 The Lars thing in a canter because WWE somehow managed the double whammy of hiring a known bigot, pushing him while it was known he was a bigot, and then somehow managing to treat him unfairly by fining him for the bigoted stuff they were ostensibly cool with until it became a scandal

 wage theft is always bad. like i don’t give a single poo poo that it’s unfair to him specifically, but it’s still super hosed up to fine someone for something they did years before you employed contracted them, which you also knew about at the time you hired them, specifically and solely for the purposes of PR

While that might be theoretically true I'm still not personally bothered that the Nazi got in trouble for being a Nazi, even if they didn't actually care he was a Nazi. The fact that they didn't care he was a Nazi is why I voted for it.

Arguing that we should be angry about the fine feels like we're basically arguing that we should defend Lars' right to post racist poo poo online without any punishment? Maybe I'm misunderstanding that argument?
There’s a bunch of appropriate ways of dealing with a staff member who has a history of racist and otherwise bigoted views, and none of them involve helping yourself to their money

 Tyson Fury is terrible but tbh he probably wouldn't have the top 3 most repulsive views among WWE wrestlers so it's hard to vote for versus the whole murderous regime propaganda thing

the most disgusting thing is that we could have been having a BoneZone Match every week for the past however many years and instead we got whatever everything else was

 the plane incident was imo a new low in terms of the contempt they show for their own performers, while the return of propaganda was a continuation of how lovely they are

If a theoretical #NYCOVID19 happened what would the entries be and how many more weeks until we get to 19 solid entries?

Not Testing Wrestlers
Employees Forced to Work Against Their Will
Resuming Live Broadcasts (Then changing their mind)
Linda McMahon run PAC Promising Florida Huge Ad Spend
Not Informing Workers of 2nd Positive Test
Not Allowing Audience to Wear Masks
Wrestlers Forced to Stand for 9 Hour Taping
Mass Firing During Pandemic
Paycuts
Events Surrounding 1st Positive Test

What would you suggest?
stripping workers of their titles for not being willing/able to breach lockdown
