It is clearly no longer safe to be a sport's reporter these days. Due to sexism, the patriarchy, and misogyny making a comeback, women, along with trans-women and their effiminate male allies, are clearly no longer safe being sport's reporters. Arch Manning's repugnant joke hurting the feelings of Holly and irrelevant sport's reporters everywhere should serve as a wake-up call for our nation.
We can no longer rely on the maturity of college age men (and trans women) to keep sport reporter's safe - after all, they clearly value fun over feelings. AI industry leaders are already recognizing the danger of AI, but when AI can be used to depict violence against a sports reporter, which misogynistic men then call humorous online, we know we have to act.
This is a call for common-sense sport's reporting regulation.
While some are going to go hysterical and make emotional calls for us to Protect All Women, unfortunately such protections are banned by the 14th Amendment, due to our country's Patriarchal Constitution (or at least the illegitimate misogynistic conservative Supreme Court's interpretation of it)
Therefore we need to craft a regulation that is gender neutral and passes the disparate impact test (another imposition of our sexist and misogynistic supreme court).
I think industry leaders can come together and agree, that before any person becomes a football sport's reporter, they should at least go through a common sense regulatory process in order to be qualified. I suggest a two pronged test:
1. Either you get punched in the face, repeatedly, in real life or in a professional setting (MMA, boxing, or by another qualified professional body as defined by Congress, since this is an inter-state commerce issue), or
2. You serve for at least 4 years training playing the sport you intend to report on at either a college or professional level. Obviously for football that means you have to play football before you report on it, but the same would apply for any sport - hockey, tennis, swimming, etc.
If you pass such a test, then you can be issued a sport's reporting license.
Again, until more AI mockery takes place, it's probably premature to call for an outright ban on those disparately impacted by AI violence (women, trans-men, and their loyal male allies), but it is clear that we should have some common-sense regulation, at least until we can restore safety and sanity to the industry.
