Not sure where to put this one at,but here it goes.

Edmonton CFL team decides to change its name: TSN

at the end of the day,all this was never about George Floyd,in fact a majority doesn't give a s*** about George Floyd,not trying to sound crass. They're using his death as an excuse to cancel this,that and every thing that even remotely questionable. Because honestly i can't if all of these changes are sincere or pandering/virtue signaling anymore.

[end of rant]

Are they though? Or are you just sick of it because your team seems to be on the business end of the backhand more than not?

You support a President who is going out of his way to propagate identity politics and divide. Unanue planted his flag, which is his right - now American's can decide if their personal values are in line with those that run that company, which is their right.

If you insert yourself into the public arena you must be willing to live with the consequences.

Black people weren’t anywhere near equal rights in 1865. Move it up 100 years. Then think about the growth in your family from 1865 to 1965.

Unfortunately, for me...... it wasn’t all that..... on my father’s side anyway. My grandfather ran away from home at 14 and took his two younger sisters with him because his father was an abusive alcoholic. This was 6-7 years before the start of the Great Depression and my father was born during it. Needless to say, they didn’t have a pot to piss in.

The Lunatics Are Running the Asylum! The New York Times Surrenders to the ‘Woke’

Those of us who pay attention to the media have been aware of the turmoil in Times Square. Most amusing is the fact that the New York Post has to report on The New York Times.
​
The Gray Lady’s convulsions continue.

Former New York Times Executive Editor Jill Abramson says she’s dismayed by the troubles surrounding the New York Times op-ed section, particularly the departure of its editor James Bennet after he published a commentary by a U.S. senator calling for military force to quell riots.

“I don’t think that James Bennet should have been forced out at The Times,” Abramson told The Post, adding she “felt terrible” about it.

“He and I worked together in the Washington Bureau of the Times and I think he is one of the great journalists of our time. So I was very sad to see him pushed out,” Abramson said.

Abramson, who led the Times newsroom from September 2011 to May 2014, expressed sympathy for Bari Weiss, who shockingly resigned from the op-ed desk this week in a blistering open letter to publisher A.G. Sulzberger. Weiss said she’d been bullied and criticized by a Twitter-obsessed Times culture increasingly intolerant of any ideas outside its progressive, leftist orthodoxy.​
​
We have previously noted the ‘turmoil’ at the Times, and that, just a few days later, editorial page editor James Bennet was fired resigned, and deputy editorial page editor James Dao was demoted reassigned to the newsroom. We noted Bari Weiss Twitter thread that “The civil war inside The New York Times between the (mostly young) wokes the (mostly 40+) liberals is the same one raging inside other publications and companies across the country. The dynamic is always the same.” A few days later, Miss Weiss was gone, too.

And, of course, we noted how the Gray Lady retained young reporter Ali Watkins, even though she had been sleeping with one of her sources, though the Times at least tried the fig-leaf cover of reassigning her to a different beat.

Well, there is a rather simple solution. Get rid of your child staffers!

I knew the nyt and Chatt Times were founded by the same guy so this is not that surprising

The cancel culture needs a dose of its own medicine! On one hand, I find it amusing they are attacking their own (NYT, Starbucks, Hamilton- the play, Hollywood) but on the other hand, is it right to hold people accountable today for something that happened over 100 years ago? How would people react if they were held responsible for a crime someone in their family committed?
