  • This is a different thing because Dale apparently used a picture of this kid who died with cancer to mock opposing fans, but I will say I do know people whose humor hits different because of histories like that. Like I was watching an event on TV with someone else and a similar story to Bradley Lowery came on - they turned to me and were like “dying of cancer? Jesus Christ, what a pussy.” Which was hilarious in the moment but also because I knew they’d had cancer before and their life was very much disrupted because of the death of someone they loved of cancer when they were a child.

    Obviously, the big difference between these two situations is the audience and the intent. I don’t mean to say that Dale wasn’t being a complete dickhead. But sometimes, the more personal it is to someone, the more likely they are to make those comments.
