If your livelihood depends on black people it’s probably a good idea to support what’s important to them. No one is denying that Gundy is free to believe what he wants. No one is stupid enough though to realize the potential repercussions on the recruiting trail. Ultimately, not supporting what your audience does is a great way to lose your job. It’s been happening in politics for decades. While he’s free to wear the shirt, recruits are free to go elsewhere. That gesture was career suicide. I do agree with alot of what you say, honestly, but you are missing the big picture. Everytime a conservative expresses his opinion, no matter how subtly, he faces immense blowback from corporate and left wing media. It is like a firestorm. Boycotting, censorship, and alot of times people losing their jobs. You almost never see that with left wing individuals expressing themselves. If this is how it is going to be going forward, we are on the precipice of the end of free speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely so many here are not so obtuse to recognize this simple fact. Freedom of speech and the double standard where Gungy gets treated one way wearing an OAN t shirt on a private fishing trip, and imagine if this would have been a deal at all if that were a CNN t shirt...

Like I said, a person in the public eye working for an institution who is supposed to be teaching critical thought. Your scenarios are apples and oranges. Not sure how to break it down any more clearly...it’s very simple. There is really no right or wrong when it comes to feelings but there IS when it comes to optics. The hope is even those of us with the most minute abilities to think critically can grasp this fact. Edited June 17, 2020 by TroutDog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be able to wear an OAN tee just as much as he should be able to wear an MSNBC or CNN or Young Turks tee without blowback. Conservatives ARE aligned with black families much more so than you would think. They oppose abortion, go to church more so than leftists by a large margin, are pro nuclear family, etc. The only reason this is an issue is that there is a quasi modo French Revolution going on right now, where ANYBODY that steps out of line with the Antifa narrative is destroyed. Conservatives need to screw on their gonads and pull on their big boy pants, this is a war not a skirmish. Does the orange man destroy the antifa insurgents who took over 6 city blocks in Seattle, all the Karen's who chastise people who wont wear a mask outside in open air 20 ft away from anybody, etc. This whole culture war is scary, man. We should be able to have our own views and EXPRESS THEM without fear of losing our livlihoods... this man said "antifa narritive" hahahaha have a look folks, someone that has been utterly brainwashed by the right wing media he is trying so hard to embarrassingly defend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you're saying that Gundy should have the freedom to wear a T-shirt, but others should't have the freedom to express their opinion about it? How is that not a double standard? Do you see people lining up to destroy Hollywood celebrities over wearing Che t shirts? How about mayors of cities that honeymoon in Cuba during the cold war? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they do. LOL (I had to include that LOL for effect) The Left is a flat out joke just as Black Lives Matter is a false narrative. When the little black children or black adults being killed in gang wars by black adults matter, ONLY THEN will black lives matter. Until then, it is FAKE.
