Their tweets don't mean shit. All they do is reaffirm shit to the people that approve and upset people who don't agree. Who cares what Bader's opinion is on Roe V Wade?
I'd bet that all of you are pretty strong willed persons. There is no way you'd be swayed on a subject you're passionate about by some stupid athlete. So why get upset? It's 2022. It's going to stay this way. Just unfollow their dumbass's. Don't buy their jersey etc.

it's just a lot harder to root for someone who doesn't even rise to the level of
apathetic towards you. I recognize that most athletes simply don't care much about their fans one way or another.
But Flaherty takes it to another level. Jack Flaherty has demonstrated open antipathy and outright disdain for those that won't join him in his Quixotic bullshit.
It's why I cited Tony Gonzalez earlier - Gonzalez was apolitical as far as I ever knew. He was also someone who made it quite clear that he had little time for us peasant midwestern rubes.
Flaherty's politics are what color his revulsion but they aren't why I enjoy watching him get hit. I recognize that there are a SLEW of guys in all walks of entertainment that agree with him. I enjoy watching him get hit because I'm absolutely certain he would call me a backwards hillbilly mother****er if he bothered to stoop to notice me at all.
