I suppose Andrew Sullivan would think it was “leftist feminists policing speech” if Twitter managed to stop things like harassment of the daughters of a football coach who failed to win a game yesterday?
The Packers manhandled the Bears last night, and Chicago fans have had it with head coach Marc Trestman. Some of these angry, impotent people have access to Twitter, and have decided to direct their rage onto Trestman’s two daughters, Chloe and Sarahanne, two people who have no coaching or playing duties with the Bears.
Ah ah ah – watch it – saying the coach’s daughters have no coaching or playing duties with the Bears sounds perilously close to Policing Speech. In a very dim light it might even look like Leftist Feminism.

But they can handle that, right? Therefore, it should go right ahead, because as long as something doesn’t make you dead instantly, you can handle it, and no Policing is necessary.
Well they seem nice! WTH is this world coming to?
As the old expression goes “If you can’t stand the heat, don’t be a woman.” Right? I mean girls should expect harassment for: walking down the street, opining on the internet, going to work, playing video games, working in tech, playing in a band, playing sports, going to a bar, being interested in math/science, defending their freakin’ dad!! etc., etc. It’s almost like there is nothing that women can do (in the eyes of people like Sully) that doesn’t justify sexist and misogynist responses.
Uh oh, this very comment is probably getting dangerously close to policing speech (sometimes called “criticism” or even “push-back.”) Somebody flash the Bat-light for Sam Harris as I’m sure a PC holocaust is imminent and we are all Neville Chamberlain now.
I googled “trestman family” and the very very first link was “Trestmans daughters are hot”.
Tells you everything you need to know about the internet.
They’re 20 and 22 or thereabouts, so at least these “fans” aren’t piling pedophilia onto their misogynistic rage-boner fuckwittery. (Thank dog for small favors?)
Interesting logic there: My favorite team won = “We won!” My favorite team lost = “That damn coach and all his family need to be punished.”
Yep, sports are a great way to build character and good citizenship, ain’t they?
Exactly. Character in action!
Clearly, though, this is about ethics in sports management.
