Liberalism now means you can cancel your customer's insurance if you disagree with them politically. Yay, Democrats!
What type of insurance was it and was it personal or his business (he said "we").
In general, this one concerns me far more tham social media as certain types of insurance are critical. But I don't know enough specifics about this situation. I didnt even know he was a media personality now
He's been really outspoken in the past, in an intentionally inflammatory way, about both political and sports stuff.
Calling MLB baseball players "dumbasses" and "*******s," picking fights with people about political stuff, etc.
This wasn't just about him saying he supported the rioters last week. There's a history.
What the **** does that have to do with insurance coverage?
AIG doesn't want to do business with his (presumably) business anymore because they don't align with his public image.
Again, this seemed to be the straw or at least branch that broke the camel's back.
He tweeted transphobic remarks and got suspended from his job as commentator. Then he tweeted anti-Muslim rhetoric and got fired completely from ESPN. Then he has profane rants directed towards current MLB players about trivial sports matters. Then he tweets support for the rioters. It's on and on with him.
The man walks around with a flame thrower looking for gas cans to ignite.
It's dumb and disingenuous to do that and then be all "What, poor little old conservative MEEE? What did I do?"
He didn't get dropped for a thoughtful, eloquently penned essay in support of the Second Amendment, or of a strong military.
He got dropped for having a very visible, very trashy, very inflammatory online persona.
There are thoughtful ways to express conservative views that would never in a million years get you you canceled. Conservatives do themselves no favors by picking trashy, inflammatory ass-hats like Trump and Schilling to cry foul about "censorship" of conservative views.
Just like with a scientific study, you've got to control for the multi variable situation. If people getting canceled are trashy, inflammatory, and conservative, roll some dudes out there that are just plain conservative and see if they get cancelled too. That way you're controlling for whether the others got canceled for being trashy and inflammatory or for being conservative.
I've been consistent on here saying the same thing about the Republican nomination in 2024. Nikki Haley will get treated completely different than Trump. Why is that? She's conservative too. Granted, she's conservative without being a trashy, inflammatory, petulant child. Maybe that will make a difference?
