This guy is getting crucified...and rightfully so.

That dude has zero self awareness. What a tool.

 

[AlCoDog]

And for anyone who ever wanted a clear example of a douchebag, here you go. That's weird as hell to be upset about.

 

[Shmuley]

He looks a little old to be a 17n millenial, but he clearly has the mindset down.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

And he can't sing to boot

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Sounds like a quintessential entitled boomer to me.

 

[Shmuley]

Have yet to meet a millenial who recognized their ****** mindset. Self-centered pussies.

 

[Hoover Dawg]

Is there really a difference in boomers and millenials?

 

[Bcash2]

Other than the fact that...

Is there really a difference in boomers and millenials?

Boomers have set our country on a collision course with disaster, nah not really.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Can't say I'm suprised that he works in IT...

The millennial generation was born somewhere around 1981-1997 depending on your source... and that's a wide range to lump someone who is successful and in their 30s (or whatever age) with a whiny college student (not all of them are whiny or entitled, but the squeaky wheel gets the grease in the media). Just keep in mind, the millennials didn't raise themselves, they have the older generations to thank for that.

 

[Xenomorph]

Thought this was going to be another Freeze thread.

 

[aTotal360]

Thread Hijack: If Freeze does get a show cause, can you imagine all the martyrdom/crucifixion references that will be made?

 

[thekimmer]

He would be done if I was making the decision....

Because the predators were gracious enough to allow him to perform the anthem regularly he now feels like he's entitled to the job. He isn't. Lookit, he's an IT guy. Now genuine celebrity musicians have agreed to do the job so he should step aside and shut his mouth. This is not worth the hassle if I am in charge of this for the preds and I'd make sure nobody gets that comfortable doing this again.

 

[Dr. Funke.sixpack]

Probably because they haven't finished their rotation in the Helmand Province

 

[MarkDallas]

Minor clarification: he's not IT, he's IT recruiting. Which is just HR. And an HR professional should know better.

 

[HotMop]

Yeah, an HR guy should know a way to quickly get fired. Nailed it.

I'm sure Tony Romo would like to be still playing QB for the Cowboys too...

Being at the extreme end of the common age range, I refuse to identify with the term Millennial.

Date ranges by some groups-
1977-1997
1981-1997
1982-2004
1980-2000
1983-2000
1983-2001


I have read a couple times now that those born in the late 70s and early 80s(so call it 78-82) dont typically identify with either GenX or GenY(now called Millennial for whatever the **** reason). They are the Oregon Trail Generation. I would wear that badge with honor.

Anyways, just thought I would add you your overall comments. Agree that its dumb to lump a mid-late 30yo in with a 20yo college student and claim they share the same...anything due to an arbitrarily created segmentation of birth years.
Greatest Generation had the great depression, wars and suburban development to identify around.
Baby Boomers had a huge upkick in births, a rise of the counterculture leading, and Vietnam to identify around.
GenX has...a big void to identify around.
Not sure what those from 1978-2004(or whatever years you want to use) have to identify around. War on terror?

 

[CochiseCowbell]

For this Oregon Trail guy: I'd say we identify around the '89 World (Bay) Series Earthquake, '94 Baseball Strike, The Steroid Era...ok that's just my personal childhood.

Maybe the September 11th attacks?

Could the Gen Gappers be called the Windows/Apple II generation?

To the OP's point, of course the guy is disappointed. Who wouldn't be at first reaction? But, as others have stated he's so self unaware that he publicly bitches about it. In fact he may yet have still had a chance to sing one night, depending on how the series goes. Not now.

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

This prejudice mindset is one of the top reasons America has so many crime, family and inner city issues.

 

[Bulldogg31]

I thought the Oregon Trail generation all died of dysentery.

The internet. Or the iPhone. Or both.

 

[Dr. Funke.sixpack]

Between 65-70% of the veterans of OIF/OEF are millennials. So yea, you could say they identify with that.

 

[Hankp22]

Thought this was a political thread

Hey O!!!

Glad you liked...that was an awesome game.

 

[GloryDawg]

Is there really a difference in boomers and millenials?

One example when the Boomers got ready to go out as a teenager and they were not dress appropriately their parent would not let them go out. They had to sneak out if they wanted to go. The millienials parents said to them "oh how cute" then let them go. To go a step further Generation X parents split the middle. Generation X parents said, "you know if you wear that you are going to get you *** kicked" then they let them go out.

 

[boatsandhoes]

Oh yea. That must be it**

 

[EngDawg]

Back to the original topic, I didn't particularly care for Keith Urban's rendition last night.
