Dokish tweeted about the Netflix show “Stanger Things”, and he said how it captures the decade of the 80’s beautifully...but the 80’s were a terrible decade. Many people disagreed, stating that the 80’s were great. I suppose they are all blocked now.
What’s funny is that, as always, you unintentionally reveal your own hypocrisy. In the very same thread, a couple people pushed back on your lazy post and you, yourself ran with it to try and create a false narrative about people who disagreed with you.
You post on the locker room, so you apparently enjoy echo chambers too.
Not really. It’s only an echo chamber in the locker room when guys with opposing viewpoints choose to go on hiatus because they don’t like to hear opposing viewpoints and then the board skews in one direction. A few softees have checked out, but to everyone's benefit, plenty are still around. Maybe the guys who checked out are off protesting the American flag or something. Hope they come back. Great dialog is healthy.
Edit: Interestingly, if you go the the front page of the locker room, 9 leftists have started threads, and 9 righties started threads. That doesn’t support your point.

People who speak about politics are typically pretty weak minded based on studies regarding intellect.
LOL........same mentality they have with Fox News raining on the parade, whilst the rest of the news networks are on one side.
Ski, we need to talk more about each other's feelings. So, how are you feeling right now? What is troubling you and how can I help??
True story, he blocked me on twitter because he was going on a rant about the Steelers red zone offense sucking and how pathetic it was.
I responded and said something to the effect of "their red zone offense is ranked in the top 5 in the NFL. They are having a bad game" or something along those lines. Didn't say anything attacking him or calling him a name or anything like that. I was blocked. LOL.
Again, you’re wrong. Rivals is a publisher and can be sued for libel. Twitter and Facebook have immunity to defamation claims because of their claim to be an open forum.
Ok professor I get the libertarian boomer drool “it’s dur company Dey can do what they want” but that’s not reality anymore. First these huge forums are essentially monopolies. If you want to access huge swathes of the internet you must go through Facebook, google or twitter.
Second, as already explained, Twitter and Facebook have been afforded LEGAL IMMUNITY FROM DEFAMATION based on their operation as an open forum. Banning speech based on content is clearly not in the spirit of open forum. Once they start editing and banning they become publishers in essence and arguably should no longer have immunity.
Soon republicans aren’t going to be allowed to have phone lines in their homes and the libertarian boomer mouth breathers will support it. DERP ITS DER PHONE LINES DERP ITS DER CHOICE TO CONNECT YOU
You help every day, Owtie, by providing me with endless amusement.
Then why are you so miserable?
You just have to learn to be more tolerant of those who you don’t agree politically with.
Btw, you’re a fan of Stranger Things, correct? I binge watched season 3 already. It was fun. But not great IMO.

Athletic Director
The "legal immunity" was given to providers so that their platforms couldn't be sued for content that was posted by someone they couldn't easily control in real time, and as we know, the internet is forever. The courts haven't really taken up the issue and congress has pushed these sites to self-police themselves for content. We could take a walk down the ole "who's been in charge of congress lately" lane if you want but that's overly political.
Defamatory "speech" is not protected. Neither are direct threats. But blatant propaganda or fringe lunacy is left unchecked. Go look for it. It's there.
Look....I know many of you are long term posters. There was a pretty popular poster who was "censored" and put on time out because of his perceived knowledge of the program and the University. He was often more right then wrong but what occurred is he blurred the lines between his opinion and the stance the Athletic department (and the Board) was trying to take. His influence actually caused the Athletic Department to reverse course on a hire.
Good. I am glad I can help I was going to offer you $5 if it would help make you feel better.
Who says I’m miserable?

I have no problem with people disagreeing. I won’t waste my time with a forum where nobody wants genuine, substantive debate.
No need. I get enough joy holding out hope that you’ll climb off your high horse and admit you’re a hypocrite.
if i’m being honest, geraldo and i probably wouldn’t have that much to talk about if we ever hung out
Ah dokish... believe it or not i got banned because he inexplicably said, after a bad game for Roethlisberger, " this is why a qb who throws as many picks as ben will never win a superbowl". My reply was simply sometimes you should back away from the twitter machine. my only guess he was drunk.
Except they aren’t
If anything the networks skew conservative regarding news
I knew better than to click, "Show Ignored Content" to see what you were replying to.
Now I need to remember, "Know better, do better" for the future.
I do
They try so hard to both sides every issue they ignore the actual facts and reporting
One thing we can agree on, they certainly do ignore the facts that don't fit the version of the story they want to tell. But the notion that CNN or MSNBC or even the "Big Three" networks are trying really hard to present both sides of most issues is laughable.
I rarely if ever post, but this one made me come out of the shadows.
This post is enough not to take anything this guy says seriously, ever.
You forgot to use the sarcasm font...because you must be joking.
Why is this shocking? To Souf, Bernie Sanders and Hugo Chavez are conservative.
