Knockout Barstool March

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:20:00 +0100

I marched with KO Barstool last night. I wasn’t initially planning on it because I already had plans for that night (not the Barstool Blackout Party), but my plans changed short notice. When I left Stetson East after dinner though, the first protesters were there, and there were women and men standing in the front, telling their stories. I was immediately drawn in. First I just stood there and watched in silent solidarity, I was planning on going back to my dorm when they left because I was having someone over that night and still had some cleaning up to do. But after one survivor brought me to tears saying that she felt like she got a big piece of herself back tonight, I knew it would be wrong to leave. So I marched with them. And I felt so good about it. It made me happy to be in a group of people who took me seriously, because sadly, I have not been getting the support I would want from my guy friends. I know that deep down, they understand me and most likely agree with me on this topic, they are good guys. But they just tend to shrug it off and joke about it, and it was starting to really frustrate me that I could not talk to them about this.

There were a few individuals I heard insulting the girls attending barstool, calling them whores and saying they had no self respect. This sheds bad light on the movement. Please, everyone who supports KO Barstool, refrain from such behavior if you want the movement to be taken seriously.

Northeastern Students warned to stay indoors Sunday or face arrest.

Does anyone else think this is going a bit too far? I understand that they want us to be safe, but what gives them the right to arrest us if we, as adults, choose to stay outside at our own risk and celebrate the superbowl peacefully?

http://www.universalhub.com/2012/northeastern-students-warned-stay-indoors-sunday

The anxiety around the city - stay inside! When Boston sports teams were in previous championships, people took to the streets. Some were just walking around to hug or high-five other excited Bostonians, some were cheering – but there was also significant rioting and excessive consumption of alcohol/drugs. This was true surrounding Boston college campuses as well. Near Fenway Park, a college student died tragically during a riot following the World Series in 2004. As a result, the Boston and Northeastern University Police Departments have asked us to keep people inside as much as possible. We don’t believe that NU students will behave that way, but do we want you to be safe - being swept into such a crowd is dangerous because you don’t have control of the decisions of others and the mood of the crowd can turn without warning. If you do choose to go outside during or after the Superbowl, know that you will likely be questioned and directed to go somewhere indoors as quickly as possible. If you refuse, you are subject to immediate arrest. Since an arrest could have serious consequences with OSCCR, for co-ops & jobs you apply for later, and your visa status if you are an international student …just stay inside!

All because of you, Tim McIlrath, I believe in angels. Thank you for restoring my faith in humanity tonight. I absolutely adore everything Rise Against stands for. These guys are angels. Not the kind with wings or halos.

hayleysworldoflights:

Commenters on Barstool Sports have already posted the personal information of Knockout Barstool members, along with rape threats.

Today, however, they have reached a whole new level. They have dredged through and posted numerous personal photos of members and their families, and even made rape threats towards members’ families. This is disgusting.

Northeastern MUST take action to protect its students!!!!!

The following was written by a nineteen-year-old woman and sophomore at Northeastern University.

If you are not outraged, then you are not paying attention.

Hi, everyone. I am a sophomore at Northeastern University.

As many of you may have heard, the Northeastern Barstool Blackout Tour is…

I haven’t posted in ages, I know. I was really busy with my internship and all and then just completely forgot about this thing here. But due to recent happenings I’ve decided to start posting again.

So I am now settled in in Boston, I live in a freshman dorm with my wonderful roomie Molly. I love my major, I love my professors (most of the time). I love the city life, I love a lot about living here. But there’s one thing that I hate. And this one thing is the reason why I decided to start blogging again, because my rants about this were no longer welcome on Facebook. This might lose me a few followers, but I think it will also gain me some. And I’m not doing this for the publicity anyway, I’m doing it to have a place to vent my feelings and maybe get some feedback from others who feel the same.

The thing I have come to hate more than anything is the way women are treated here. And the way many women let themselves be treated. All those classless, sleazy woo girls out there who willingly let themselves be degraded by men to get attention are just reinforcing this behavior. This is what I’m talking about:

http://boston.barstoolsports.com/m/random-thoughts/reader-email-this-chick-hates-ko-barstool-wants-to-fuck-feitlberg-and-write-for-us-what-do-the-stoolies-think/

I spent 13 years as a foreigner in Germany, a country that has a history of racism and hatred. And not once did I feel discriminated because of my nationality. Well, except that one time, you might remember my rant about my friend who said “You know I’m not racist, but….” and then began to tell me that she thinks that Germans should BY LAW get first pick at jobs and foreigners should have to wait in line. Except for that, never ever ever did I feel inferior or suppressed. Now I’m in THE country that prides itself on treating everyone equally, and I feel discriminated for being a woman. I never thought of myself as much of a feminist, I guess I just took the way my gender was treated with dignity and respect in Germany for granted.

I don’t have the energy to go on a whole rant right now, I’ve done it too much these past couple days and thinking about this topic just makes me so frustrated and has driven me to tears as well because I can’t believe what is happening around me. But there will be rants coming up and I thought it would be fair to warn you so you can unfollow if you so wish. I gave you a chance to leave, don’t come complaining about it later.

A little update

Sun, 12 Jun 2011 10:52:00 +0200

Hello everyone, sorry I haven’t posted much lately but I was soooo busy with my internship, which was absolutely amazing, by the way. I know I promised I’d write about my break up, so here it is…

While I was on my senior trip to Greece I didn’t miss Flo much. He kept sending me messages and I was really annoyed by that. I thought when I got home and saw him again everything would go back to normal and it was just a phase because I was having so much fun in Greece.

Well, needless to say, that wasn’t the case. I get home and he drops by. I open the door and there he is. With a new hair cut. This may sound strange that this is such a big deal for me. The thing is, Flo has the nasty habit of getting his hair cut everytime I’m on vacation. And not telling me, or not sending me a picture. So I come back and there’s a whole different guy picking me up at the airport. It just takes me a few days to get used to this new guy. Usually. Usually I miss him like crazy when I’m on vacation and can’t wait to see him again, but this time that wasn’t the case. I was hoping that seeing him again would make everything go back to normal, but it didn’t. Cause he was different.

I went out a lot with some people I got closer with in Greece. Flo was really pissed because I never felt like hanging out with him, which I completely understood. But I really just didn’t feel like hanging out with him. Not one bit. And I didn’t want to force myself to want to hang out with him.

The week before I broke up with him was wonderful. Everything was back to normal. But then he started to talk about booking his flight to visit me on Thanksgiving. And that started to make me worry again. Should I let him book his flight and hope for the best? A few days later, he shows up at my house with a ring.

Not an engagement ring. I always made it very clear that I do not want to get engaged before we move in together, cause I just think that so much can change when you’re together 24/7. But it was a very expensive ring. And I knew I couldn’t accept it if I wasn’t sure if I could stay in this relationship much longer.

So I told him I couldn’t accept it. A 2 hour conversation with tons of tears followed. Yeah. Sucks.

But I’m okay now. I’m great actually.

Nothing has irritated me more about this album than people writing about “ScheiBe” or “Schiebee” or whatever else they’re coming up with.

I am the type of person who starts to tear up because of high frustration.

what’s wrong?

Broke up with my boyfriend on Saturday after almost 4 years. For many reasons. I’ll write about them sometime soon, just don’t feel like it now.

I said I'd never walk away, but I'm not able to stay.

It's been a while...

Sun, 15 May 2011 11:33:04 +0200

…so here’s a little update.

My senior trip to Greece was absolutely amazing. It just might have been the funnest 10 days of my life, definitely the drunkest 10 days of my life. I met amazing new people and got closer to some people who I’ve known for years but never really hung out with. It was great. I want to go back.

My grandparents (all 4 of them, mother’s and father’s side) came to visit for my graduation. I’ll tell you, that was exhausting. I don’t know if it’s just my grandmother or if all grandmothers do this. But my grandmother would spend her day commentating everything I did. “Oh, so she got up now. Oh, I see, she’s making breakfast. Oh look at her she’s going to take a shower!” Kind of glad that they’re all gone now.

Tomorrow my internship starts. You might remember from an earlier post, I’m going to be working with people who have suffered from a stroke, a brain tumor or who had an accident that caused any kind of brain damage. Most of them are in wheelchairs and have lost certain abilities. The ward I’m going to be working in is responsible for a) helping them get used to the fact that they might never be able to use their legs/talk… anymore and b) helping them try to regain these abilities. I am so psyched!

Am I the only person out there who realizes that killing Bin Laden isn’t all good? Isn’t anyone thinking about the consequences that will have for the world?
