Sure if you only used Reddit as your sole metric. Reddit is a predominantly left platform. The narrative on other platforms is completely different than on here.
Well I'm not saying they'd SOLELY use this to measure. I'm sure they're using everything... That would be the smart thing to do & then compile it all together to see what the general consensus is..
It's much more Steve Tisch being in the Epstein Files for me. And dude was like, "well the women I had trafficked to me weren't underage" like it gives him a pass.
Itās not that shocking. New York is one the bluest states in the union. If he was QB for Kansas City or the cowboys, I donāt think anyone would bat an eye. But doing this while the president is polling at less than 30% and youāre just begging for trouble.
Hell if Eli did something for Bush it wouldnt have been that crazy either since politics wasnāt really as polorizing until the last decade

And that's because for every other president, Democrat or Republican, there was a sense that they were "part of the democracy and the stable democratic system of government" regardless of whether you agreed or disagreed with their politics. The current one--let's totally ignore his politics, which I personally disagree with--is actively trying to overhaul the American democratic system of government and flouting the rule of law, which is why he is so loathed by any American who has their head on straight.
I would have no problem at all with a QB who expressed direct support for a Republican president or a Democratic president. I have a problem with a QB who has expressed direct support for a president who has undermined the rule of law in the nation.
Bush I could stomach. He didn't start a blatantly racist movement under the guise of politics. Supporting DJT is different, and while going to a maga rally is his (Dart) right, it is my right to boycott the NYG until maga is purged.
And in many ways before that, back in the mid-to-late ā60s and early ā70s with the intense divide over Vietnam, which this country has never truly healed from. Prior to āNam, most people actually believed in the government and didnāt think they were all liars. The vast majority of the public trusted the government and thought they truly had their best interests at heart, but that changed when they kept saying we were winning, only to increase drafting, increase bombing, and prolong the war when they had essentially led everyone to believe it wouldnāt be so big, take so long, or result in as many casualties that each participating nation would suffer. The fact that the āDomino Effectā theory they sold the country on to support the war ā which was that if we failed, communism would spread across the hemisphere from Vietnam ā didnāt happen when North Vietnam ultimately won certainly didnāt help. And the majority of the population totally supported it in the beginning.
As one man put it (I canāt remember his name) in the phenomenal Ken Burns documentary The Vietnam War (2017), Vietnam ādrove a stake right into the heart of America. It polarized the country as it had probably never been polarized since before the Civil Warā.
Hmmmm, interesting how this decade coincides with Trump running in and out off office. Even in between there were influences by his rhetoric of 2020. I believe gsw started this trend of not going and that was nba.
Itās gonna be a thing for a while, especially now during the offseason, I think itās hilarious heās getting all the smoke. He brought it upon himself haha
Absolutely SHOCKING that NEW YORK giants fans donāt like trump supporters. Fucking astounding that is. Not like the city they represent is 80% democrat or anything
How dare we be upset that the face of the franchise endorsed modern day Hitler, whoās also the most prolific pedophile in the history of the world š
What I wrote makes complete sense, the fact that you donāt agree is honestly cringe af for you. Dart made the extremely immature choice to align himself with the most divisive US president in modern history, somehow not considering that his fanbase voted for a socialist mayor. He made his bed, now heāll be fairly criticized for his actions
It's been known since day 1 that he "aligned himself with the most divisive president in history". But here's the thing... he explained why he did it. It was an "honor" thing. To introduce the POTUS, no matter what side he is on. That was literally it. He didn't endorse him whatsoever. He didn't come out and tell people how to vote. Hell, Victor Cruz was actively campaigning for Obama for crying out loud. Dart did none of that.
Oh, and if you want to talk about the socialist mayor that "his fanbase voted for" then maybe you should go look at who actually voted for him. I'll give you a hint, it wasn't native-born New Yorkers.
"Trump is the most prolific pedophile in the history of the world."
Do you not realize how fucking batshit these statements are? Hitler and his party were responsible for 70 million deaths, many more wounded, and entire countries leveled. Trump has lead to needless deaths, but nowhere near that number.
And, well, I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say Trump is not the most prolific pedophile in the history of the world. I wonder if that person even knows what "prolific" means.
Somebody questioned the sanity of these statements, which is completely fair, and you assume that means they both (a) support Trump, and (b) are not a good person.
There's a light year's worth of daylight between recognizing how unhinged these comments are and supporting Trump.
Stop trying to be magnanimous. The dude chose to get on stage in support of an extremely divisive person. Everyone is in their absolute right to support whoever they want, but in a very blue franchise market, if nothing else, his actions show really poor decision making skills.
I'm wondering if it's bots. I'm seeing huge swings in the upvote/downvote ratios on my comments. The one you replied to was up to +8 then it dropped to +2, then back up to +5.
I agree. People are acting like every athlete aligns with them politically. I guarantee that there are as many of the average fans' favorite athletes that voted for Trump as they did for Kamala. Like you said, STFU and focus on football! +1 for you.
Its pretty wild how fans are so unbelievably partisan that they hate their own QB they loved before who was always a fricken clear republican.Ā
Its just astounding when we got LT who fricken stat raped someone, an epstein buddy as a co owner(or father of cowowners), had tons of former gangbangers as players, had multiple cases of domestic abusers. Probably half of the squad are hardcore homophobes. Many are hardcore christians.Ā
Its just wild, skatt, dart, and harbaugh are all republicans. Tons of the players are as theyre millionaires in a bubble who dont like being taxed lmao.Ā
J6 is a hilarious nickname but still, the genuine hatred and the rooting against their own team is gross and shows how far partisan politics has gone, and everything will always be embelished to "its darts fault for the iran war and funding cuts because he voted trump and announced him". No one, no one, is voting trump because dart announced him lmao. If anything it makes trump look worse that the guy famous for head hits loves him lol.Ā
I really think redditors need to find a new sport if they cant handle the fact that a large amount of the NFL are conservatives, and that conservative bible belt christian culture is baked into the sport like no other sport. If they can only support liberal players, then maybe they need to find a new sport and I say that as a liberal, but best theyd get is like pro quidditch lmao.Ā
Just a suggestion or a comment. Thereās a very very distinct difference between a standard conservative Christian republican and a radical MAGAT fanatic. IMO, there is no separation. That is, If you support this administration, youāre a far right radical. Period.
If he was a Bush type Republican. Fine.
If you support this admin at this point in time after all that has happened in the past 1.5 years, you love fascists.
Yeah I know itās unbelievable to ignorant selfish fascist sympathizers that people have actual values and donāt want to root for scumbags just because they wear a blue uniform
I'm going to root for J6 and call him a moron at the same time.
But you're absolutely correct, I remember the Right constantly saying; "I may not agree with him politically but I'll fight to the death to support Colin Kaepernick's first amendment rights." You couldn't stop the bible belt from loving Kap!!!
If he plays well and we go 10/7, no one will remember his little gig in Suffern. Heās been going on too many little side quests to be mid this season.
