Popular UK comic scoffs at being canceled, says no one cares unless you've ‘done something really awful'
English comedian Harry Hill said he doesn't really wince at the idea of being canceled in an interview published Monday. Speaking to UK outlet The Times, Hill — whose real name is Matthew Hall — talked about how so many people are canceled for politically incorrect things these days that it almost doesn't matter. "I've had friends who have been 'canceled.' They worry about it. But on the whole, unless they've done something really awful, everyone has forgotten about it," he said. Hill has been a stand-up comedian since 1992 and the host of various British TV shows, including "Harry Hill's TV Burp," a three-time BAFTA TV award-winning program that aired from 2001 to 2012. On the topic of cancel culture, the veteran comic added that there are "so many people being canceled every day; it's like a build-up of bodies." Like other modern-day comics, Hill has had to navigate an era when audiences are more prone to being offended by jokes or public statements made by celebrities. "Audiences are more alert to the idea that they might be offended," the comic told The Times. "Certain words or things make them anxious. They're thinking, 'Oh no, I hope he's not going to say something that we will need to be offended by.'" Though Hill told the outlet that being canceled is not a huge deal, he did note he tries to avoid offending people as much as he can, adding that he lets his kids help him figure out what's too far in his comedy material. "My kids pick me up on stuff – they say, 'No, you can't say that, Dad.' Which is helpful, because you don't want people to be offended," he said. Though Hill has made a successful showbiz career for himself, he says he has tried to keep his kids out of the industry. "I kept my kids away from the TV studio and showbiz. I didn't want them going into it just because it looked glamorous or fun. The truth is, for any success in this game you've got to be very pushy," he said. "They've come with me on the road for my most recent tour. It's been interesting for them to see what it involves: a lot of time spent on the North Circular and eating sandwiches." Other comics have rejected the idea of cancel culture in recent months. During an interview in April, "Scary Movie" star Marlon Wayans stated, "I've never succumbed to that. I've been the same comedian that I was since we first started. Real comedians – we stayed the course." Wayans claimed that the cancel culture is "all in society's mind" and that comedians have to risk offending people to tell a good joke. "Because humor is something you have to be honest about, and you have to dig deep, and you're gonna touch nerves, and you're gonna hurt feelings. That's part of finding a good joke," he said. Roast comic Jeff Ross slammed those who get too offended over jokes during an interview in January. "What's funny is funny, you know?" the comic said. "There will always be people who are going to pretend to be offended, but those are the people that offend me, you know? Hypocrites."

Jets owner Woody Johnson buys stake in Premier League's Crystal Palace
Woody Johnson is going international. The New York Jets owner has become a familiar face across the pond in recent years, having previously served as the United States ambassador to the United Kingdom during President Donald Trump's first administration. As the NFL's international marketing rights have expanded, teams began vying for exclusive shares of specific markets. Advertisement Johnson's Jets were awarded marketing rights to the UK, making it the green-and-whites' second home under the NFL Global Markets program. Eight other teams have those rights. Now Johnson is digging into the world's game, buying a stake in the Premier League's Crystal Palace. The move was announced by the soccer team on Monday, with ESPN reporting the 43% stake owned by John Textor was sold to Johnson for $254 million. 'Whilst the completion is pending approval from the Premier League and Women's Super League, we do not envisage any issues and look forward to welcoming Woody as a partner and director of the club,' the club said in a statement. Advertisement The sale will have to pass the league's Owners and Directors' Test, something that isn't expected to be a problem. Johnson bought the Jets for $635 million in 2000, an NFL record at the time. He now adds a second professional sports franchise to his portfolio, a trend that is becoming increasingly commonplace across pro sports. Johnson is set to join a Crystal Palace ownership group that includes Washington Commanders owners, Josh Harris and David Blitzer – who each own 18% of the club. The Jets owner previously attempted to buy Chelsea F.C. in 2022, noting he became a fan of the team during his time as ambassador. Now it appears Johnson will be trading in his Chelsea blue for Palace's red-and-blue. This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Crystal Palace ownership: New York Jets' Woody Johnson buys stake

Former Chelsea winger has wild idea which would be even less popular than Robert Sanchez
Former Chelsea winger has wild idea which would be even less popular than Robert Sanchez Chelsea's goalkeeper situation is the subject of much debate after the Blues broke off talks to try and sign Mike Maignan. Currently the plan seems to be to keep using Robert Sanchez, although that's not a decision that will be very popular with many fans. Former Blue Pat Nevin has an even less popular suggestion, though. Advertisement 'The goalkeeper position is a tough one for Chelsea because what they're looking for is youth,' Nevin said in quotes picked up by CaughtOffside. 'But goalkeepers, like centre-backs, don't really come into their own until they're around 25 or 26. They are two very specific positions in that regard. Look who's already on their books with Robert Sanchez, Filip Jorgensen, Gabriel Slonina, Djordje Petrovic and Kepa Arrizabalaga.' WATCH Chelsea vs. ES Tunis for free on any device with DAZN. Pat Nevin points to Kepa as potential Chelsea goalkeeper solution Kepa Arrizabalaga playing for Bournemouth (Photo by) Advertisement Can you see where this is going yet? 'I think the resolution to their goalkeeping problem could already be at the club. Kepa is as good as any of the goalkeepers we have mentioned and he's an option that I think is worth revisiting for Chelsea. 'I'm not sure if the ownership regime would think the same, but he's there and they're paying him. 'If he's the best option at the club, after learning a lot of things while out on loan this season, Chelsea shouldn't be looking all around the world for another goalkeeper. 'Kepa has got better with his feet and is a fantastic shot-stopper. While you can question his presence and it's a challenge Chelsea face, I don't think it's their biggest problem.' Crazy Kepa suggestion would be a lead balloon with Chelsea fans We didn't think there could be an idea that would be digested worse than Chelsea sticking with Sanchez next season, but we might just have found it. Selling Kepa to Arsenal or Bournemouth for £5m this summer is a great result for us, and second guessing that would be a mistake.
