It sets a bad precedence that when a somewhat political question is asked, you better answer it the way the media/political activists want you too or you will lose money.
There is a somewhat perversion of an answer when you know there are consequences based on how you answer. If Joe says he supports the right to bear arms, he likely is getting rail roaded by the media.
I appreciate his attempt to appease (whether he truly believes it or not) the activists, while also appeasing the other side by basically saying what both sides want to hear.
Oh, I agree JB handled it as best as could be expected. My issue is solely with the reporter asking a politically charged question and then NFL doubling down on it. Especially given the JDR situation. Of course a reporter is going to dig for a soundbite; I just wonder why he stopped with a guns question. Why not JB's thoughts on Inflation, gas prices, abortion, same-sex marriage...Those all seem within bounds in an interview following a workout.
