Joe Burrow might be high-class Josh Rosen. Burrow is a bit woke, chasing social media fame, and he's certainly full of himself. I'm re-evaluating my Joe Burrow position. Stay tuned. TJ provoked an epiphany yesterday. https://t.co/bTOh68eysf

Whitlock was the one all over the media saying Burrow should refuse to sign with Cincinnati. That being said, I wish Burrow would shut the hell up. Unless he plans to follow LeBron's stance of supporting Communist China and mocking Rittenhouse's crying on the stand or all sorts of hot-button issues.
If entertainers want to wade into hot-button issues, they have the freedom to do so. And I and millions have the right to oppose them if we don't like their stance. If Burrow wants to wade into abortion, then he better be prepared to lose half his supporters, whichever way he goes, because that is an issue people take very serious stands on.
Jordon was the master of staying within his expertise of sports and not using his platform to say vote Democratic or vote Republican or be pro-abortion or be pro-life or support the Hong Kong protestors and Eris Kanter or support totalitarian regimes.
I also have strong opinions. And if I don't like Burrow's view, then I'll support the Bengals, but not be an avid supporter of Burrow. He may not care about me, or my enjoyment of sports, but there are millions like me that watch sports and movies for enjoyment and don't like to put money in the pocket of those with opposing view.
