Shannon Sharpe Rips the Dolphins' Locker Room Culture

Stu says...

While he has an important message that he is trying to get across. This "culture" they are arguing about goes far deeper than anyone realizes. Vocabulary should be the least of anyone's concern. For a side note about the vocabulary used, the word in question has lost its meaning as he is stating. Can it be a powerful word when used in a demeaning and demoralizing context? Absolutely. However, the blatant use and misuse of the word by everyone, blacks, whites and everything in between, has changed the meaning of the word. It is similar to the word fag. It has been years since I have heard the word actually used as a vicious attack towards a homosexual. Can it be? Absolutely. It is commonly used as that? Not even close. Words change meanings over time and especially over generations.

This is not the case here. The "culture" they talk about starts with teenage boys. Walk into a high school locker room. The threatening messages these two dolphins players sent each other are the same ones kids use. Martin even sent a text message to Incognito apologizing for the situation and that he doesn't blame him or they interactions. They are still friends. That says more about the whole situation than anything. They are still friends.

This "culture," yes I'm using quotes for a reason, is being founded in these men from the time they are boys. I was in locker rooms through high school and college. Have I used all the words they refer to? Yes I have. Do I hate anyone I was talking to? Not in the slightest, but it still happened because boys are boys. They don't know any better. That is the real issue. Coaches at the high school and college level are failing their players, not in a sport sense, but in a "how not to be a condescending piece of shit asshole" way. The morals I learned from my parents and family were not taught by many of my coaches. I had one coach who would bench you for this type of behavior. He did not care if you were the star or a third stringer. He did no care if we lost. He said he was more interested in teaching the kids how to be real men than to be football players. This was a great college coach and a great mentor.

This falls to them and to parents to try and teach at a young age this is not socially acceptable behavior. If they don't, they grow into men like we have on the dolphins, and then we have news stories like this. If these announcers think this isn't what EVERY single NFL or NBA locker room is like then they are even more delusional than I first thought.

Guy builds his own submarine from a kayak

spawnflagger says...

If he built some mechanism to hold the bubbles, and make the tail fin pedal-powered, this would be a great stealth vehicle. So small that sonar would think it's just a shark or dolphin.

Bigger fish than expected

poolcleaner says...

A bigger MAMMAL than expected. Wait... not a fish but a mammal... no, no -- a thing that's bigger than another thing which was expected but this was not... expected. A bigger flipper than -- no, no, flipper was a dolphin, but was a mammal. Definitely definitely too small. This was BIG.

Does a Sloth Sink or Swim?

lucky760 says...

That's awesome. In several million years they may become exclusively water dwellers, similarly to how dolphins and whales evolved from pig-like and cow-like creatures.

Except the sea-sloths will have huge claws at the ends of their fins.

[edit]
Actually, it seems there were species of sea-sloths evolving through history, with their snout growing longer with a raised breathing hole. I guess evolution proved them too slow to survive in the water, as they all went extinct and left the ground-based species to carry on their good name.
