I haven’t troubled myself too much with the details of this story, but it sounds like this guy met a girl on Hinge, and she was an undercover reporter, and she recorded all this stuff from their date, and now he’s suspended. The headlines are focused on the guy and the NFL, but it seems incredibly 17ed up to me that this even happened? Reporters on Hinge to get the scoop?

And I actually met my wife on Hinge. But I’m sure I said some stuff by our third date that would’ve gotten me in trouble.

I scanned the article. This guy will sue and they will settle because of discovery. He told some truths they didn't want out & definitely don't want public record of.

His Roger Goodell comment seems spot on.

I’m not against undercover reporting to find corruption, and O’Keefe has done some good work uncovering corruption before, but this seems like a stretch. What are we trying to do other than ruin this guys career?

Embarrass the nfl. It’s definitely scummy. Okeefe may be ready to be mainstream media with ethics like that.

The thing that stood out to me was that this was three dates. The third one is where you have to cut it off if you don’t want to get serious

Also, dating apps in major cities are a thing

It's chicken shìt for sure. This gotcha bullshìt is disgusting. I hope the "reporter" and her employer get rectum ticks. I just don't understand what the impetus is to get some middle management guy for an NFL team to start talking shìt to impress a girl and proceed to ruin his life.

I waffle a bit before coming down on the "why ruin his career" side.

Most of America needs to be reminded there's a powerful subset of decision-makers in all venues with a dramatically different set of values who think everyone with different viewpoints is stupid, and acts accordingly in pushing agendas.
However, singling out one guy to torpedo wasn't the way to do it...find more so you can show a pattern and make it enough you can expose them anonymously.

What happened to picking up women in a bar?
Man, I don't know what you're talking about. When I was in my early 20's I would have made a full time lifestyle outta using dating apps had they existed. I was doing everything I could to knock em down from age 20-25... I would have loved to have gotten more with better technology.

It's just efficiency. Unfortunately the only tech we had was eHarmony which seemed less about hooking up with a girl who might throw down and way more about finding a nice Pentecostal girl to take to the county livestock sale.

Wtf @ZombieKissinger you had to share this huh?

Now you have me going down the rabbit hole. I've never heard of this O'Keefe Media Group
So I looked it up. It's disgusting. They're literally trying to recruit people to be Tik Tok journalists and "dating app specialists." I thought it was going to be a bunch of "Libs". Nope, apparently it's "Right Wing".

This country is 17ed. The right is now full of just as much dipshìttery as the left and cancel culture is coming at you from all directions. In just one and a half minutes you too can become a citizen journalist.

Yeah, I went down the same path. Never heard of it, assumed it was left wing, read a little more about it, and felt totally hollow

Just to be clear, these are the guys, previously known as Project Veritas, who exposed that Planned Parenthood was selling fetus parts to research organizations despite their protestations that they weren't. That's where O'Keefe made his name.

To me, that was worthy whistle blowing. This feels gross.

This is why you don't talk about sensitive stuff until after she's nekkid.

Enteen told the undercover reporter that "most of the fans are high-school-educated alcoholics" and called them "mouth breathers."

This guy posts on this board.

The only thing I've seen from them before this involved actual matters of public concern. Generally find some thirsty guy (straight or not) that will spill the beans on internal government stuff because somebody out of their league has agreed to go out on a few dates.

This basically doesn't reveal anything that people didn't generally already know (the NFL just cares about money; everything else is virtue signaling; belief that homosexuality is wrong is still pretty prevalent among african americans). The guy is pretty contemptuous of NFL players, ownership, and fans, and it's really stupid to broadcast that to anybody that's not your spouse, and even with your spouse that's probably better off unsaid, but there's nothing particularly newsworthy or interesting about that. I can get blasting a midlevel government employee that holds the american government and separation of powers in contempt, as that kind of attitude and how prevalent it is probably does contribute a lot of the abuses by federal, state, and local governments. But messing with a private employees' life because it would slighlty embarrass the NFL if its owners had any shame? Just ******.

One thing I want to know is this. What kind of idiot picks up some girl he's never met on some dating app I've never heard of and proceeds to spill his guts with stuff like this?
Women have a power that can tempt the strongest of men.

Man, you'd hate to know some of the stupid/embarrassing shìt I did/said to get try and get laid when I was single. Even worse, after 15 years of marriage you should see what I have go through to get laid by my wife... It's brutal.
After 35 years I'd like to tell you it gets better. I'd also like to win the lottery and start growing hair on top of my head instead of in my nose and ears.
