Congrats on trying to sum up his entire life based on a few teenaged Tweets.

Gotta give Zirin credit on this one. He stayed true to himself, even though he knows he's gonna get a visit from Big Tuna sooner or later, perhaps on the .22 of the month.

He's a big boy. He can take his medicine.

It really does a lot of bad. Unfortunately it or something like it likely here to stay. Not for me though.

Nick Bosa deserved to have a moment of joy after being drafted. Instead he's being featured on national news for supporting the current president and saying he did not like Black Panther. Zirin is far more of a troll than Bosa.

No. I'm pretty there's no joy left for Nick Bosa.

The best journalism happens when we play gotcha with the social media accounts of teenagers. That gets to the core of a person.

Yes. A troll who enjoyed poking at popular black culture to get his jollies. He's also a nitwit and shit teammate. But who cares he's nobody in my world.

In 2019 and all the famous/infamous family and history, he knowingly put it out there for the desired effect. Unless he's an absolute nitwit.

Did any of his black teammates have a problem with him? I honestly don't know.

He just seems like a materialistic dumb teenager. Nothing sinister. Saying you don't like Black Panther is not a poke at Black culture. Black culture is American culture at this point. Without black influence the United States is not the world's leading cultural exporter.

While this really is a non story to me you're minimizing all he did. But my guess is that as he's from a pos family and by all accounts a kid with a substantial sense of entitlement, he's probably a prick many don't want to be bothered with.

It was the second story on the Today show. If you want to declare him and his family as shit, what are you basing it on? There were 50 million people who voted for Trump. I wouldn't, but get over yourself. I am not writing off half the country as irredeemable. I feel the same about kids tweeting out hateful rap lyrics. It's gotcha bullshit.

Although Bosa seems to be a typical airhead Florida Trump bro, he’s not wrong about Black Panther. Extremely overrated.

I don't particularly care for families whose wealth or foundation was built on running a murderous and racist crime organization. Trump and the Today show don't factor into this. Theyre both useless here as elsewhere.
But I will acknowledge that the odd press coverage he's gotten in his career does

Why is it a problem to support the President? Ridiculous. He's allowed to have an opinion and shouldn't be worried about turds like this questioning if he is a racist, etc. Probably says a lot more about the people attacking him than himself.

It’s like saying if you don’t like Woody Allen movies you’re an anti-Semite. Criticize black culture in any way and you’re the next grand Wizard though.

Can SJWs/virtue signalers be "try hard" and "grindy"? The image across the top of Zirin's Twitter page is of WNBA players kneeling, arm in arm.

Jesus. :lol: That is very try hard and grindy.

It's true. Think about it, at least within the context of the 20th century and beyond.
