I have been watching the events of the weekend and the fallout since. I am fascinated.
The Left is furious! They are fervently trying to argue 1A rights when the rest of the nation is trashing their behavior.
This is not a legal fight. This is a behavioral fight. A solid society generally polices its members via social stigmata. The Left has been good with this in the past, with things like white guilt, fairness, etc. Suddenly they are getting a dose of their own. Notice that everywhere they are feverishly trying to deflect the argument.
“It’s not about the country; it’s about injustice.” But the argument is failing, as it is obviously about the country. And the cracks are starting to show. More boos. More vociferous support for the flag and anthem. More statement that this is the wrong time and place to “protest”. Here and there players stating this is not the way to do this.
Perhaps there’s hope for us yet.
It is about people who are wealthy trying to shame people who are not.
It is about race trumping reality.
It is about deepening a division.
The “N” in NFL no longer means “National”
You don’t understand. They can say vile things about you. You are not allowed to strike back. /s
America is a terrible racist country which treats immigrants terribly. Yet the immigrants want to come here. Wonderful places like Cuba and Venezuela, socialist paradises, have people fleeing away. It’s almost as if leftism results in hell holes.
Almost?
