Whether it is somebody saying “you people” in a context that appears discriminatory, or somebody seemingly making a broad generalization about hockey players being “bullies,” why is the immediate reaction of so many people in either of the instances to demand that offender to be removed from their chosen career or livelihood? I don’t agree with either statement that was made, but I also don’t agree with an approach that is simply nasty, vindictive and inflammatory. We can criticize, deconstruct and openly discuss things that offend and hurt us without stooping to the level of stripping careers and opportunities from people as a form of justice for our infringed feelings.
—I Think It’s Clear Who The “Bullies” Are
This article appears in Nov 14-20, 2019.
If he had apologized, things may have been different, but he didn’t. He knew what he meant and stood by it. Too bad.
He’s old enough to remember what it was used for and he knew better.
People ignored the jist of what he was trying to say and took a simple term ( used by him for decades) to hang him high. So typically 2019.
