I'm uptight about this, sure. Is that a problem for you? You seem oddly uptight about defending misogynist jokes. I'd prefer to be uptight against misogynist jokes than on their behalf. Whether you're an unabashed misogynist or not I can't say. I don't know you. I don't exempt myself from manifesting misogyny at times. It's a deep part of the cultural matrix you and I live and breathe in. It's something I try to be mindful of in raising my daughter, and in interacting with women every day.
To your question, yes, I think it's possible to be a misogynist without making, laughing at, or commenting on "silly jokes."
All of that is beside the point. I do know that you're defending a misogynist joke in this discussion. I'm trying to discourage misogynist jokes on JazzFanz. I'd prefer people make the board more hospitable to the women who post here, and to people like me who are bothered by misogynist jokes. Hope you'll think about it and decide to help make the board more hospitable.
Oh look at that. More neg from CALJAZZFAN: "Here you. You're not very smart and you're quite uptight."
That's a lot of effort on your part to neg twice within a few minutes. And I'm the uptight one.
I agree. It's pretty damn ridiculous for fans who have no medical knowledge of toe injuries in general to assume Hill isn't tough or a competitor because of it.

Negative rep with this comment: "No. You don't pick on him?" Really? Are you allowed to negative rep someone because you think Lifeonaplate is being picked on? Is he (or she) not capable of sticking up for himself (or herself)?
If this was a one time thing I don't think people would say anything. But this has been a season long issue from a guy looking for a payday that will kill our cap. People want to see some toughness.

At this point the season is probably over. Hill and his 35 games of random injuries cost him millions of dollars.
Who ever signs him to a contract over 12 million a season would be signing a toxic contract.
Tonight I'd be willing to run a offense thru a point forward like Ingles or Hayward and see if that might work and run Exum as the 2 guard.

In isolation, it's true, and it might be serious (see Blake Griffin's toe issue, although he might be even more soft), but the general consensus about Hill being a big soft is because he has constant injuries like this.
Biggest ability is availability...

The toe is a recurring injury, it's not a new injury each time. His earlier injury this season was a sprained finger, and I think he had a sprained groin for a few games IIRC. He's not an iron man by any stretch, but he's played through difficult injuries this season. Calling him "soft" seems ill-informed. He's an aging guard putting a lot of miles on his body. That would be my concern. Not the notion that he's somehow a wimp.
