Oh so now apologies work? Is that only if you are Democrat?
I don't know the history of past comments he has made. If there is a pattern of these comments from him his apology means nothing.
Also I have no idea he is D. Do we assume that since he is black? If so do we assume if you are uneducated you are a R?

His apology was swift. You really think that would have happened if comments were largely ignored by everyone?

I happen to know a little of the "behind the scenes" on this one. The apology, donation, and classes were a result of quick-thinking agents. He still believes what he believes. And no one called him out.

Wasn't only agent based. Others were involved.

That should be easy to prove with past or future statements.

How about the double standard with regards to how DeSean Jackson's comments were largely ignored by everyone?

https://twitter.com/JoeBanner13/status/1280325319535128576?s=20

Ps - read Banner's Twitter for some super-enlightening on "wokeness" and double standards.
+100. If the player was white and said something anti black he'd probably be fired and there would be a social media campaign to ruin his life. When Brees said kneeling is disrespecting the flag he got flack from everywhere. And he loves blacks, the double standard is sickening but we knew it all along. Blm are bunch of anti semites and jews better get out of bed with them before its too late.

Maybe I am wrong, but end of the day, a private employer can employ whomever they want. If the public doesn't like it, don't give them your business.
I find it hard to believe that firing/cutting someone is going to make them change his/her viewpoints. I think it would more likely reinforce his/her biases. Positive interaction with the class of people he/she is biased against will do the most to change views.

This jumped out at me, too.

Such an absurd statement I don't even know where to begin.

It's Stephen Jackson. That's where you begin and end.

Are you actually, like actually, arguing that there is a conservative "cancel culture" anywhere near as aggressive and toxic as that of the left?

Never said such a thing. What I said and am willing to back up is there have been whites players that made racial comments and never been fired or little done to them. The OP made a claim they would be fired.

Fair. That said, I don't know when or where your examples are from, but I find it difficult to believe there would not be more outrage in today's climate had OPs case occurred this week as compared to what occurred.

Fox - outrage
CNN - little coverage and no out rage.
I think we both agree why.

Well, that's the issue.

Racism and antisemitism needs to be panned across the spectrum.

It's the other stuff I don't think we agree on.

One other point about this. All we hear is MSM is #fakenews. Both of them had what happened and it was accurate. Then they put their spin on it which all know happens. But the actual event was reported correctly.

As long as we can both be honest in the debate there is no issue.
