This whole thing is fucking nonsense. It's a damn t-shirt with nothing offensive on it. And, don't give me that "well, he has every right to say what he offended by". That very well may be true, but if he is offended by a news network t-shirt he is a massive pussy.
The problem isn't that he is voicing his opinion on something he doesn't agree with, the problem is that he is applying public pressure to silence something that he doesn't agree with. There's a massive difference. And a stunning number of people apparently lack the nuance to understand the difference.

BTW is it OAN, or OANN? I don't even know.

And along those lines, that moron player just gave OAN(N) a big boost of recognition. Very few people would have noticed Gundy wearing whatever shirt in a random picture. Good job!

Never even heard of OANN. but because of all this I may watch it.
I'm telling you, if you watch it for any length of time at all you'll wonder what all the fuss is about. It's mostly boring worldwide news stories during the day and conservative opinions at night. I'm no expert and it's not like I'm sitting in front of it for hours, but from what I've seen, it's less Trump-centric than Newsmax or even Fox. But from the references to it, you'd think it ran pro-Hitler and KKK shows 24/7.

I think it's just another example of the left trying to silence any kind of dissenting opinion.

Yeah the sensitivity level on some people is off the charts right now. And the sad thing is now the coach is forced to either apologize for something silly or lose the team.

Sadly people really believe Republican = KKK even though it's not close to true.

Oh, I agree completely, and the latter is much more offensive to me.

Same. Which means the player must have had to really dig around to find something offensive about it. Which makes this even more infuriating.

This is exactly why I never ever leave my house without a gun on my hip. If he had not pulled his weapon, there is no telling what they would have done to him.

Cool. They're getting closer to me.
