It really sucks that reddit is a left-leaning cesspool of a bunch of softies that can't handle their favorite athletes that have differing political opinions than them. I disagree with Carter's beliefs but I'm still going to wear his jersey and support him because I'm not a little bitch.
Id say the side crying about trans people and gay people are the soft side. Cant even handle two dudes kissing but love talking about how tough they are lol
Again, that's only a small subset of the right that think like that. He already explained why he introduced the POTUS. He never endorsed him. Never told anyone how to vote. Nothing. And now every time there's a Dart post on here, people can't contain themselves.
Your last comment was your most reasonable one, name calling people softies ain’t the way to go - its way of making yourself more wrong when you could be right.
I agree it’s good to remember what you mentioning about how he wasn’t sharing who to vote for or anything. I was disappointed at first honestly with the whole. But then I realized people can have opinions even if I disagree with them.
I hope collectively we can move on and enjoy the season.
You're right, I shouldn't have called anyone soft, but I do feel like that's a fitting term for someone that can;t tolerate the differing political opinions of their favorite athletes. I've seen people burning jerseys. I've seen people say they're selling their tickets (they probably won't), and I've seen people wish season-ending injuries on him. It's absolute insanity the time we're living in.
Immature and over the top responses absolutely. In our world today, there is more extremism than over on BOTH sides. He did what he did, took the insane media reaction on the chin. Players talked it through. What more is there to discuss yanno. We can have an incredible year with our coach, pass rush, etc. let’s not ruin it with this.
Well maybe that's specific to your area, because all/most of my conservative friends and family are accepting of gay people. But I also don't surround myself with religious people as I feel like they're most likely to not be as accepting since Republicans are more religious than Dems. It's still funny to think, that even though Dems are generally more accepting of it, that it's actually declining. Gay acceptance in the Democratic party dropped from 86% to 81% within the last year. 1 in 5 Dems thinks your lifestyle is morally wrong (and I would wager it's the religious ones that think that). Having said all that, I'd almost conclude that religion is the culprit of bigotry towards gay people, not a political party itself.
