It’s just as meaningful as calling Jan. 6 an insurrection.
To: Zman
“They” don’t want the term watered down lest the use of it around the events of January 6 become more meaningless than it already is...

Woke is the new mandatory religion. Cultural enforcement is the new imperative and therefore trumps every jot and tittle of the U.S. Constitution. Everywhere you look, there it is, the long arm of woke. Like Orwell’s Big Brother.
To: Zman
It was a bizarre use of the term.

He’s just an inarticulate sports announcer.
My guess is he meant “resurrection”, which I suppose would have offended some folks as well.
To: Zman
Insurrection is now verboten?!

It was a bizarre use of the term.When you talk for a living - whether politics, sports, or finance - it is inevitable that you make a mistake or utter a non-sequitur.

“They” don’t want the term watered down Exactly. Just like BLM's reaction when someone says "All Lives Matter."

Remember the “nappy headed hos” controversy?
OR:
“Look at that little monkey run...”
Two past sports comments that didn’t go over too well.

These folks are just getting an “erection” from criticizing something, someone, anything they can.

Just wondering did the Warriors (Capitol Hill Police) shot and killed any Celtics (insurrectionists) players?
