Because he's not requesting a powerful institution fire an individual for that individual's personal opinion.At no point have I said he was close to a star. He was a low end starter or very very serviceable backup.
If you don't think these wife-beaters are self-absorbed I am not sure what to say. No team wanted to deal with backlash of Kap. I actually have no problem with that, teams have to make all kinds of decisions. The NFL has marketed itself as God and Country, Kap did not fit that bill. He made his choice, he pays the price.
I am not sure why we say people who speak should never, ever face consequences for what they say. Kap did, that is the way the system works.
If you discovered that a chain was openly supporting Russia's involvement in Ukraine, would you shop there? I wouldn't. Would you tell others what you learned so they would not shop there? How is that not cancel culture.
The people who thought the 49ers should fire Kap for his kneeling were participating in cancel culture. Those who didn't want to tune into a game involving him were not. I think that's a decent distinction.
Are you using this to point out, like Cosmic, that both conservatives and liberals engage in this? I grant the point (which is obvious).
