The same people condemning Fauria would probably laugh their asses off at Snoop’s “Todd” character. And rightfully so. It’s funny.Some people might question why we need sensitivity training and diversity, equity and inclusion policies. Some comments say, people are soft or don’t have a sense of humor nowadays.
I’m an immigrant but before that, I was also a minority in my birth country. I have lived through it. These comments really don’t hurt from an individual standpoint but it relegates a group of people to being a certain stereotype. It’s very difficult to break from a certain stereotype. It stays with you subconsciously and it becomes an institutional norm.
So if you’re with a group of buddies and you say stereotypical stuff, I can honestly say, those things are pretty funny. I do enjoy racial jokes. But when you say it from a platform of broadcast, it affects a whole group of people negatively on both the oppressed and “ruling” side.
Sorry if I made this political in any way. Just how I’m feeling right now.

You’re 100% right. I mean correct.Maximum exposure and visibility.
No reason they couldn't run 3 separate sessions so programming isn't disrupted.

It’s very clear this is to change public perception. Otherwise, they would do exactly what you said and not trumpet about it.
Nothing like shotgun management, raging political correctness, and a knee jerk reaction.
Hint: Train you on air people to not think they can say anyuthing they want whenever, without repercussions.
It's appalling what some of the people at 98.5 have done through the years, too, mocking gay people, women, etc.
Zolak acts like a 12 year old. It's embarrassing. And, don't get me started on Felger and Mazz. These people have kids and set an awful example for life.
I agree. It's all about hot takes and being outrageous.
I would love to see a real sports talk show, one that actually is about sports.
If football, more of say Matt Chatham and his football by football analysis and zero hate based, rile em up for clickbait crap that is what Felger & Maz brought to the airways years ago.
Sadly, they got ratings and real sports related content took a backseat to insults and lies.
Weei is so transparent here, they lose sponsors so they get all sensitivity with us. The damn sponsors have no balls because they react to the morality police that complained to them in the first place.
All I really want when I put on a sports talk show is to be entertained and educated about sports.
Go figure.....
Which is fine, but if you're actually being unprofessional, while subtly being racist, sexist or a bigot, and defaming others, I am sorry, that's crossing the line a bit.
I think when you tune into a certain station, say Howard Stern, and you're running a known genre of radio, that's sort of different.
I just sent this the to WEEI: "All day sensitivity training with KKKallahole, Adolph Minihane, Ordway and Merloni??? Holy s###, you guys oughta sell tickets!!!". I'm deadly serious when I say I'd pay to be a fly on the wall for that show! Imagine the poor pr##k teaching that thing??? Holy s###!!!
