In a world full of "unwritten rules," what happens when you decide to stop following them? In this episode of Breaking Through Glass Ceilings, Brian H. Waters does a dive deep into two viral moments that have traditionalists in a tailspin.(1:23) First, he stars with Druski's latest megachurch parody. From flying over the congregation to "mimicking pastors who over indulge in offerings, Druski's satire of the prosperity gospel has racked up over 40 million views—and just as many angry comments. He discusses the fine line between mockery and a much-needed mirror: Is he attacking faith, or is he exposing a ceiling of exploitation within modern ministry (10:12) Then, he heads to the NFL press room to discuss Lynn Jones of the Jacksonville Free Press. After the Jaguars' tough playoff loss, Jones chose to offer Coach Liam Coen words of encouragement rather than a cold interrogation. Traditional journalists called it "unprofessional," but was it? We break down the backlash from the "legacy media" and why her choice to lead with humanity is shattering the rigid glass ceiling of sports journalism.(22:16) Sticking with the NFL, he discusses Baltimore Ravens owner, Steve Biscoitti's press conference following John Harbaugh's departure. During the press conference, news broke that rival head coach, Mike Tomlin was stepping down as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Waters discusses the Ravens moving forward with a new head coach and the possibilty of Tomlin crossing the line to join the Ravens. Watch Queen P.R. and Brian H.
