Kicker for the US football team Chiefs based in Kansas City gave a commencement speech where he laid out a bunch of misogynistic and homophobic bullshit including the equivalent of "women belong in the kitchen" and is getting defended by conservatives as speaking to family values or whatever they call that bullshit now.
Sounds like you know about the guy on the right already, but for anyone else that might not know he was simply kneeling to bring attention to racism and was vilified by those same conservatives.
A white man was applauded while a black man was attacked.
Does that cover it?
You are not wrong, but I think you are missing the point a bit. What everyone in the thread is saying is that he got no pushback from conservatives. And instead they are defending him like they are in a cult lol. So the fact that normal people like us do attack him, like he deserves, is beyond the point of the conversation.
I'm assuming you are just confused here lol, maybe you are trolling to derail the conversation. That's why people are downvoting you, sadly a lot of people who argue in bad faith sound like you.
