Victory Parade Thread (Saturday, April 8, 2023 @11:30a)

For those that weren't there that was the front of the shirt. The back had "Yeah B.... I'm a Husky". The guy selling them at the turn from Bushnell Park to Trumbull Street had the sales pitch "Get your back to school shirts". Most people were laughing and younger males were buying. Did not see any females going for them.

Plenty of women had that shirt. They still wanted $25 for them at 3:30.

Yeah, I only saw two people wearing it. One was a teenage girl, and the other was an adult woman.

There was a guy wearing one when Kevin Nathan decided to interview him on the NBC CT live stream of the parade.

The front of the shirt was clear as day & I couldn’t believe he or anyone else didn’t have the presence of mind to get him off the screen.

They cut away pretty quickly when the guy dropped an F-bomb during the interview.

Oof, Ned really stepped in it here...

No, he didn't. It was a minor gaffe. A gaffe being when a pol says the truth out loud.

Yes he did. Radio interview and he probably let his guard down but it's not his place to say that in any sort of public setting. Especially to a city who are your gracious hosts and where a whole bunch of positive stuff for your state has happened.

He knew he was wrong and apologized.
