Nobody seems to have a problem with it if they disagree with the person but it’s a very slippery slope. Wait until you’re on the receiving end and lose your job for something completely unrelated to work.
That said I’m all for firing him for his on field production. He’s not very good at football.
I agree it is a disturbing trend, and if it doesnt end, everyone will end up on the receiving end a some point. Look at Jimmy Kimmel.
What I really wonder, is why werent all these same people offended years ago when Jimmy did the Karl Malone skit? That was laughed at by both blacks and whites back then, so why not now? Nobody called him racist back then. Why all the sudden does he feel the need to take a leave from his job and issue an apology? He's a comedian. I feel sorry for the comedy industry right now. They may as well pack it in, because when social justice comes around, not much will be funny anymore, because everyone apparently needs their feelings protected and somehow that is more important than freedom of speech.
Also, I know a lot of BLM supporters and have a lot of people of color in my family. None of them give a crap about LGBTQ, at all. They dont want anything to do with it. Get your popcorn because this entire thing is going to backfire in a big way. The media is trying to lump those 2 groups together, and its not going to work out well in the end. The media needs to stop dividing people. Its disgusting.
Welcome to election year 2020. I hate politics, and all this garbage is a big part of why.
