Once they get enough signatures it becomes a law. Scary stuff.

 

[QuaoarsKing]

Wait, aren't you the same guy that said it was OK for Colin Kaepernick to be "canceled" by the NFL because they have to to keep their fans happy and their locker rooms free of distractions?

Here’s the petition if you’d like to sign:

Demand the Kansas City Chiefs to Dismiss Harrison Butker for Discriminatory Remarks

[L4Dawg]

Kapernick got cut because he wasn't as good as he once was. He never got another gig because he wasn't as good as he once was AND he had become a distraction. When this guy starts regularly missing kicks he will get cut too, not before.

If TBD puts his Herbie Hancock on that petition does that negate the importance of it or solidify its inanity?

Nerds that have been picked on their whole life have power. From progressive dweebs to shltty cops to minority politicians to blue-haired, nose-ring-wearing shims running HR departments. Blame the GOP for not using their power to slow down the fall of Rome. They are spineless trash. I've said it before, I'm jealous of the left's desire and willingness to wield power.

Cue the Colin Kaepernick hating crowd to say “bbbut that is different”.

 

[anon1735416121]

Not signing it. Listened to what he said & I don’t get the fuss. By the time it was over with i was like ok? And?

 

[Colonel Kang]

What's wild is that the same people wanting Butker kicked off the Chiefs are likely the same people that are on college campuses spewing anti-Semitism & believe they have the freedom to speech to openly talk about killing Jews.

Wild world full of evil people

 

[dawgstudent]

The most ironic thing was a kicker talking about masculinity.

 

[ckDOG]

I don't care what he said or what people think about what he said.

Will my life go on or do I need to place a flag in the sand?

 

[dgsmith15]

Thomas Morstead would like a word

 

[Shmuley]

The most ironic thing was a kicker talking about masculinity.

Credit for being a straight on, Dempsey-style, kicker, though.

 

[patdog]

I don't know exactly what he said, and really don't care enough to read the full story to find out. But my first reaction when I saw the headlines a couple of days ago was, "I guess he's had enough of playing in the NFL (and making lots of money). Cause he's probably just ended his career."

 

[tbaydog]

 

[QuaoarsKing]

Kapernick got cut because he wasn't as good as he once was. He never got another gig because he wasn't as good as he once was AND he had become a distraction. When this guy starts regularly missing kicks he will get cut too, not before.

You can search through the archives of this board and find dozens of posters demanding that Kaepenick be cut for his political beliefs and then explaining how of course no team will sign him because that's what happens to controversial people.

Now many of those same people are clutching their pearls when the shoe's on the other foot. (Note - these are also the same people who post in every thread that mentinns Cohen about how they're glad we don't have a Democratic athletic director anymore, or worse.)

The difference is that conservatives are going to win this one. 0% Butker actually loses his career over this, but they'll still delude themselves into thinking they're persecuted anyway.

This thread will be locked in due course, but let me get this straight, you're blaming "The Right" so to speak, for not irresponsibly wielding power over the people and believing in free will, individuality, personal responsibility, and the right to an opinion?

 

[The Cooterpoot]

Freedom of speech is only a real thing if it's what some people believe. They don't want others to be a part of that inclusive idea. There's no more a hypocritical person than those who do stuff like that. It's fine and normal to disagree with opinions without going on the attack. We've become an aggressive, intolerant society. And it's not just the "woke", it's the average Joe these days too.

Agree 100%. Weird Theatre kids become Hollywood. The weird AV kids are in Silicon Valley. The advent of social media has made them more influential. Advertising agencies used to hand out disposable cameras to sorority girls at USC, UCLA and NYU and tell them to take pictures of what they thought was cool. They'd charge clients hundreds of thousands to look at the results. Now, they let a AWFL (affluent white female liberal) intern scroll through social media and tell CEOs that "woke is in."


I'd like to add that our Colleges of Education across the country have become Marxist training grounds + Education is a relatively easy major (It shouldn't be, but it is what it is), and we have a lot of educators with this mindset. They are paying us back.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think there’s a difference between a person spitting in the face of the country that gave you the opportunity to become one of the richest people in the world and live an incredibly comfortable life by playing a sport, and a person saying they are pro-women and don’t want to murder babies.

I think the “conservatives” will be on the right side of history with this one, QuaroarsKing.

I’m sure this will result in the thread being locked, but I’m amazed at the decline in objectivity and common sense among Americans in the 21st century.

 

[DawgieDust]

I don't see the fuss. We do need women in every household in America to make a home complete. Strong, loving, and raising kids in a Christian loving home. And imagine someone talking about their faith in a public forum. Need that too!

 

[Xenomorph]

So many people believe Freedom of Speech also means freedom from consequences.

Neither Kapernick or Butker will be deprived of their freedoms for anything they said.

Every corporation, on the other hand, decides every day whether it will or will not employ someone on the basis of what that person has said.

The NFL chose to not employ Kapernick, but as for Butker I’m sure they will.

All that and no freedoms were denied.

 

[615dawg]

I don't see the fuss. We do need women in every household in America to make a home complete. Strong, loving, and raising kids in a Christian loving home. And imagine someone talking about their faith in a public forum. Need that too!

He made the exact speech at Georgia Tech last year with little fuss. It's all manufactured in an election year to get the 39% of females that are hardcore left fired up to vote for a potato.

 

[Lucifer Morningstar]

My thoughts would be I wonder how many people on this board are part of a two income household? I would frankly love for Mrs. Morningstar to get to stay at home with our little hellspawn daughter, but she is a civil PE that loves her job as well. My point being why do we have to demonize or cancel anybody for their opinion? If you are able to sustain a one income household in today's world awesome, if you are not then that can be awesome as well. I know Mrs. Morningstar is an excellent mom that still works 40 to 50 hours a week. I like to think I am pretty good dad while still working 60 or so hours a week.

[Dawgg]

Hey, @tbaydog in the future, could you be more descriptive in your thread titles so I’ll know not to click into stupid horseshit like this?

I mean, I’ll do my part and be more cognizant of who the original poster is before I click, too, but a simple “Chiefs kicker getting cancelled by the left” thread title would have told me all I need to know.

Thank for your consideration.

You mean like an authoritarian dictatorship? Is that what we want? We are a diverse nation founded on the idea that self-government requires compromise. That sometimes means being civil and being willing to look for common ground with the blue-haired, nose-ring-wearing whatever you're talking about. This "wield power" shinola you're talking about is not American, and it's definitely not conservative.

 

[Tractorman]

I would imagine if someone started a petition to keep Harrison Butker on the Chiefs, it would dominate in signatures.

Edit: looks like someone just did - https://www.change.org/p/demand-the-kansas-city-chiefs-retain-and-reward-harrison-butker

 

[MagicDawg]

I'm not Catholic, but I liked most of his speech. A lot of common sense, and therefore doomed to criticism.

I think he pushed back hard on the cultural devaluing of motherhood/homemaking as somehow a lesser vocation or calling, when the opposite is true. I don't think he said working moms are necessarily bad mothers.

Good for him.

If praising/prioritizing homemaking as a higher calling than outside careers is considered upsetting/devaluing by working women, then would they also consider praising/prioritizing outside working moms to be a devaluing thing to say to stay-at-home moms?

 

[CochiseCowbell]

How dare he say things at a private institution?

Also, notable Alum of Benedictine College...this guy

 

[Chesusdog]

Mentally unhealthy people getting worked up over some kicker's opinions

 

[onewoof]

Crazy times. Saying "some women here want to get married and have families" is considered an attack.

He is getting attacked for being a vocal Catholic man and husband speaking about his belief publicly AT A CATHOLIC COLLEGE.

 

[greenbean.sixpack]

I'm sure he went into that knowing there'd be a huge backlash. He must not GAF. We need more people/businesses that DGAF about what a few folks think.

 

[dawgstudent]

It will blow over by the weekend.

 

[615dawg]

Throw a rock into a group of dogs and the one you hit barks the loudest. The women that are upset about this just want to be whores.

Again, he made the same speech last year at Georgia Tech, a much bigger university and there was hardly a peep. This is manufactured outrage in an election year.

 

[She Mate Me]

I'm signing.

This man has no business ever kicking another field point or extra goal in an MLS game.***
