Following on from his zionist / supremacist stance on Palestine, he's gone and shot himself in the foot again here:-
https://metro.co.uk/2024/05/30/fans-beg-tv-icon-stop-talking-admits-missing-real-men-20943087/
Questionable dating practices, questionable ethics re slaughter of innocence and now missing the Sean Connery woman slapping Bond era as well... This guy is really blowing his legacy!
"When I was in that era, again, it was JFK, Muhammad Ali, Sean Connery, Howard Cosell, thatβs a real man."
I find some of his choices odd. Perhaps he was making a joke?
I've never heard of that Howard Cosell before. Just looked him up - He looked a bit like Walter Matthau!
shareExtremely famous Monday Night Football host. I tuned in just to watch him. He had a distinctive voice and delivery.
shareIn reverse, I suspect Americans would have no idea who David Coleman was either. Funny though, you think of US celebs being as well known in the UK but I guess famous TV news / sports presenters could walk the streets here pretty anonymously.
shareI wasn't sure if you were just too young to know him or not American.
I wouldn't expect any non-American to follow football let alone know a football announcer. Cosell was the best. R.I.P.
British soccer announcers appear on U.S. TV because our announcers are horrible and know nothing about the sport. But, I'll only watch soccer on U.S. Spanish language TV, although I'm not fluent. They're knowledgeable, energetic, fun and their "Goal!!!" yells are classic.
He did football, but his heart was always in boxing.
shareThere was any other?
shareNot sure what your research revealed about Howard Cosell, but he was the most famous/well-liked/well-known Sports Announcer before John Madden came on scene.
He was chummy with Mohammad Ali and called a lot of his fights, but was best known for Olympic Coverage on ABC, and Monday Night Football.
He was fired from MNF when he said that black people were "bred" to be stronger, more fit, etc, thus their dominance in Sports. They were bred to be strong cotton-pickers, and "bought" with those characteristics, and so later generations benefitted from that. Interesting commentary with some validity, but for that he was fired.
I'm thinking Cosell was a joke. The others are pretty traditionally masculine men.
shareKennedy is iffy since too pretty although masculine kudos for military service, wealth, ladies man, football playing and leadership.
Traditional masculinity = Joe Namath, Ronald Reagan, John Wayne, Hugh Hefner, Marlboro man
I don't think so. Cosell was very much about all things masculine. He was loud, he was opinionated, he was a respected authority. He was a hard-drinking guy. He was synonymous with boxing and football, the manliest of sports, in an era when they were still brutal and, in boxing's case, hugely popular.
shareGood points.
shareI take his point about scripts being passed through various committees to vet them for anything that might cause offence, and Rob McElhenney's argument is moot, as IASIP started in 2005 and isn't the popular show it once was.
It's natural to mourn the passing of bygone days, attitudes and role models. It's also worth remembering that the brain shrinks 5% per decade starting from age 40, and the shrinking accelerates from about age 60. The ability to learn and adapt to new experiences or situations decreases.
I'm not excusing his dogmatic support for Israel though. Many of these Jewish-American celebrities would be firmly on the authoritarian right if they were actually Israeli, though they usually claim to be on the liberal left.
... and Rob McElhenney's argument is moot, as IASIP started in 2005 and isn't the popular show it once was.
"blah, blah, blah the ability to learn and adapt to new experiences or situations decreases."
The ability to learn and adapt remains. The desire decreases, because so much of what's new is asinine, or just isn't worth the trouble. There's simply no interest in it. If you happen to look back on what you've written here many years from now, after you've grown up, you'll laugh.
He's simply not wrong though and our society and today's generation in general are soft as fuck
shareyeah.... sadly, people aren't going to recognize or face this for another decade.
Guys will become afraid of sex, and stop going after women, and the women will have to act and dress like hoes to compete with each other, inflate their asses and lips, and post sex-styled tiktoks to try to attrack the weak guys again, so they can have a kid.
Reminder that this guy who decries modern people being 'soft' genuinely worries about satanism
shareLegend. I never watched Seinfeld and didnβt think much of the guy, but speaking the truth like he has in todayβs insane climate takes sack, I now have massive respect for him.
The only people heβs βalienatingβ are Leftoid shitheads - no decent person would want anything to do with those creatures.

A 38-year-old Seinfeld alienated a lot of folks when he had an underage girlfriend.
shareLame smear attempt
shareStill a huge controversy and made Seinfeld a creepy old pervert.
Seinfeld also broke-up the marriage of his present wife who dumped her newlywed hubby to run off with him.
Unlike you, I'm a Seinfeld series fan which I watched from episode one when they struggled with ratings. It's among the best written series.
The masculine comment sounds like Jerry Seinfeld humor. I believe he said it to get buzz for his new movie. Be controversial, but not too controversial.
Yeah, I bet you didnβt give a shit about any of this until he started calling out woke BS.
I'm a huge Don Rickles, Joan Rivers, Mr. Blackwell, Howard Stern fan. Since early childhood, I always enjoyed raw insult humor.
Your username is ugly and geeky. I bet you are too! And you're a snowflake.
In his defense, she had an astonishing rack.
shareSeinfeld chasing her 17-year old astonishing rack is what made him a creepy old man.
At least wait until she was of legal age and out of high school.
Also weird was that creepy Seinfeld line, which was in an episode aired after this whole affair, when his dirty talk was to ask his woman of the week to wear her panties like her mom had laid out for her (or suchlike)...
Now Seinfeld was of a different time, with a lot of stuff which wouldn't fly in today's puritan era (probably why he's so keen to see dominant men back) but even for then, and especially after dating that (literal) girl, that was verging on paedo-ish...
I didn't remember the panties remark so I Googled:

Funny.... and creepy! π
I used to be offended that a bunch of ugly, quirky, poor guys were routinely getting attractive women especially George.
So, a couple of weeks or months later, after she turned eighteen, she's magically different and it's just fine? Eighteen is nothing but an arbitrary number picked out of nowhere for legal purposes. It has no moral or biological significance. Maturity depends on the individual.
sharePedophile!
shareIt was a matter of days.
Sheβs 49 now btw. A matter of days. She was 48 less than a week ago and now sheβs 49.
So, a couple of weeks or months later, after she turned eighteen, she's magically different and it's just fine?
It's quite possible Jerry would not have been interested unless she was still at high school and underage.
What you think she would have been, magically or otherwise, after her 18th birthday and school ended is irrelevant. Jerry at 39 yo though it was cool for him to date a high school kid.
Yeah! Thank GOD he designed women to be completely incapable of becoming pregnant until thier 18th birthday, or have any sexual feelings until then. Can you image a world where that wasn't the case? That would be CrAzY!!!
shareYou have sex with 9-year-old fertile boys because they have wet dreams. That's CrAzY!!!!
shareCool projection bro
shareYou're the one associating underage children and sex. You're pervy.
share(sigh) I wish you were bright enough to read my words up there and understand what it really means.
it's so good teen pregnancy is ONLY fiction. never happens. nope. never.
How many high school girls did you impregnate?
shareYou seem incapable of sustaining adult discussion without running opposition people down.
That's a weak offense.
Noted.
Throughout most human existence, the average life span was 20s or 30s. A 12-year-old was an adult.
Your argument is null and void in the modern era.
Would you be willing to prove me wrong by showing me proof no woman has ever become pregnant BEFORE the age of 18?
If I am wrong, I will concede.
Now that he is a billionaire, he doesn't have to kiss liberal-ass anymore to win acting gigs or comedy shows. He's finally seeing the light. Maybe he's going a bit overboard, but some of it is tongue-in-cheek, a la "Colbert Report" Comedy Central.
History will be very kind to Seinfeld, unlike his spineless peers.
Like perhaps Alec Baldwin and Robert De Niro, just to name two on the list of 100's?
I mean those guys are actors rather than comedians but, essentially, yes.
shareUnfortunately one comedian who no longer has any credibility is Bill cosby.
He actually had a lot of smart things to say about the Black community, how they need to talk right, abandon ebonics, get a job, stay with the mothers of their kids, pull up their pants, turn down the music, assimilate and stop naming their kids Tamika and Marshawn, etc, among dozen other things that are destroying the black community besides of course crime and gangs. Most of that is due to absent fathers.
Sometimes a woman needs a good slap. What is your problem?
shareTo be fair, woman used to get a lot more hysterical back in the '60s. I believe the medical / psychiatric viewpoint of that day was that a good sharp slap may have some positive effect...
shareHey, if she wont make me a sandwich...she's getting a slap.π A good slap in the face would solve a lot of this "feminist" bullshit going on in the world today.
shareHave you looks around and these woke shrews nowadays?
shareSaying you want men in society to get back to showing dominate masculinity is important if America will survive.
shareAre you saying dominate masculinity is needed to save America?
shareYes. If you create a society of weak men it would be easier to destroy America from the inside.
shareEasier for who? Who's going to destroy America from the inside?
shareThe puppet masters behind the scenes of the Biden Regime.
shareWell I've seen some videos of Biden which clearly show he's not firing on all cylinders / not the full bhuna, so I can certainly believe there must be puppet masters.
But who exactly do you think they are? And what are their aims?
I've seen some videos of Biden which clearly show he's not firing on all cylinders
You must be watching some Fox News like me. I watch all of the nightly "news" channels, and only Fox News shows Biden as the blundering idiot that he is. All the others kiss his ass and call him a genius.
Interesting to hear that.
I'm not American so only seeing stuff on YouTube but it seems almost impossible that these other network think they could fully mask his dementia. I mean, the guy literally gets stuck in the middle of sentences.
It's like the powerful drugs he must be taking have either worn off or he's getting some huge kick from them! Either way it's odd to watch.
Fox News (Hannity) ran a comparison last night of Biden's SOTU (State of the Union) address vs. recent speeches. He was firing on all cylinders for the SOTU, but stumbling over his words and making no sense in the more recent videos. There was a silent implication that they had him drugged up for the SOTU.
He's clearly getting hooked on the false sense of relevance he thinks he acquires from saying dumb shit like this and getting a reaction.
Better than the lack of reaction his movie is getting, I suppose.
