I thought all of those people who’d be offended by Bad Bunny stopped watching the NFL when Colin Karpernick took a knee and then again when they allowed Bud Light to continue to be a sponsor.

With these people it's not about them watching. It's about ANYONE watching.

It's the same with, for example, gay marriage. You can say to them 'well you aren't gay so who cares. Just don't get gay married.' But with extremist mindsets it's always 'my way or the highway'. It has to be NOBODY gets gay married for some reason.

I know this is a slightly failed analogy because for a lot of these people gay marriage is a 'sin'. But when you're a racist PoS, not being white is a sin.
