• In 2016, 15-year-old Groves gets her license and fires up Snapchat. She rattles off “I can drive ni–ers” and hits send

• The video circulates around the Loudoun County school district with typical Snapchat attention, but that’s the end of it. People go on with their lives

• Ms. Groves completes her freshman, sophomore, and junior years without the video causing problems

• Groves enters her senior year, things are going well. She’s the varsity cheer captain and headed to the University of Tennessee to join the Vols cheerleading team

• At some point during the 2019-20 school year, Jimmy Galligan receives the video and he decides to keep it in his pocket

• In June 2020, as the George Floyd news breaks, Groves takes to Instagram and urges “people to ‘protest, donate, sign a petition, rally, do something’ in support of the Black Lives Matter movement,” according to the New York Times.

• “You have the audacity to post this, after saying the N-word,” someone writes on her post

• Galligan deploys the 2016 video of Groves


quote:
Tennessee told Groves she wouldn’t be welcomed at the school.

Galligan, happy with the results, told the Times he had zero regrets. “If I never posted that video, nothing would have ever happened,” he said. And because the internet never forgets, the clip will always be available to watch.


quote:
“I’m going to remind myself, ‘You started something. You taught someone a lesson.’”


A reminder that nothing on Snapchat is temporary.




So exactly how has she been cancelled? She is not doing something she wanted to do, something she thought she was going to be able to do, something that UT thought she was going to and apparently wanted her to do. That is life...shite changes. Unless she simply lies down and dies she ain't canceled and if she does lay down and die she has canceled herself.

I got fired from a job once for dumping an water keg full of ice water over the jot superintendents head and whipping his arse. I was immediately unable to do something I wanted to do, something I thought I was going to do, something my employer thought I was going to do and something they apparently wanted me to do....until I dumped a water keg of ice water over the head of the superintendent and whipped his arse in the job parking lot. I could have canceled myself but that fricktard didn't have the ability to do it...he could and did cancel my employment but he didn't harm me in the least. The damage done my self image had I not whupped his arse would have been far more detrimental....

None of these stories about people being cancelled result in anyone actually being cancelled....actions have consequences. Use language in public that does not fit with the image of a major entity such as UT and you will find the consequences of your actions may not be to your liking....dump a water keg of ice water and whip the arse of your boss and you are going to suffer some form of consequence...

Finally how many of you whining about cancel culture today were whining about the Dixie Chicks having their careers derailed because they committed a sin against the right??? Kathy Griffith??? The right and the left does it in the same numbers and it is as deplorable either way....but the person being cancelled is only cancelled if they are simply not viable any longer...if they are they will overcome....even if they did dump a water keg full of ice water over their bosses head and whip his arse.

To what extent are you willing to hold people to account for things they did when they're young?

Are you going to agree with a university for preventing attendance because some guy pushed a girl down in the second grade?

No one here is saying that what the girl did was ok, but to have that mold her future in such a drastic way is beyond ridiculous. Would you be ok with this girl being banned from every university in the country?

Leave it to you to defend the indefensible.

First off, she was “cancelled” by the UT administration not allowing her to be a cheerleader at UT.
2nd, the Dixie chicks weren’t cancelled, dumbass. People stopped buying their shitty albums which is their right to do. Same with people not watching the NFL. If you rely on popularity to make money, then offending your money base so as to they spend their money elsewhere is not cancelling. Cancelling is using force via “you can’t work here no more” enacted by administrators. Not “we’ll simply stop patronizing you”.

Of course you know that. You’re just trying to defend your liberal slave masters. Carry on.

The Dixie Chicks and Kathy Griffith were adults, well-established adults, in the public spotlight by choice and by ambition. They were where they wanted to be, and decided they would make public statements that they should have known would alienate part of their fan base. Kathy Griffith's implied some sort of threat/encouragement of physical violence against a sitting president. They took their chances thinking they were/are bigger than their fans who believe differently.

This girl was 15 at the time of her indiscretion. This was personal. Big difference between established public entertainers and a stupid teenager.

I have a feeling this didn't happen as you claim it did.

Are you really this stupid? You are comparing assaulting your supervisor as an adult to a 15 year old screaming the N word at the end of her excited statement about getting her license?

How on earth are some of you useless and illogical idiots still alive much less posting on a message board?

Damn.
