Had to rework and repost this because some of ya'll think you can share my infograph and crop out my name. We are happy that you are waking up, but please don't steal an infograph trying to act like you've been "woke"<--whatever that means... Lol
"If Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire and screamed 'Free the hostages! Free the hostages! Free the hostages!' they would build a shrine to him in the middle of Tel Aviv."
@Tiffany79871796@XXL His music is mid and he does thrive off of controversy. I wouldn't listen to the song anyways. I'm just really scrutinizing media and it's use during this time of war and social movements dismantling colonization both here and abroad.
@Tiffany79871796@XXL This article, is calling a song antisemitic while nothing antisemitic is said. Your "White Master" argument are just trigger words used to have people feel like they need to lean into your perspective. The song alone doesn't fit the narrative.
again, I don't cape for Kanye.
Everyone is applauding him for the apology...great (whoopty doo). THE COMMENT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. This is the apology you give when you know your career can be on the line.
Stick to commenting on what you have SEEN from Tua rather than speculating on his eating.
When I decided to do TV I had 2 main priorities.
1. Respect all NFL players, coaches, executives and staff members.
2. Earn and keep the respect of those very same people.
Those priorities are important to me, and when I miss that mark, I have to hold myself accountable. This game is difficult. Players sacrifice so much to be a part of the 1%. I have a responsibility to those players to be thoughtful in the way I present my opinions of them. In joking about Tua Tagovailoa, I didn’t meet that responsibility.
It was never my intention to question Tua’s work ethic or commitment to the game, but I’m also aware enough to know that intent, doesn’t always match impact. How something is presented isn’t always how it’s received by everyone. I do my best to be honest when executing my job as well as being honest when I fall short. I fell short on Monday and for that, I genuinely apologize.
Samoa and other Pasifika countries will always value relationships over tasks. Fa'aaloalo will always be the best approach. Respect the land and the culture that comes with it.....or don't come to the islands at all!
