How’s that a bad look

How’s that a bad look

Welcome to 2017, where ya been?

 

[UChusky916]

There's a taste of sexism in the tweet by insulting field hockey. I'm sure Oregon's Field Hockey team wouldn't be happy seeing that.

I'm not going to say it's offensive, but it's just not a good look.

If our MBB twitter account tweeted it out, I'd be disappointed.

You need to go outside and play.

I don’t know how anyone could find offense in that.

There is absolutely no sexism in this tweet and it's not close to a bad look.

I literally said 'I'm not going to say it's offensive'.

Just not a good look.

Exactly.

We now live in a world where if I ask my girlfriend to make me a sandwich, some people get offended.
But, if she asks me to make her a sandwich...everything is fine.

You can't make this stuff up!

Males play field hockey too right? How is that sexist? The joke would have worked the same if our mens golf team won the NCAA championship.

I am outraged.

I bet somebody takes offense to this post

I think field hockey is only a women's sport at the DI level.

 

[BlueMAB]

Meh, thought it was a quality retort. Women or not, it's a niche sport followed by few fans. The comeback works for that reason alone.

If UConn Field Hockey is throwing shade at future UConn Men's Basketball opponents, then Husky Nation is strong. Everything is right with the world...

 

[Kitaman]

Wow UConn dissed them, and they responded (with class) and someone at UConn feels its not a good look for Oregon?

I'm sure the OP is a Millennial, without asking.

Yeah, not so much...

Looks like over reaction is not confined to one gender.

 

[UConnDan97]

Yeah, not so much...

Not so much on the shade-throwing, or not so much on the "everything is right in the world"? I admit, the latter could use some work...

 

[krinklecut]

Don't think it's sexist, but it's definitely a look when an official team twitter is dumping on other sports.

 

[UConnDan97]

I guess I need a little clarification.

Was the UConn Field Hockey team twitter the first to strike? It had the feel of someone responding to an earlier provocation...

That’s quite a stretch, this type of thought process is very confusing to me.

Both actually.

I appreciate FH going undefeated to win our 5th natty in that sport, but you just don't talk smack about it, or make it your handle.

As to everything is right in UConn nation, you know the list as well as I do.

Still, the PK80 will be a good measuring stick for us. Hopefully we surprise a few people but the guys are going need to step up their play to be able do it.

It is not the UConn Field Hockey team twitter and doesn't seem to be associated with UConn athletics. It is just a UConn fan's twitter account (twitter handle is @TheBigHop13 and his twitter display name is "UConn Field Hockey Appreciator")

I think I just got confused on this one. When I originally read it, I thought we were responding to a previous comment not shown (hence the "it's more like ___"). The tweet definitely has a different feel to it if it was unprovoked...

I find the offense of fencing offensive.

Sorry, just had to get that out. Carry on.
