He loves it.This is true and one of the drawbacks to being a public figure. It sucks but on the other side of the coin Carlson has made a lot of money and I am sure he has fans that love him.
That said I think the guy confronting him is being a jerk. Carlson is not going to change because some yokel in a tackle shop is harassing him.
I suppose he might get a kick out of telling Tucker off but in the end he came off looking worse than the guys he despises.
Which is why I would never approach a public figure and wouldn't encourage it. But hey, if someone else wants to make a fool of themselves, this is a good way to do it. Didn't make a scene, no yelling, and based solely on the video he said his piece and that was the end of it.This is true and one of the drawbacks to being a public figure.

Dan Bailey is a pretty big name in the fly fishing industry......I just assumed it was THE Dan Bailey......that's too much of a coincidence....something is fishy with this
Nope! Not planning on it either.Joe Bryant said:
65% agree that this is not cool or awful. As far as polls go in this place, this is a landlside
The (as of now) 32% who are either cool with it or encourage it. Thought it would be a tiny number of troll types here.
I very much suspect the majority of that group are trolling. I also suspect that, given this isn't a public poll, those folks tend to lean right on the political scale.
This.
Does the player or ref have a family member in attendance?
If we're talking from the stands or from the comfort of my home: I don't think there's a comparison.
Some thoughts, in no particular order:
No, I don't think it is the same. But would you have any problem if this man just walked over to Tucker and 'BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD' him? That might be better shtick than this staged encounter. Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de3WWGCK4N0
The player has family in attendance but you don't know where they sit. The player has just committed some sort of Tucker Carlson level BS and like Carlson, deserves the booooooooooing for his voluntary actions. The family member is of unknown gender, just like all the athletes competing in women's sports now thanks to Biden. They prefer gardening to fishing.
This is probably the most important point. A lot of people feel it's so blatantly obvious how horrible Tucker is that it's above question. And since they feel that way, it's ok to behave this way towards him.
If he keeps his distance and boo's, no.
I thought the guy was uncomfortably close. I would not someone who is telling me how awful I am that close to me. I would in fact worry that they’re standing that closely because perhaps they are planning on striking or harming me.
He should hold a press conference and apologize.
You don't speak to someone in public with their child until the child is 25 years old, everyone knows that.
This has become the old standby.
Are we sure that this guy isn't a Tucker fan? Are we sure that Tucker wasn't part of the planning?
I mean, I agree 100% this was about going viral and getting facetime.
If the cloven hoof fits, then fill up the slop bucket.
From those gosh darn evil Republicans.
I'd like to make a motion that we accept the boooooooing of people who do not tip at a restaurant. Can I get a second?
Do me a favor, stop using the word 'evil' when discussing how I refer to the GOP. I am sure there are people on here who called them that, but I have not.
I agree with this except I'm not sure that actually disagreeing with him was a requirement for his goal. Yes, he needed to be disagreeable in the video for his goal of convincing people like us to watch*, but odds to me are about the same as to whether the "disagreeable" part was or was not part of the act.
I agree with this. It was his ADULT daughter. So there were only adults present during this low-key, too-close-for-comfort-get-out-of-my-face telling someone how they feel about them. No yelling, no pushing. A few seconds of "I don't like you" and it was over.
Once, when bartending at a fairly posh place, a guy with a smoking hot date stiffed me on his dinner tab. Unfortunately for him, I had given my notice, and it was my 2nd to last shift.
