The Soviets were fond of forced confessions. New Left types in the 60’s and 70’s were fond of self-criticism sessions as a way to brutalize heretics. Today’s fascists have combined the two. The heretic is forced to both confess and undergo self-criticism sessions!
The Miami Dolphins swiftly and publicly reprimanded Don Jones late Sunday for his Twitter remarks critical of Michael Sam, fining him and barring him from team activities until he undergoes sensitivity training.
In a statement released by the team, Jones apologized for tweeting “omg” and “horrible” after seeing Sam sharing a celebratory kiss with his partner on national TV Saturday evening. Sam had just been drafted by the St. Louis Rams in the seventh round, becoming the first openly gay player selected by an NFL team.
“I want to apologize to Michael Sam for the inappropriate comments that I made last night on social media,” said Jones, a backup defensive back. “I take full responsibility for them, and I regret that these tweets took away from his draft moment.
“I remember last year when I was drafted in the seventh round and all of the emotions and happiness I felt when I received the call that gave me an opportunity to play for an NFL team, and I wish him all the best in his NFL career. I sincerely apologize to Mr. (Stephen) Ross, my teammates, coaches, staff and fans for these tweets. I am committed to represent the values of the Miami Dolphins organization and appreciate the opportunity I have been given to do so going forward.”
Although the Dolphins did not disclose the amount of the fine, the fact that they made the punishment public was significant. Dolphins coach Joe Philbin rarely discusses internal discipline with reporters but made it a point to condemn Jones’ words on official team letterhead Sunday night.
For the crime of stating an opinion, this guy gets fined, publicly scolded and send off to a labor camp. Welcome to America baby!
Why does “Your livelihood is over, nisi mandatory attendance and demonstrable comprehension of sensitivity training accredited by special interest rent seeking
folks.” sound like “no work for those deemed
seditious. Mandatory conviction to reeducation camp, to “understand” the “new” rules.
What if Don Jones had said, “Nah, I ain’t apologizin’ to no homosexuals.”
Is he that expendable?
