Yet another day, yet more whining from the right about being caught up in improprieties.
Re-translation:

Plain and simple: if you don’t want something to become public, don’t say it in a public venue, especially in written form. Because as any good leftist knows, opinions, philosophies, and beliefs can never change (unless you are a leftist). They are static and written in stone (unless you are a leftist). They hang around your neck like a big albatross (unless you are a leftist) waiting for a PC Brown Shirt to track you down and crucify you (unless you are a leftist).

If you ARE a leftist, no matter your opinions, philosophies, and beliefs from the day you were born, you are automatically granted a Get Out of Jail Free Card.

Some tweets get a pass for their social faux pas. Sarah Jeong posts multiple racist tweets and gets a high paying job at the NYT.

Kyler Murray has apologized and moved on. This won't hurt his career.
Don't bet on it. He just may lose the trophy if media/SJW's pursue this.

And once its done, its like pee in a swimming pool, you can't take it out.
Before the internet, people wrote books, were interviewed in newspapers and magazines, etc. Many times, their words came back to bite them years later. With social media, there is no filter to begin with so people don't think about repercussions and you don't have to know or do anything useful to be able to post your words. I don't feel sorry for some of these people for having old stuff come back to bite them. Consequences for actions are a simple part of life.
The QB from Oklahoma will face nothing more than some uncomfortable moments for a few days or weeks, which isn't much and should be all he has to deal with since he was a kid when he said those things. He will still make the same fortune with whatever team he signs with in football or baseball.
Like mark Twain who wrote the n word in his novels? He's dead. What the hell sjws can do?

Or you know, one can man up, grow a pair, and accept the consequences of one’s actions. Something something “alpha male” and all.

In this case the consequences are ridicule for people like you who want to punish others for their speech. I accept those consequences.

As do I. I refuse to be cucked by the current wave of political correctness. I'd rather be dead then to give in to this cultural totalitarianism.
