He hasn't been drafted, but apparently a lot of inferior players got picked up over him, so it reeks of bias. Basically they have the plausible deniability of not seeing him as a good pick, while the real reason is obviously racism.

Kinda like how an employee gets fired over some minor infraction a week after they come out as trans or something.

It's a bit more than that. Kaepernick has a lot of flaws in his game (bad reads, tends to overthrow a lot), but it's obvious he's got the talent to succeed, but he's not putting it all together. I would say part of it is that he hasn't shown to be a good QB anymore, and also part his "baggage." Robert Griffin, a similar style QB (also black) got a 2nd chance despite a similar career trajectory as Kaepernick. But he towed the line.

As that Wired piece shows, Garrison thinks you can just be visible progressive and the money will come rolling in. Maybe he thinks Soros is bankrolling all those webcomics too.

And despite worshipping money and power with all his soul he refuses to join the obviously winning side and take the free money and power. Some libertarian, sounds more like a trade unionist to me.

It's basically just free association at this point. Throwing up flack to distract from whatever dumb poo poo Trump did today. Ransacking the dusty shelves of their brain and presenting the results to the wider world as though we should all be as outraged over whatever dumb poo poo got the conservative fever swamps in a kerfuffle six months ago.

The man in the Redskins t-shirt is a football team. Shakespeare in the Park represents exclusive rights for the football team to reproduce said t-shirts. The security person represents the US trademark office, who tried to interfere with the football team's god-given right to exclusively sell merchandise with an ethnic slur on it. The judge is a judge.

The SCOTUS ruled that offensive names can be trademarked. I think it was a band of Asian people named "The Slants" which is...yeah, but from what I saw they're a band of Asian people so people weren't clutching their pearls as much as Lester would like to believe.

Of course, the problem is that nobody ever wanted to outlaw the name "Redskins", but just have them change it because it's a slur as a team name. There's this failure on the right to realize that the freedom to do something doesn't mean you have to do it, nor that you are absolved of and kind of judgement or consequence for doing it. Sure, I have the freedom to go out and call people on the street assholes, but they can also tell me maybe I shouldn't do that and I'm a dick for continuing to do so.
