Use of the word "aesthetic"??? Empty Use of the word "aesthetic"???

Post by CFCNick Fri Apr 19, 2013 1:44 am

I've just used this word on 606v2 talking about the Premier/Football League creating their own version of the NFL's Rooney Rule.

MockingJay33 wrote:That article misses out a big point about the Rooney Rule that all my fellow American football fans will know. Teams can hire whoever they like just as long as ONE interview is given to a minority.

It's well intentioned but flawed and can be easily manipulated so someone who doesn't want to hire a minority can just hand out an interview as a going through motions act.

It's also been called out recently by former black NFL coaches who think it should be altered to give minorities better chance of actually being hired. This offseason two head coaches and a GM who were all black were fired and replaced by white men. There were 13 job openings all together (8 HC & 5 GM positions) all filled by white men.

It's just an aesthetic thing. Like when they said gays can marry in churches, but every church in the country can legally refuse them.

It felt like the right word to use. Have I used it correctly?

I know what you are getting at but I would say no, a word like image would fit better.

aesthetic  
Use Aesthetic in a sentence
aes·thet·ic [es-thet-ik or, esp. British, ees-] Show IPA
adjective
1.
pertaining to a sense of the beautiful or to the philosophy of aesthetics.
2.
of or pertaining to the study of the mind and emotions in relation to the sense of beauty; of or relating to the science of aesthetics.
3.
having a sense of the beautiful; characterized by a love of beauty.
4.
pertaining to, involving, or concerned with pure emotion and sensation as opposed to pure intellectuality.
noun
5.
the philosophical theory or set of principles governing the idea of beauty at a given time and place: the clean lines, bare surfaces, and sense of space that bespeak the machine-age aesthetic; the Cubist aesthetic.
6.
Archaic. the study of the nature of sensation.

Doesn't seem to fit unless I am mistaken Smile

I think the 3rd point kind of covers it. It has the sense of beauty but it isn't? Like it's just to appease the ones who feel wronged without really changing anything.

Loving it!! Completely the wrong word by the way. But can't think of the correct one off the top of my head.

Haha. It's bugging me that I can't quite come up with a more suitable word. I know what you're trying to say, but 'aesthetic' just doesn't quite work.

In fact, I'd probably be inclined to use a word you used in a later post - 'appeasment'. Ack, but now I look at it, that's not quite right either.

Buggrit.

At work, some people like to have these types of discussions during meetings (in Latin sometimes!) and I do try to avoid them (snooze). However, I am not sure facade covers it.
It is more delicate than facade- semblance or veneer perhaps.

"sop" was the word I was thinking of. But 'token gesture' is probably more polite.
