It's about the general lack of civility or respect shown by these public examples on the left vs. the right.
And no one is out spewing hate while hiding behind religious beliefs? Or is it just a numbers game to you, too?

Anyone kneeling during the anthem

Okay, now I’m pulling against the US women’s soccer team. This is bullshite. You’re representing your country, not your sexuality.

I'll watch if they have a celebratory daisy chain of muff diving at center field.

Respect for at least admitting that. Still, being less of a scumbag doesn't make anyone not a scumbag.

I agree. For example, the vast majority of pregnancies do not end in abortion. That doesn't stop the rhetoric. It doesn't even slow it down.

I don't agree. The responses in this thread are not missing emotion.

Hinkle, who made eight appearances for the national team from 2015 through 2017, acknowledged that she may never get another opportunity: “I knew in my spirit I was doing the right thing. I knew that I was being obedient. If I never get a national team call-up again, that just is part of [God’s] plan.”
This is the type of person that great countries are comprised of. Her convictions, honor, integrity and moral character are far more valuable to her than the fleeting notoriety of being a soccer player on the USA national team.

Why the frick is a national team wearing a gay pride jersey?
Because it’s 1984
And the progressive deconstructionists are in control.
The amount of private, for-profit companies that have changed to rainbow themed logos all this month is how you really know this has become a forced celebration.

maybe we should make the US team colors the queer flag so we have it up front that you must worship at the dildo altar and participate in team scissoring after matches.

quote:True, which is a really good thing. However we're still talking about unnecessarily killing human lives (in my view) so even the exception is important to tackle.
I agree. For example, the vast majority of pregnancies do not end in abortion. That doesn't stop the rhetoric. It doesn't even slow it down.
I view elective abortion as a huge problem that needs to be ended, and the vast minority of abortions are non-elective, meaning that we can still tackle the problem of the "rule" for abortion first and then the exceptions, if we can't do both at the same time.
In this scenario, the "rule" seems to be that the left makes an emotional spectacle out of everything they don't like while the right generally doesn't. The exception is that all groups have people that defy the rules.
quote:Key word I used is "governed". Almost everyone has emotions and emotions affect people differently, but it's my observation that leftists tend to be governed by their emotions more than reason or principle, meaning they are pretty inconsistent with what they claim to believe and how they act, and they tend to provide more impassioned responses to their perceived problems than those on the right.
I don't agree. The responses in this thread are not missing emotion.
The riots we see, the vulgar public expressions of absolute hate and disgust we see, the violence in demonstrations and the desire to completely shut down the other side tends to come from the left, at least for events that are nationally broadcasted.
That's my percecption which I admit may be biased, but I don't see an Antifa on the right these days, or a conservative version of Hollywood and media that is doing to the left what they have been doing to us.

Ahh yes, I distinctly remember when Google rolled into KC with their residential fiber to the prem build out. Little Rainbow rabbits everywhere. The progressive programming is insidious and subliminal......, the Google Rainbow Rabbit.

No national anthem...for the national team?
Sooooooo...I suppose you want silence for Olympic medal moments as well.
I love our country. I am not ashamed to say that. As such, I support OUR citizens representing US in sporting competition. To me, the national anthem is a part of that. Comparing CK and Rapinoe is a false equivalency. The events, despite both being based on sports, are not the same imo.
