Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy! [Reply]

Exactly. She didn't even get shut down so much as trampled over. Couldn't get fucking string of 3 words together before one of the dipshits talked over her. [Reply]

I work for a very, very large recognizable tech company, and one of the biggest takeaways from my last 3 years has been dude's need to :-) sometimes and be respectful.
I shut that shit down on my team, and had to institute a hand-raise process for a few months because the interruptions were so bad, and some of the really, really smart women on our team couldn't get a goddamned word in edge-wise.
Had to have 1x1's with some of the loudmouth guys and would play back the audio from our meeting and have them point out to me how many times they interrupted, and interrupted women. There were some uncomfortable discussions, but now everyone is super respectful.
This video just gave me PTSD.
Hah - I made my comment before I even read your post. [Reply]

I always say you know people who dont know anything about the QB position but try to sound like they do talk extensively about footwork. [Reply]

I work in tech, so that shit is way worse. I've never tolerated it. If your a women in tech, beyond the entry level stuff, you know your shit. Cant say that about males. Maybe 25% of the time a women's input is accepted as authoritative. The rest of the time, until one of us males agree with her approach, shes paddling upstream. It's completely ridiculous. [Reply]
