Oh and PS, I heard the Pro Bowl was a stinker. (There’s a reason for that.)

THREAD CONTINUED: PART 2

More on #Rogan, #Spotify blah blah blah

Where were we?

Oh yes. Cancel culture. It’s not real.

No one has lost their livelihood or been denied a livelihood due to an unruly Internet mob.

Can folks sometimes rush to judgment without having all the facts? Sure.

But what is usually labeled #cancelculture is just the hard fact of accountability in a society. Of their being repercussions for bad acts, and yes, for bad speech.

It’s a good thing.

/27
Back to being open to opposing viewpoints and the theory that the best response to speech we disagree with being counter-speech, more speech, robust debate.

I used to believe that was always the case. I believed it when I graduated from Law School.

My thoughts on and learnings from the continued conversations around the Joe Rogan, Spotify, Neil Young story including ‘tribalism, de-platforming, free speech, boycotts and battling disinformation.

/1
It’s been both frustrating and fascinating to watch the Spotify/Joe Rogan/Neil Young story and the discussions around it wind it’s way through our society.

So many critically important and complex social, cultural, and legal issues are crammed up in there:

/2
COVID, vaccines and anti-vaxxers, what to do about disinformation, tensions between (lower case) free speech and public health or other concerns, how or whether we assess racist or sexist or homophobic speech on private platforms;

THREAD:

The Brian Flores class action suit against the NFL for discriminatory hiring practices is a BIG DEAL.

The full complaint is here and it’s worth a read:

wigdorlaw.com/wp-content/upl… /1
Once we are done chuckling at Patriots coach Bill Belichick’s texting the wrong Brian (he thought he was talking to Brian Daboll but he was talking to Brian Flores), we can begin to consider the enormity and boldness of this action by Flores.

/2
The Belichick text evidence - by the way - is front and center in the Complaint used to allege that the Giants knew they would hire Daboll before even interviewing Flores. Makes Flores interview look like Rooney Rule box checking. Oops.

Over my years of writing at @GoodMenProject, I’ve been lucky enough to be able to speak to some of the foremost folks about “masculinity.” It’s incredible how many dots this single issue connect and how many issues it spans. A few highlights:
@RemakingManhood writes extensively on men and boys and the Man Box. He has taught me so much. His #LittleMeTooBookForMen is essential reading goodmenproject.com/featured-conte… via @GoodMenProject
Last year, I had the opportunity to speak with @JYSexton, who writes about masculinity and the rise of Trump. They’re closely connected issues; Trump is an avatar of toxic masculinity. goodmenproject.com/featured-conte… via @GoodMenProject
