This is the hypocrisy and ridiculousness of the modern left and idiotic embrace of "political correctness" as the main ideology.
You have athletes that are willing to stand up for any local issue, no matter how true or not. An entire intellectual class lauds them while they stand up for defining issues such as trans-gender pronouns, third bathrooms, or cultural appropriations. Yet when the most important values of Western democracies, those who have shaped and allowed Western countries to grow and prosper, namely freedom and democracy, are being challeged, an entire intellectuall class and the "social-concious" athletes go quiet.
What B.S of the highest order this is! At least Cap was willing to put his money on the line for what he believed.
