Massport Removes TV From Limo Driver Waiting Room Because 1 Chick Out Of 30 Guys Was Sick Of Watching Sports

Bostonherald – Logan limo jockeys blew a fuse after Massport decided yesterday to yank a popular TV from their waiting room — a move sparked after a female driver complained the mostly male bullpen was hogging the tube and watching nothing but sports. “What a (expletive) thing to do,” driver Geoffrey Blake of Portsmouth, N.H., said “They should show some backbone and recognize most of the people there want to see sports, and allow them to watch it. If one person wants something different, he or she should find a way of watching it. It’s a terrible decision on their part.” Massport spokesman Matthew Brelis — whose agency is still red-faced after a fire drill spewed black smoke from Logan International Airport on the anniversary of Sept. 11 — defended the TV edict, calling it “the simplest, easiest solution.”

The dustup dates back to early June, when about a dozen drivers, waiting in the lounge for their fares to land, were watching the Chicago Blackhawks play the Los Angeles Kings in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Driver Jack White recalled the game was in the second period when “all of a sudden, the channel changes.” “We turned around and there’s a lady … she’s got the clicker,” White said. “She says, ‘You guys have been watching sports for three hours. I want to watch something else.’?” She changed it to “some talk show or something,” he said. “We were certainly not happy. As I thought about it later, I said this lady has a lot of stones, boy, I’ll tell you. There’s 12 guys in here who are outraged,” White said. “One of the guys says later, ‘We should have called the troopers and charged her with disturbing the peace.’ It was playoff hockey.“You don’t take the clicker away from one guy,” White said, “Let alone 12.” Another driver, Milton Braxton, said he explained that the TV decision should go to the majority. She said, ‘I still don’t want to watch the game,’?” Braxton, 59, said. “Needless to say, she’s about as welcome as a skunk at a lawn party,” said White, who drives limos to Logan on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. As for Massport’s decision to remove the TV, he said: “It was probably the same guy who made the decision to have the fire drill. There’s an old saying — common sense isn’t very common. And they’re proving that point.”

I laughed out loud like 3 times during this story. I love the guy who said they should have called the State Troopers and had this chick locked up for disturbing the peace when she changed the channel from playoff hockey. He’s fucking right too. Just a hilarious story from top to bottom. And how about the decision to remove the TV because 1 chick out of 20 guys doesn’t want to watch sports? Bizarro world indeed. I mean chicks shouldn’t be allowed to have the clicker even if they are the only person in the room nevermind if they are in a room full of dudes. So much for democracy I suppose.

PS – Maybe the most surprising part of this story is that this female limo driver doesn’t like sports in the first place.  Like what type of weirdo chick is a limo driver, hangs out with 20 dudes in a waiting room, and doesn’t watch sports?  f you’re gonna have a butch dyke job and basically be a dude you got to like sports and hockey and shit.
