When Erika Kirk spoke the words on the man who killed her husband: “That man… that young man… I forgive him.” That moment deeply affected me. I have struggled for over 60 years to forgive the man who killed my Dad. I will say those words now as I type: “ I forgive the man who killed my father.”
Peace be with you all.
If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
So just to clarify…you���re saying @Riley_Gaines_ shouldn’t call out men in women’s sports because it feels “too personal”. What about how deeply personal it is for the girls being displaced, overlooked, & silenced?
You admit the system is broken. You say it’s “complicated.” But instead of supporting the young women calling attention to that injustice, you scold them for how it feels to the people benefiting from it. You don’t offer a solution. You don’t propose reform. You don’t take a stand. You just hide behind buzzwords like “empathy” and “respect” which let’s be honest only ever seem to flow in one direction.
You say you weren’t advocating for unfairness in women’s sports. But in the same breath, you criticize the only people actually fighting for fairness. So what are you advocating for? Silence? Appeasement? A system where girls just smile & swallow their losses to protect someone else’s feelings?
This doesn’t sound like a sincere apology. It reads like a brand doing damage control. It sounds like someone who didn’t expect the backlash & is now scrambling to soften the blow not because you suddenly care about fairness but because your public image took a hit. You’re not sorry for what you said. You’re sorry that people heard you say it.
@Simone_Biles, hate to break it to you, but this isn’t the comeback you think it is.
Simone Biles would weep uncontrollably and shriek about ‘women’s rights’ if she was ever forced to compete against a man.
What a total fraud.
Historic crash out
All the horrific sexual abuse @Simone_Biles witnessed and spoke out against caused by one man, yet believes women should be forced to strip naked in front of men to validate the man's feelings.
You know how many gold medals you'd have if your "inclusive" dream came true? Zero.
