@sip_central So wouldn’t there have been written documentation that Ferris State submitted to the conference and/or NCAA seeking to obtain a redshirt on his behalf for the 2022 season?

[Alex Cochran @Cochterror]

@jeremy_pos43246 Is this an NCAA being rigid over eligibility requirements for a player transferring between divisions case or a future CFL player wanting to earn millions by playing another year in college case?

[Alex Cochran @Cochterror]

@jeremy_pos43246 Where’s the documentary evidence of a contemporaneous redshirt request/application plus the result of same from the conference and/or NCAA?

[Alex Cochran @Cochterror]

@TheStevenWillis I think you mean Tom Mars is. The key is what contemporaneous documentation Ferris State submitted in applying for redshirts. Not seeing a lot of references to that. Why not?

@PlayOffJimmy_ @Crenshawboys1 Joe Jamail bankrupted Texaco over interfering in a what was then a handshake deal. The contract talking point (asserted w/out evidence) is a dumb one.

@2020riggedAF @truth_payne @realJennaEllis @grok Let’s set aside the fact that we didnt agree on rules/parameters before discussing. Is that not a reasonable inference based on their tweets/replies to tweets/writings, etc?

[Alex Cochran @Cochterror]

@2020riggedAF @truth_payne @realJennaEllis @grok Pointing out that it’s a fake term being used as an insult by people with bad intentions is something I do in the hopes that I never see this term on my timeline. But maybe I’m jousting at windmills.

[Alex Cochran @Cochterror]

@2020riggedAF @truth_payne @realJennaEllis @grok The usage of this term (especially by Lindsay and others who have adopted it) has been to insult people they don’t like and don’t want to have a voice in the political process/marketplace of ideas.

@2020riggedAF @truth_payne @realJennaEllis Your dictionary query supports the term of art contention. “Woke right” has no objective definition.

Since this isn’t an “accuracy” discussion, it is of critical importance to determine if Lindsay’s ideas are credible or can be disregarded entirely.

[Alex Cochran @Cochterror]

@2020riggedAF @truth_payne @realJennaEllis Who was the first person to use it? When? Why?

What was the first dictionary to include it? When? What was the dictionary’s lexographical reason for doing so?

[Alex Cochran @Cochterror]

@2020riggedAF @truth_payne @realJennaEllis If a random person wants to come up with a word/definition of the word, they are welcome to do so.

In turn, the person’s credibility and motivations are in play as the rest of us decide whether to accept the word/definition.

[Alex Cochran @Cochterror]

@2020riggedAF @truth_payne @realJennaEllis It’s not defined in a dictionary. It has no long term history of common usage.

No one was using “woke” and “right” together until he was.

This leads to a lot of “why” questions. And questions about motivations.

[Alex Cochran @Cochterror]

@2020riggedAF @truth_payne @realJennaEllis We’re discussing defining a term. Pointing out that James Lindsay created it and that it’s a fake word/a “term of art” is highly relevant to that discussion. As is his motivation for doing so.

[Alex Cochran @Cochterror]

@2020riggedAF @truth_payne @realJennaEllis It’s a fake term that James Lindsay made up to attack people he (or his sponsors) don’t like.

It’s currently en vogue as a slur by people seeking to regain control of the right post-Trump.

[Alex Cochran @Cochterror]

@Scavacini777 @ronin21btc I think it’s one of the Girltalk mashups that were popular circa 2010.

@wajacobson How do you get there from one podcaster interviewing another?

This kerfuffle came about because there are competing internal GOP factions competing for power. Expressing fake outrage over an interview was a method of attacking the opposition.
