In a very interesting plot twist, it turns out the Washington Post op-ed writer who blasted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and called the use of the Buccaneers’ name “problematic” because it is “romanticizing ruthless cutthroats” has an interesting tattoo and selective outrage.
“While this celebration of piracy seems like innocent fun and pride in a local culture, there is danger in romanticizing ruthless cutthroats who created a crisis in world trade when they captured and plundered thousands of ships on Atlantic trade routes,” Jamie L.H. Goodall wrote in the Post op-ed.
Goodall, who received a PhD in history in Pirates in the Atlantic/Chesapeake/Caribbean from Ohio State University, says she can be found at the Maryland Renaissance Festival “dressed as my alter ego: Torienne, Ship’s Scholar of the crew Mare Nostrum,” according to her website.
“I drink and I know things,” she adds.
And she herself romanticizes pirates, as you would have seen on her Instagram account before it was deleted along with her Facebook page. Her Twitter page is still active, but it’s locked.
“It takes these murderous thieves who did terrible things – like locking women and children in a burning church – and makes them a symbol of freedom and adventure, erasing their wicked deeds from historical memory,” Goodall wrote for the Post. “These were men (and women) who willingly participated in murder, torture and the brutal enslavement of Africans and Indigenous peoples.”
It’s like Jamie didn’t think people would go looking into her past to see what her story is. There is no need to get into some philosophical battle with PhD nerds over this story. Let’s pretend we’re having garage beers here. Jamie clearly thinks it’s horrible that Tampa Bay uses Buccaneers as a nickname because her politics tell her it’s supposed to be bad, and when you’re woke there are no days off. You have to be fully outraged at all times, even if you have this as a shoulder tattoo.
Now Jamie will fade off into Internet history, and she’ll go back to romanticizing pirates. Her work here is done. Football teams aren’t allowed to romanticize pirates, but Jamie is.
‘It’s like Jamie didn’t think people would go looking into her past to see what her story is.’
Ok…now I’ll admit Joe has my #1 ranking as OK writer FWIW.
When a woman has a nose piercing, crooked smile, and a pirate tattoo there’s a 1000% increase she’ll be offended by the most random of things.
Also from the bowels of her intellect…
“These were men (and women) who willingly participated in murder, torture and the brutal enslavement of Africans and Indigenous peoples.”
…I’m sure she never did a deep dive on just which type of people were the pirate type. I’m sure she just assumed they were all white Europeans going on Africa trips.
Thank you Ray.
Yup, especially the last part.
The left has no sense of humor constantly unhappy and mad can’t build anything and constantly wants some offending object torn down,As for her make her walk the plank ugly on outside and inside.
So this Super aware Phd decries Buccaneers all while having a giant tattoo of a pirate on her shoulder. The pesky worldwide web strikes again. As always, awareness is great because you don’t actually have to do anything..
It’s an attention seeking contest with these people. Being ridden with against and offended every second of every day must be exhausting. So glad I’m not like that.
It appears these women can only get attention one of two ways…plastic themselves up on IG or be hypocritcally offended. Sad part is…it often works short term for attention. Just don’t marry those types.
Nose ring, fake hair color and a big old tattoo just scream Look at Me! Look at me! Look at me!
Yeah…I always tell the gals we don’t need you putting saline in your chest, having pink hair, shiny things on/in your face, or graffitti on your skin to notice you. Just look like a normal, healthy woman.
*angst
That’s right. It is why we need to ignore things like this and don’t give it/her/he/they/them the attention being sought.
What a skank. Looks like her 15 minutes is just about up.
Tick tick tick
Oh fuck me. Those problems never end. Those people need so much power they never stop. The world is over populated with those useless and joyless human beings.
Well the name DemocRat has connotations too. It signifies cutthroat vote rigging communist racist criminals.
Okay…not one single comment that someone can get a Ph.D. ….in Pirates? She is a shining light as to why taxpayers should not have to subsidize $50k student loan debt.
Exactly! This “writer” for the washington post is absolutely a ‘shining light,’ as you said. …Academia is a complete disgrace these days.
I learned in earning my post-graduate degrees that people can get masters and doctorate degrees in just about any subject the student chooses. The school will take a student’s money if they want to further their studies.
Lack of self awareness. Do these leftist humanoids ever stop?
I’ll lay you 8-5 that she’s burning coal to prove how non-racist she is…
I’ve had my PHD in pirate booty for some time now…..
