SIAP: Jay Feely prom "controversy"
Former Michigan (and NFL) kicker Jay Feely took a prom picture in which he stood between his daughter and her date. No big deal, except Feely was holding a pistol as a joke. ("Take care of my daughter, or else.") Some people have made this into a serious offense during the recent gun debates.

I haven't seen this posted, and the Google search doesn't seem to be fully functional. So feel free to take it down if it was already posted.
What’s the over/under until this thread turns political and gets locked? As for “controversial photo” I just find it humorous.
I can relate to this. I got pretty "feely" with my prom date in the back of a limo.
was she also a clown?
I laughed.
This is going to turn political -- fast, unfortunately.
Was deleted yesterday.
Maybe it should just be locked in order to prevent more postings.
Sense of humor. It’s just life, nobody is getting out alive, calm down.
It’s a picture. If he were holding the gun to his head I would understand.
But if this were a former OSU player, would the sentiment be "how can someone be so tone deaf". The issue is social media. Why does everything have to be shared with every Tom, Dick, and Harry on social media? Once you do that, you allow criticism and scrutiny.
I think they deleted at least 2 yeasterday. Someone got triggered and needs a safe space.
triggered...i see what you did there
He also wasn't pointing the gun at anyone, and his finger was off the trigger
How long til this gets locked for political reasons.
I understand locking it.
I don't understand deleting it.
Deleting it says to me, "Let's try to cover up the fact that a Michigan Man did something slightly controversial with a gun."
Yeah, the mods are really concerned about the PR and trying to save face for the blog and university.
But while this post is still up, I’d add that this is no big deal IMO. Kinda funny to be honest. Edgy and promotes discussion.
But political nut jobs will be sure to end this thread soon.
People need to get over themselves. Demanding apologies for things you don't agree with is getting old.....
The adult equivalent to a child's temper tantrum for not getting their way.
I don't think people are demanding an apology from Jay, rather pointing and saying "what a tonedeaf jackass for thinking that's funny."
I am offensive by this!
He just posted a dumb dad joke for dumb dad joke appreciators.
Dad joke backlash at a new high.
I think we should expect more from a Michigan man. I'm always somewhat uncomfortable with the underlying psychology of these "Dads Against Daughters Dating" types. It's just creepy subconsciously. Just let it go Jay. You'd be better off handing the guy a box of rubbers, because you can be sure they're going to fuck, so they should at least be safe.
On the contrary, I think it's a necessary societal expectation that young men (and women) feel the pressure of others who are expecting them to behave responsibly. And nobody else in her life is going to exert that pressure other than the parents of that particular couple.
Kids want to "have fun." Parents don't want them to "have fun." I'm sure that fear staves off more than a few kids from doing things they shouldn't do, which probably results in preventing a few pregnancies and such.
I'm not saying it's 100% effective. Far from it. But I'm sure it's effective for some.
Idk, the "father as protector of his daughter's sexuality" says more about the father than about horny teens. Open and honest conversations are fun but that's not very manly I guess
I’m always somewhat uncomfortable with your type. I think we should expect more.
We can tell you are not a father. And certainly not of daughters. While I'm aware my daughters have sex. If you say to me that I should know my daughters are going to fuck in a crass manner I'll be triggered as much any democrat is by the Donald.
any daughters? what a foolish thing to post. some of us believe ladies actuallly have the ability and self control to know if/when it might be a good time to engage in relations. and guess what, 'marriage' is a great time to do so. train them up in the way that they should go, and when they get older they will not depart from it.
The picture doesn't bother me. The fact that it was posted to social media was a dumb move, though. This is one that you keep to yourselves as a family and chuckle about it.
I laughed.
The make and model? I blame Yosemite Sam.
but when you Tweet said joke, you're going to get every reaction under the sun
Jay for OC
His daughter and her boyfriend got the joke, and they are the two who get to decide how to best react to it.
"hey this guy is just using his gun for a joke calm down"
Using guns as a prop for Jay Feely is a joke.
The article says that it was a joke based off a scene in Bad Boys 2 (the linked clip in the article is hilarious, btw).
Calling attention to this only takes away from the larger issue (not to be discussed here, because of no politics). It's a joke.
Nothing to see here. It’s fine. It’s funny. It referenced a movie. People need to get a better grip on reality
