I didn’t leave, I enjoyed the game & ignored
There are. However, just because it's religious and in a book that people think came from god doesn't mean the ideas and promotion of said ideas can't be reprehensible or bigoted.
That doesn't really answer my questions though about what the intent was. Do you just not like rainbows or something?
Belichick probably didnt want the medal, because it means very little after Bill Gates & George Soros received it
So then just out of curiosity, what is you opinion on teams engaging in partisan political messaging?
The award was pissed all over the day Rush Limbaugh got it
It depends on the message.
I'm not Irish. But if on St Patrick's Day week the Celtics have some Irish heritage celebration, I'm not going to lose my mind over it and leave because some culture that isn't mine is being promoted. If they did an Italian heritage day and I enjoyed it but then I didn't show that same tolerance to other people for the 3 minutes it's relevant at halftime, I'd feel like a hypocrite.
Yeah, the extreme, but very simple solution would be for leagues to stop promoting or supporting literally everything. Don't support the military, BLM, law enforcement, LGBT, all of it.
It's not just about someone treating you badly to your face. It wasn't until 2003 same sex activity was made LEGAL in every state. I'm 34 years old (I think one of the younger posters here) and I grew up in a school where people would use "gay" as an insult for things that had nothing to do with homosexuality and I know that wasn't uncommon. All of us here have to admit that we've live in a world where there was stigma around homosexuality and trans. And stigma leads to subconscious bias.
This. I'd rather sports abstain from it because frankly sports aren't all that equipped to deal with it. But if they are going to, I get to have my own opinion based on the content.
Way to take the high road... very Christian response.
I don't support biological men in women's sports. If you want my views on the matter look up what Bob Costas said recently about us because he phrased it perfectly IMO. And funny enough, unlike Ivey for his comments, I don't think he's getting fired for his. Why is that? It's because this idea that people are villainized for those type of takes Costas made is silly propaganda. Trans and gay people present some unique "challenges" for rules and practices that are gender-based and there's room for healthy, respectful disagreement on some of those circumstances. People don't get villainized for that. They get villainized for saying being gay is "unrighteous" like Ivey did because that's not policy, that's not law, that's not nuance... that's just passing moral judgement on someone and hatefully saying they're bad for the way are.
I know you will disagree. But personally I think there should be a stigma for sin again. Things were much better in our nation when some things were frowned upon. Cheating on your spouse, getting drunk, doing drugs, hetero promiscuity, homosexuality and trans. A social stigma can hold back the tide somewhat. And we're in this era now where tolerance is on steroids, anything goes and our society is worse off for it.
