Look:

Christmas is a holiday when banks and govt offices are closed so no canceling there. But let some college add evening hours to access the cafeteria during Ramadan, and rw'rs cry bloody murder.
So yeah liberals don't have a monopoly on cancel culture, guys.

Colin is an ass hole. And Muslims trying to have some college cafeterias open up after hours during Ramalamadingdong, is that it? I have a bag of prunes they can eat, any time.

That's right, in a display of arrogance and dictatorial hubris House Democrats declared themselves in charge of Republican committee assignments. It’s the same stupid Democrat maneuver that led them to discard the filibuster for judicial appointments. No doubt Democrats will scream when the Republicans exercise the same veto power over committee assignments after they take back the majority.

The difference in the two congress women is Marge is a rabble rouser who is making a fast buck off the pain she's causing her own constituents, while Cheney, a respected senior member of her party, was thrown under a bus named Cult-ville.

they already have added hours to accommodate the Muslim faith in some NW schools, just as they accommodate Christians by shutting down the whole school for Christmas.

Colin cancelled himself, all by himself. Aside from being at best a mediocre quarterback, nobody sits down on an afternoon with a bag of Cheetos and a six pack intending to watch a political protest.

Your comparison sucks. Never mind attempting to clarify.

no no no.
the kaepernick thing started before the third preseason game when he was not named the starter.
he sat on the bench pouting - it was not a protest. that bullschitt came later.
before the protest he was likely going to get released. because no team keeps a $12million backup qb on their roster. but after the protests started he kept his job in part because the owner didn't want to deal with racism allegations considering he had just hired a coach who had been accused of racism in the past, including the previous nfl team he coached.
but the big kicker was when it came time to flex his option he opted out of his contract - he decided to quit.
he appears to have intentionally sabotaged chances to get back into the nfl. once by burning a bridge with ray lewis and the ravens. then again by making nfl scouts jump thru hoops to watch him workout.
once he opted out of his contract he had no intention of ever playing another down in the nfl. he became more valuable out of the nfl as long as he could sell the blackballed bullschitt story.
and obviously a lot of folks bought it.

by the way...
the redskins should have kept their name and changed their mascot to a potato.

or maybe change to the caucasians...

thanx for setting the record straight. I didn't know/ keep up before the broo haha. on the other hand I caught some of the work out news and disagree with you on that.
And other players taking a knee is fine with me. Our country was built on freedom to do protest imho. I still think those who stomped their foot about the other players' quiet protest of police brutality was cancel culture.
But I always appreciate your clear headed posts.

Wouldn't think of it since it's clear as a bell already.
