The keyword “michael jordan daytona 500” is currently trending due to Michael Jordan’s involvement in the recent Daytona 500 race, where his driver, Tyler Reddick, celebrated a significant victory. This event has garnered attention not only for the win but also for Jordan’s public presence at the race, as he is a minority owner of the racing team 23XI Racing, highlighting his connection to the sport.
Recent news articles have reported on the mixed reception of Jordan’s post-race celebration. Specifically, a Yahoo Sports article details backlash Jordan faced for a moment during the celebration that involved a child, which spurred discussions among fans and media. Such a notable incident involving a global sports icon in a high-stakes event like the Daytona 500 is bound to attract significant search interest.
Moreover, the coverage of the celebration and subsequent criticism was further amplified by other media sources, such as The Sun, which reported on fans expressing their dissatisfaction with Jordan’s actions during the event. This combination of a celebrated sports victory and a moment that drew controversy contributes to the high volume of searches, as audiences seek to understand the implications of Jordan’s behavior and its reception.

Is everything just pedophiles?  Edit: Calm down folks. It’s just the internet.

Oops all pedophiles!

Pedophiles all the way down

I guess this was that trickling down that Reagan was talking about. Except apparently it was pedophiles and not money.

More like tickling down…

That was fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

As a woman, that was once a young girl. This shit is so common. I didn’t know any woman who hasn’t gone through some grown man getting too handsy like this when we were young. So much so that we had the word handsy and not assault to describe the behavior.

My grandmother once laughed through a story about her boss (she was a school secretary) locking her in his office and trying to kiss her. To her it was a cute story about her standing firm in rejecting a man’s advances. When asked what my grandfather said… “Oh, I couldn’t tell him. He’d have killed the guy” My great grandparents “meet cute” was him kidnapping a 13 year old and telling her that because they crossed state lines he’d go to jail if she didn’t marry him…. I don’t think we realize just how bad things were because they were just expected…
F
My grandparents also had a meet cute at a dance. (1940s) Apparently, her friends took her keys so she couldn’t leave and had to spend time with him, they had dated briefly and broke up. I’m like wtf is wrong with her girlfriends for trapping her with her ex. My whole family would recall this story as if it was fucking cute 🤢

This is some “because of the implication” shit

Of course nothing would happen……but it’s the implication

Makes me think of a friend I had in high school. Freshman year she was hooking up with a 18 year old. One day his friend was with him and eventually she locked him and me in her room. Legit tied a rope around the door to another door so I couldn’t open it. Inside he made me give him oral to get out. I ended up dating him because he was always around with that other dude and it was easier to go along with it. At 14 you don’t see how messed up it is that a friend does that. I did end the friendship when we were at her friends house and they went to smoke pot in the basement. I was super straight laced and stayed upstairs. Her friends huge boyfriend came up, picked me up (I was 4’9″ and 90 lbs), carried me down with all the smoke. I ran up the steps and the door was locked. I broke to get out and left her there.
C
Well, all of that is terrible. Hopefully you learned to trust people again and made actual good friends. But I’d fully understand if you just decided to be more of a loner.
N
wtf is a meet cute
W
Yeah my grandpa left his family of 5 when he met my grandma who was like 18. She even said we were on a date “and then he raped me that night. But I love him” she stayed with him for 50 years
Y
Different, but it reminds me of my ex-gf’s grandparents talking about how one of their brothers went out one day and just never came back (he was 13-16). The grandma laughed it off as him running away from home……..

My next door neighbor used to give me shoulder massages. He was a 52 year old man. Now that I’m older, I realized just how weird it was and how that’s absolutely NOT normal. It still gives me the ick thinking about it now. Edit: Friends, I wish I could wrap you all in massive hugs. I hate to see that we’ve all gone through similar experiences in our childhoods. If you ever need to vent, feel free to swing into my DMs.

My music teacher in elementary used to show us boys a lot of attention. When we’d be practicing he’d walk up behind us and put his hands on our shoulders and squeeze. Sometimes keeping them there for awhile. And then he would pick 2 people (exclusively boys, it was never a girl) each class and call them his “special listeners” and then hold our hand while he drew a music note on the back of the “special listeners” hand and then his initials next to it. At the time I never thought anything of it but as I got older I started to realize maybe something else was on his mind. He basically was “branding” his favorite little boys.

I have a very similar story except it was a male gym teacher in elementary school who would “let” the girls massage his shoulders & back instead of participating in gym class. He would pick 2 girls to do this every class & give them money for soda afterwards.

I 28F remember one day driving past a house with my mom (47F) and she so casually said “oh yea I was molested under a trampoline at that house. The woman there used to babysit us and her 19 year old son was a creep” and I just stared at her like what the fuck. She was like “different time back then” I was like no. Just less believable as time goes on.” I was also assaulted by my ex step sister (1 year older) at my father’s house and when I told and he was informed he called me “a fucking liar” to my face anf told me I was “just trying to ruin his marriage”. His ex wife cheated and left him. This video just goes to show people will turn their heads majority of the time if its someone famous. EDIT: Clarification

As a woman, that was once a young girl whose parents couldn’t understand why their 3yo daughter would cry when they set up water play outside in her front yard, men leering and groping is pervasive and it starts really fucking young.

This is so disgusting and makes me sick to think of all of the women like yourself that endured this. As a male I have never understood the thought process of other males who see this as acceptable or even their right. As a child and teenager I came from a broken home and watched my mother get abused and I was mentally abused, but nothing physical…at least not sexual. I was beaten though.
P
> all of the women like yourself that endured this It’s literally every single one of us, whether we were old enough to remember it or not. First time an adult man hit on me I was 7, I was uncomfortable but I didn’t know what was happening. First time an adult man hit on me and I realized what he was trying to do I was 12. I appreciate your empathy for us and I’m sorry for what you went through too. I see a lot of men on Reddit who are just *so angry* that they feel like they can’t hit on women in public or that women get scared and cross the street when they’re following behind. It’s because of things that started happening to us when we were 5.
P
And this is why I dont put shit in my front yard.
V
Just realised that I kept being pinched and slapped on the butt and the grown ups kept calling me sensitive for freaking out everytime. It’s like a memory unlocked like wow no wonder I hate going first up stairs.
I
We know this happens to women… but we also know it’s massively under reported in young men. It’s quite frustrating to hear whataboutism and one upping in this context because the specifics are very different for young boys, and that matters, because they are significantly less likely to report this behaviour and much less likely to be taken seriously. I’m sure you didn’t mean it that way, but there are better ways to relate to victims then to shift the conversation to a different demographic. A young boy can find it next to impossible to talk to anyone, let alone have a common vocabulary for this kind of experience, so I can’t help but taken your comment as somewhat insensitive. Sorry.

When I was a little boy, I went to a barber who rubbed his dick on me. My hand was on the armrest and he rubbed up on it and just stayed there rubbing on me. At the time, I was afraid to move my hand or say anything, because I didn’t want to embarrass him. It’s probably 40 years later, and I still get flashbacks.
I
That’s so gross, I’m sorry that happened to you. This is why all kids should be educated on these things, but parents, and probably dad’s in particular need to do a better job at educating their sons. Like my dad wasn’t even there, back then he was a good guy, probably would have been a good dad, but he wasn’t there, and it’s normally the dad’s that are absent. Not that mother’s can’t teach boys, but you get my point.
M
Yeah. When I was young boy my aunt would would whistle at me and tell me ” if you were little older id have my way with you, you’re so handsome.” I was probably like 7 years old. I got pinned down and molested by some older girls at a day care around that age too. I still remember her name.
T
Also a woman who was once a young girl, I can vividly remember being very young and I ran and jumped into a friend of my parents arms(a man) to hug him(I was like 7) and my grandpa gave me a huge lecture about not jumping into men’s arms, even if they are friends. I didn’t know it then but that was such a valuable talk he had with me that day.
F
Absolutely. I also started getting called Jail Bait at age 8. It’s horrifying being a girl/woman.
D
What’s crazy is many men refuse to admit to it too. When I was a boy, so many men and boys grabbed me inappropriately that by the time I was a 16 year old and my 40 year old manager grabbed my penis, I didn’t do anything except punch him in the arm. Should’ve fucking sued. Instead I worked with him for years and was sexually harassed by him for years. I’m in my forties now and the thought of doing that to a teenager is horrifying. This shit has always been normalized. It’s why guys like Cuomo say shit like, “I just grew up in a different era.” These older generations have never believed in bodily autonomy, especially for children. They did whatever the fuck they wanted to us then were like “what’s the big deal?” when being held to account for it. The Epstein files don’t surprise me. Of course they’re all fucking corrupt. Our entire society is corrupt. Top to bottom. I’m tired of pretending it isn’t.
L
As a grown ass man I apologize for all of us. I know it can never be enough, some of us would never.
S
As a man who was brought up around women, I was shocked to hear as I was growing up how common it was for women to suffer some sort of SA. All my sisters, my mother, aunties, best friends all of them at some point experienced it and still experience it.
I
I’m sure there’s a perfectly rational non-pedophilic reason to repeatedly grab a little boy’s butt… I just can’t think of it right now.

Is the dow past 50k?
