TD_washingtonredskins Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I think there's a huge difference with job security when you compare having a political opinion and saying something racist. Granted, you can get fired for anything. But EB or Czaben having an opinion on Covid is vastly different than Dukes being a racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Obviously an awful choice of words on his part and it probably is a direct reflection into how he really thinks. Others have said worse and get to do the whole apology thing. I'd imagine they just want out of his contract. Which is fair, because he's awful and I've never understood how on earth he became worthy of his own show to begin with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I don't know what he said, but let's be honest... Dude nails a TON of just plain bad stereotypes. Always has. I'm surprised that this is what did him in though. This pandemic really has shined a lot on who exactly you're dealing with with this "Angry Guy/ White Guy radio" stuff. When they can't talk sports, things get difficult 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always interesting to hear your suspicions about someone confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it had something to do with Gac trying to get a job with 106.7, and Dukes doing something to shaft him out of getting a spot, followed by slander levied by Dukes. Something along those lines.

Heisenberg Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Ah, thanks guys. My curiosity got the best of me and I managed to locate the old thread. Funny to see AIM and Myspace mentioned as recent methods of communications. It seems Dukes was just as quick with the block button on AIM as he is on Twitter. 😂 I miss some of the old ES personalities that have disappeared over the years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't claim to know anything about what's in a person's heart but I stopped listenging to Chad Dukes a long time ago (pre-RG3) for his sensitivity and anger towards callers. EB has some views I disagree with but he's a lot easier on the callers and easier to talk to, and honestly apart from his political views probably my favorite guy on that show, at least the only one that has personality. And what's funny about EB right now is that 1 year ago now when this COVID stuff was just bearking, HE was the one who was sounding the alarm and trying to stay calm about it but semi freaking out. Then suddenly he flipped a switch and is super calm and laughing about it. I stopped listening about 8 or 9 months ago though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Nothing like kicking a guy when he’s down. If the “wrong skin tone” or whatever comment it was that got him fired then it’s bull****. He wasn’t calling people of color the wrong skin type rather he was referring to racists as people who don’t like people with the wrong skin type. There HAS to be more to it, cause that was a ball of nothing. And of course, the amount of vitriol in this thread kinda matches what he was talking about in that very segment. Dude lost his career and all you all can do is pile on and get mad at him cause he blocked you on social media. Also sports talk radio ****ing blows and people who obsess about it are losers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spjunkies Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I'm more than open to hearing his side, **** I listened to Craig Carton's return to wfan yesterday and he hooked me back in with his apology and explanation of things. I'm a sucker for a good redemption story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a hint: It wasn't the "bad skin tone" comment that did him in. It was the ignorant, bigoted stereotypes he listed off that did it. It was that ignorance that put the "bad skin tone" comment in bad context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I so wish I could find the Cameo that the Junks Producers did that showed the two stages to EB - beginning and then "middle" phase of Covid. It was so spot on and true. Brilliant Cameo. Really funny. Never listed to Chad. Just wasn't my cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
