Giving the side-eye to folks who called Naomi Osaka a "coward" because she pulled out of an event for mental health then did the same to Simone Biles but who are applauding Aaron Rodgers for throwing essentially a tantrum for months and having to be begged to come back to work.
And I'm not an Aaron Rodgers hater. Even though he's constantly whipping my team. I think he has some points. But how he's been treated for his attitude to his employer and his "responsibility" to fans is a lot different from what Naomi and Simone went through.
Naomi and Simone basically tried to withdraw gracefully as possible. Don't make a scene. Don't make it about me. Aaron Rodgers has been on several networks and has been as loud as possible and he was unapologetic today. And still he won't be criticized like them.
Again I'm not an Aaron Rodgers hater. He's been pretty eloquent about #BlackLivesMatter. But he's a white man in America. He can say f*ck you to the powers that be and they'll bend to his will. Black women say "enough" and they get criticized as being "weak" and "soft."
