Did they demand its closure like libs did for the Christian baker who refused to make a wedding cake with a figure of two dudes on top?

Why would they? The bakery didn’t discriminate, the customers did.

That has never stopped a lib.

Besides, customers cannot discriminate, they just take their business elsewhere … Which is what that gay couple should have done. How hard could it be to find a gay baker anyway?

They were looking for a baker to sue imo.

That is a lot of typing to obfuscate the simple fact that there is in fact a very real difference between deciding you personally aren’t going to do business with someone and having banks, internet providers and social media cut off their ability to do business at all.

Colin Kaepernick disagrees that all today’s conservatives ever do is vote with their wallet.

Conservatives didn’t just boycott the NFL. They (along with their top man Donald Trump) actively called for any player that kneeled to be fired. Kaeprnick became the most visible symbol of that. Yeah he wasn’t the most talented, but there has been some absolute dreck that has passed through at the QB position since he lost his job…that he was better than…yet he never got the call.

That’s Cancel Culture.

Yeah the intangibles were the NFL felt the pressure.

But even had he not been fired, that was the Cancelers aim…all protestors should be fired.

Intangibles with the players. Some very talented people are simply more trouble than they’re worth.

I had a teammate like that once.

Kaepernick was not fired. He chose to opt out of his contract and become a free agent.

"Although the Bullock withdrew from the event and notified the 198 pre-registered participants, the Writers’ League of Texas was prepared to continue the event on their own platform and gave the book’s authors the opportunity to do so. The authors declined to continue, and because they did so, the Writers’ League of Texas cancelled the event."

From the Tribune link.

Emphasis mine.

It opens but gives you this.

You can’t read the article.

Unsure why it was canceled.
