I honestly didn't even think Jews dispute that.

It's often used as a reason for antisemitism

I'm not up to speed with my "hate" playbook.

People do understand that the 1st amendment protects ones from persecutution from the GOVERNMENT with regards to their freedom of speech right?

It doesn't mean your friends or employers have to agree / acquiesce.   

There is definitely a certain subset of society who doesn't understand how it works

[Pakuni]

Rough week for the Chiefs PR staff.

Most folks accept that free speech comes with consequences when they disagree with the speaker. When they agree, those same consequences appall them.

That's great self reflection. I'm impressed

[rocket surgeon]

Shouldn't he just shut up and kick? Or does that apply only to certain types of professional athletes?

  he was asked and accepted an offer to give a commencement speech

[The Sultan]

So athletes must be invited in order to exercise their free speech rights. Otherwise they should just keep their mouth shut.

Gotcha.

[rocket surgeon]

I don't think you understand what doxing means/is.

Ah. Clearly you don't get the irony.

Not surprising since you're rather dim.

Yes,  but Title VII protects one from being terminated by your employer for your religious beliefs.

But i agree with your general vibe

He should stick to sports.

You should look up the meaning of "dox."

[The Lens]

Yeah, and he gave the most backward ass speech of all time.  Of all time.  It was so f^cked up.  It was terrible.

  yeah, I know and reeeko only gave it a 1 out of 10 and that's only because he likes dudes in beards who can kick 50 yard field goals.

Seems the nuns who helped found the college where Butker spoke aren't so keen on his speech.

Instead of promoting unity in our church, our nation, and the world, his comments seem to have fostered division. One of our concerns was the assertion that being a homemaker is the highest calling for a woman. We sisters have dedicated our lives to God and God's people, including the many women whom we have taught and influenced during the past 160 years. These women have made a tremendous difference in the world in their roles as wives and mothers and through their God-given gifts in leadership, scholarship, and their careers.

Our community has taught young women and men not just how to be "homemakers" in a limited sense, but rather how to make a Gospel-centered, compassionate home within themselves where they can welcome others as Christ, empowering them to be the best versions of themselves. We reject a narrow definition of what it means to be Catholic. We are faithful members of the Catholic Church who embrace and promote the values of the Gospel, St. Benedict, and Vatican II and the teachings of Pope Francis.

Not surprised.  Butker is a Neanderthal but he'll be a hero for culture warriors whether he wants to be or not and a villain to progressives whether he wants to be or not.

Free speech doesn't save one from criticism.  It is disappointing more so for the college that now has unwanted attention and clearly disagrees with his worldview.

Meh. What do nuns know about Catholicism? Obviously not as much as a NFL kicker does.

I think this says a lot about the increasingly divergent views that exist in a number of places between the Benedictine orders of monks and sisters more than anything.

There used to be two separate colleges that merged into one. The brothers who mostly run the current college are way more conservative than the sisters who aren't involved as much any longer.

Why do you bring up homosexual themes so much?

Closet?

Closet?

Love is love. I hope happiness is found in embracing one's inner self and compassion. No one is truly a lost cause!

Just watched an extended highlight film of the Dolphins' 1985 win over the Bears. The 2 things I really noticed this time:

++ Marino moved extremely well in and around the pocket. History will never regard him as a scrambler obviously, but he was nimble and instinctive. Combine that with his famously quick release, and it's easy to see why he was rarely sacked or injured on his career.

++ Miami's oft-criticized defense played very well, especially in the first half when they were building a 31-10 lead.

I was a big Dolphins fans back then, so I remember being thrilled watching that game. But the Bears ended up getting what really mattered that season.
