[QUOTE="HFS, post: 3476317, member: 8862"] Don't know much about college or pro sports or this particular player. But cynical old HFS figures the whole entertainment business (which includes "news" as well as sports) now works like this. I suspect that a lot of "offended" people we hear about are just latching onto something to get their name out there in the headlines. In this day and age with so much media talking heads 24/7 yowling, you've got to fight for attention and any publicity is good publicity. So an entertainer may not be able to make many points on the field at their chosen sport (or an actor/singer who isn't really that talented) but they and their agents/advisors figure they're scoring brownie points with the powers that be (TV networks, executives of companies that offer endorsement deals, Hollywood studio bigwigs) who can help them in the future. There are a few entertainers who get themselves cancelled for being offended but mostly it seems like a winning strategy or at least they have nothing to lose anyway. [/QUOTE]
