Of course, if you followed sports, you'd know all this. But I don't expect former male cheerleaders to know all that much about baseball.

And speaking of accomplishments, are you claiming to be accomplished yourself? Because if you are, list 'em.

You were being rational, then you got emotional...



Why does anyone need to sacrifice themselves for another person or people? There is no value in that.
His accomplishments add value to his virtue.


Why would I place others above my own, unless they had some value to me? If I am forced to deny what my mind is rationally thinking, without the evidence to disprove what my mind is telling me is rational, I become an enslaved idiot.

Very little time, but enjoyed watching the RWNJ distress over such a trivial thing.

So, you are just trolling the thread? An emotional reaction, from a weak mind?
All in an effort to bash someone for rational thinking, using reason and evidence to support their words?


When the truth offends you, there is a serious problem with your conscious.

Did he get punished for rationally thinking and coming to the truth, or did the truth offend someone and he was fired on emotion? Is this their effort to force him to sacrifice his rational thought, to be enslaved by only their/your thinking, based upon emotion? His is based upon fact, evidence and history.

His employer chose to terminate his employment. Nothing more, nothing less. A job is not a divine right, and the network belongs to the employer.

When you get canned and you have a legal document called a contract for your terms of service, there better be evidence you were justified in breaking the contract. Breaking contracts have more consequences than just a slap on the wrist... But you are an employee with little value and no contract of employment with your master, I would not expect your to know that...

Ask your buddy Oberman about that.

As a public figure, anything you say they feel harms them economically( NBA is gonna move All Star NC game over this law) is grounds, and we both know dozens of ESPN f/t lawyers did review this already.

No issues with a multinational corporation taking on the role of though police?


How about just coming up with more convincing reasons for your positions?


Then you won`t have to punish people for disagreeing with you.
