The Outrage Thread

So Mike Gundy wore an OAN t-shirt fishing and now his star running back says that's unacceptable, he won't stand for it, and he won't be doing anything with the team until things change.

I guess now your career is over for watching the wrong TV channel.

I think was more about what Gundy stated about why he watches it. Probably the same reaction if he wore a MAGA hat.

Why do you feel it doesnt matter?

Because the issues aren't confined to Berkeley unfortunately, and it doesn't change the facts or issues addressed in the letter.

 

[boozeman]

No doubt.

I guess I don't get why OAN is so evil, though. I heard Craig Miller on the Ticket railing on OAN, apparently because John Oliver was bashing it. I'd barely heard of it until then, so I watched some. Saw nothing wrong with it. During the day it's mostly just boring world news clips, not opinions. Not familiar with their opinion people, but I've watched Liz Wheeler during the virus craze and it was a good show, mostly digging into foreign studies on the virus. What I saw was much less political than Fox.

I know they lean right, but acting like simply watching it is tantamount to not caring about black people is absurd. It's certainly not worth threatening a football coach over it.

Supposedly it called BLM a criminal movement, etc.

Fuck him. Until he comes out and condemns somebody like Kaepernick for wearing a Che Guevara Tshirt, this is just more ignorant bullshit not to be taken seriously.

Let him sit. And if he refuses to play, that's fine. That's his choice. Give his scholarship to another player.

Someone has to draw a line in the sand.

All these leftist assholes are jumping on the cancellation bandwagon trying to ruin anyone who thinks differently.

I guess OAN is the new Confederate flag. Make no mistake: they'd be just as irate if it was Fox News.

I like this twitter account, its not the actual Thomas Sowell but supposedly actual quotes from him

I saw Florio's column. I guess one opinion host (whose show I haven't watched) said BLM was a terrorist organization. Are you telling me in all the zillions of hours of programming CNN and MSNBC haven't said something extreme? We know for a fact they have. (Joy Reid anyone?)

I'm just saying: maybe OAN is terrible, but people should observe and make up their own minds about things, not just mindlessly believe and parrot whatever they see on Twitter.

And, there's the problem.

They say that about the NRA all the time, but I guess they're fair game.

And Trump. They say all manner of ridiculous, inflammatory and divisive things all the time.
