You have no idea what a terrible response that is, do you?

With caller Bob and Seacrest posting in this thread, there are plenty of examples of terrible responses here.

It’s perfectly fine. He’s asking me about oranges when I’m talking about apples. Im redirecting him to apples.

As I’ve stated. I don’t care if the Russian supported the event or not. He can believe whatever he wants. I think it’s pathetic that he’s hiding behind religion. I think it’s pathetic when anyone uses religion as justification for their actions. That’s my stance.

If an NBA player didn’t want to support blue lives matter, that’s perfectly fine too. But if they point to some storybook as the reason, that’s pathetc, and they’re asswipes. If the nba player didn’t support because they feel that blue lives matter doesn’t care about them or their community, that’s fine too. At least that’s a tangible reason that can be seen.

Im sorry if you all can’t see the difference, but maybe you need to understand any more attention and step outside your boxes.

Do you know what his religion is and what it says about homosexuality, or how devout he is to it? Seems like your point is that anyone who is devout to their religion is pathetic.

Not at all. My point is that anyone who uses their religion as a shield is pathetic.

That's his job to explain though. It's just like people who protested by kneeling for the national anthem.

What is his specific issue with wearing a pride jersey? If he wants to protest against gay people then he should do it but explain it.

He doesn't need to explain anything. He isn't protesting against gay people. He's simply refusing to take a political position.

What if Seacrest buys your company and declares every Friday Jesus Day and demands you wear a huge crucifix? If you refuse are you protesting against Christians?

And the anthem thing is a bad example. In fact it was often just the opposite. The pressure was on to take a knee.

As I said, that is up to him to explain.
This isn't a bad comparison but I also would be more than willing to explain my reasons for not wearing it. In reality though, I'd probably wear it for Friday Jesus Day because I don't really care that much either way.

Right. Most people don't rock the boat. They go along to get along. It took courage not to wear the sweater. Not the other way around.

He did explain himself. A lot of people just don't like the explanation. And they want to punish him.

Is it a protest against the pride flag or not? If it is, then it did take courage to not wear the sweater but I also think an explanation is deserved of why he is protesting the pride flag.

_________________

The explanation was generic and meaningless.

You know what you are? You are a Pride Flag bully!

You have it backward. Wearing the sweater is the protest. A protest of some imagined discrimination against the most celebrated members of our society.

He doesn't want to participate in the protest. That should be the end of it.

Probably because just coming out and saying “ I find homosexuality deplorable and dont want to wear a jersey that tacitly supports it “ is a one way ticket out of the league and future employment ( which MANY would applaud and call for to happen ) because youre not allowed to hold such views publicly ( unless its fuck the police , then its understandable and cool) . Couching it in religion enables you to keep your job . Crazy isnt it??

Maybe. Or maybe, unlike so many "religious" people, he really does believe the tenets of his religion.

I have no fucking idea, Rick. I’ve never even heard of the guy until this thread. Maybe he’s the most devout guy on the planet, maybe he just ( GASP) doesnt like gay people.
