Back in the good ol' days you couldn't show a married couple in the same bed, couldn't show a toilet on TV or an album cover, say the word pregnant, or show Elvis' swiveling hips for fear of mass-hysteria. But yes, now people are super offended about stuff.
Hell, when I was a kid Mortal Kombat, the Simpsons, and Beavis & Butthead were going to usher in the apocalypse. People have always been thin-skinned. With that being said, Jim Turner is a jackass and if the Steelers hired him we'd be laughing at what filthy jerks they are. I hope he's good at his job here, because he sure hain't winning any personality points.
Back then, you wouldn't see a sportscaster lose his job because he made a joke about Elvis' hip-swiveling or Mortal Kombat. That's the difference between today's thin skin and yesteryear's.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
