Consequence Culture - Gina Carano, Colin Kaepernick, The Dixie Chicks and Jane Fonda

While I don't share his beliefs, Tim Tebow was vilified by the left for kneeling in silent prayer. No more disruptive than anything Kaepernick did, the act was considered intolerant and outright disgusting by the shit-stained left.

Except nobody insisted on firing him.


Tebow knelt in an act of silent, personal prayer. Kapernick knelt in an act of public defiance. The left looked at Tebow as some sort zealot and at Kaepernick as some sort of hero. Kapernick is no hero and Tebow is no zealot, yet only the act of one of them is acceptable to the dumbfucks who inhabit the left...

Kapernick kneeled because he lives in a country where police can murder people like him, with no consequences. That's kind of a big deal.

Tebow kneeled because he thinks his Imaginary Friend in the Sky is invested in him winning a football game.

Frankly, I've always wondered about a God who really is invested in who wins a football game but could care less about starving children in Africa.



It kind of trivializes your God, doesn't it?



The police are not murdering people you idiot....13 unarmed blacks were killed by police...at least 8 of them were in the process of attacking the police.......you moron.

Oh just stop with this bullshit comparison. He got picked on by the left wing idealists. But he wasn't blackballed by the NFL, he wasn't colluded against by NFL owners and unable to land a team, and he wasn't hung out to dry by the collective NFL players association. Eventually he was out of the league. Why? Not because of his religious beliefs or the fact that he kneeled in prayer. Because in the end, he wasn't a very good quarterback. Compare that to Kapernick who had way more upside than Tebow at the QB position and took his team to a Super Bowl. And he can't land a job because he takes a knee protesting the treatment of black men? C'mon.

Are you guys fucking stupid......he was a lousy quarterback looking at the end of his career who used false allegations of racism to get rich....

The NFL offered him a private try out and he refused to show...you lying assholes...
 
I also think it's funny that, while you seemingly support Disney for making their decision to avoid controversy, you're unwilling to accept that the NFL has treated Kaepernick in the same manner, and for the same reason...

The problem is, we DID need the controversy that Kapernick was stirring up. We needed to have addressed police brutality and misconduct YEARS ago. Instead, we let it fester until it exploded last year.

Not anymore.

Today's cancel culture, led by the likes of the OP, serves to prove that you people are 100% anti-American.

It is 100% against our values that we destroy people for speaking things we disagree with. It cannot get more unAmerican.

yet that is EXACTLY what you guys did with Colin Kaepernick, The Dixie Chicks and Jane Fonda.

And you guys kept punishing them even after they were more or less vindicated by events.


Moron....jane fonda had a long career after she sided with the mass murdering communists in Vietnam, you idiot....

She starred in films and was an exercise sensation...you dumb ass....she is the least canceled person in the world....

1972 was when she posed with the mass murdering communist vietnamese...

Now......tell us this is how she was canceled....you dumb ass...you don't even know what you are fucking talking about....


Through her production company, IPC Films, she produced films that helped return her to star status. The 1977 comedy film Fun With Dick and Jane is generally considered her "comeback" picture. Critical reaction was mixed, but Fonda's comic performance was praised; Vincent Canby of The New York Times remarked, "I never have trouble remembering that Miss Fonda is a fine dramatic actress but I'm surprised all over again every time I see her do comedy with the mixture of comic intelligence and abandon she shows here."[33] Also in 1977, she portrayed the playwright Lillian Hellman in Julia, receiving positive reviews from critics. Gary Arnold of The Washington Post described her performance as "edgy, persuasive and intriguingly tensed-up," commenting further, "Irritable, intent and agonizingly self-conscious, Fonda suggests the internal conflicts gnawing at a talented woman who craves the self-assurance, resolve and wisdom she sees in figures like Julia and Hammett."[34] For her performance, Fonda won her first BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role, her second Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama, and received her third Best Actress Oscar nomination.[35]

During this period, Fonda announced that she would make only films that focused on important issues, and she generally stuck to her word. She turned down An Unmarried Woman because she felt the part was not relevant.

In 1978, Fonda was at a career peak after she won her second Best Actress Oscar for her role as Sally Hyde, a conflicted adulteress in Coming Home,

the story of a disabled Vietnam War veteran's difficulty in re-entering civilian life.[35] Upon its release, the film was a popular success with audiences, and generally received good reviews; Ebert noted that her Sally Hyde was "the kind of character you somehow wouldn't expect the outspoken, intelligent Fonda to play," and Jonathan Rosenbaum of the San Diego Reader felt that Fonda was "a marvel to watch; what fascinates and involves me in her performance are the conscientious effort and thought that seem to go into every line reading and gesture, as if the question of what a captain's wife and former cheerleader was like became a source of endless curiosity and discovery for her."[36] Her performance also earned her a third Golden Globe Award for Best Actress as well, making this her second consecutive win. Also in 1978, she reunited with Alan J. Pakula to star in his post-modern Western drama Comes a Horseman as a hard-bitten rancher, and later took on a supporting role in California Suite, where she played a Manhattan workaholic and divorcee. Variety noted that she "demonstrates yet another aspect of her amazing range"[37] and Time Out New York remarked that she gave "another performance of unnerving sureness".[38]


She won her second BAFTA Award for Best Actress in 1979 with The China Syndrome, about a cover-up of a vulnerability in a nuclear power plant. Cast alongside Jack Lemmon and Michael Douglas, in one of his early roles, Fonda played a clever, ambitious television news reporter. Vincent Canby, writing for The New York Times, singled out Fonda's performance for praise: "The three stars are splendid, but maybe Miss Fonda is just a bit more than that. Her performance is not that of an actress in a star's role, but that of an actress creating a character that happens to be major within the film. She keeps getting better and better."[39] This role also earned her Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for Best Actress.

The same year, she starred in the western adventure-romance film The Electric Horseman with her frequent co-star, Robert Redford. Although the film received mixed reviews, The Electric Horseman was a box office success, becoming the eleventh highest-grossing film of 1979[40] after grossing a domestic total of nearly $62 million.[41]

In 1980, Fonda starred in 9 to 5 with Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton. The film was a huge critical and box office success, becoming the second highest-grossing release of the year.[42] Fonda had long wanted to work with her father, hoping it would help their strained relationship.[35] She achieved this goal when she purchased the screen rights to the play On Golden Pond, specifically for her father and her.[43] The father-daughter rift depicted on screen closely paralleled the real-life relationship between the two Fondas; they eventually became the first father-daughter duo to earn Oscar nominations (Jane earned her first Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination) for their roles in the same film. On Golden Pond, which also starred four-time Oscar winner Katharine Hepburn, brought Henry Fonda his only Academy Award for Best Actor, which Jane accepted on his behalf, as he was ill and could not leave home. He died five months later.[35]

Fonda continued to appear in feature films throughout the 1980s,
winning an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress for The Dollmaker (1984), and starring in the role of Dr. Martha Livingston in Agnes of God (1985). The following year, she played an alcoholic actress and murder suspect in the 1986 thriller The Morning After, opposite Jeff Bridges. In preparation for her role, Fonda modelled the character on the starlet Gail Russell, who, at 36, was found dead in her apartment, among empty liquor bottles. Writing for The New Yorker, Pauline Kael commended Fonda for giving "a raucous-voiced, down-in-the-dirty performance that has some of the charge of her Bree in Klute, back in 1971".[44] For her performance, she was nominated for yet another Academy Award for Best Actress. She ended the decade by appearing in Old Gringo. For many years Fonda took ballet class to keep fit, but after fracturing her foot while filming The China Syndrome, she was no longer able to participate. To compensate, she began participating in aerobics and strengthening exercises under the direction of Leni Cazden. The Leni Workout became the Jane Fonda Workout, which began a second career for her, continuing for many years.[35] This was considered one of the influences that started the fitness craze among baby boomers, then approaching middle age.

In 1982, Fonda released her first exercise video, titled Jane Fonda's Workout, inspired by her best-selling book, Jane Fonda's Workout Book. Jane Fonda's Workout became the highest selling home video of the next few years, selling over a million copies.


The video's release led many people to buy the then-new VCR in order to watch and perform the workout at home. The exercise videos were directed by Sidney Galanty, who produced the first video and 11 more after that. She would subsequently release 23 workout videos with the series selling a total of 17 million copies combined, more than any other exercise series.[35] She released five workout books and thirteen audio programs, through 1995. After a fifteen-year hiatus, she released two new fitness videos on DVD in 2010, aiming at an older audience.[45]


It would help if you would do 5 seconds of research before you posted....you dumb ass...

See the OP.

So, you don't have any yourself?

So, you can't address the ones in the OP?


I addressed the ones in the op, you dumb ass....

kapernick sucked as a QB and was losing his spot........

the Dixie Chicks offended their actual audience and they were already on the downward slope of their career, looking to try to get traction by becoming political...just like Taylor Swift...also on the downward side of her career and trying to become relevant by pretending to care about politics...

and jane fonda? Are you as stupid as joe?

Read the long list of how fonda wasn't canceled after she betrayed her country.....you idiot. See post #64...

After her 1972 photo with the mass murdering communists of Vietnam...

Those are all good points but I do wonder what did Gina Carano say that you label as racist, conspiratorial and transphobic? What even is transphobic?

Irrational fear of transsexual Americans.


Nobody is afraid of them. What are they gonna do, beat you to death with fake fur?
 
So we've seen a few threads on these boards about how Gina Carano was fired by Disney after she repeatedly posted racist, conspiratorial and transphobic memes on Twitter, and someone decided that she wasn't the best person to have on your Fun Space Adventure for the Whole Family. Yes, after spending 4 BILLION to buy the rights to Star Wars, they didn't want some third tier actor dragging them into controversy they didn't need.

Fun Space Adventure... Calling them "Younglings" so you don't have to say, "Killed Children"

Anyway, the Right Wing has gone apoplectic over this. How dare we punish this poor woman for merely expressing her opinion.

Of course, these were the same people who insisted that the NFL Fire Colin Kaepernick because he took a knee protesting police misconduct and killing of black people.

View attachment 464342

Eventually, he was proven right when the country exploded into riots after George Floyd was murdered. Even big corporations got in on the act.

Then there were the Dixie Chicks. Remember them? They were a country band that expressed the opinion that our war with Iraq over weapons that didn't exist was probably a bad idea. (Actually, only one of them did, but they all paid for it.

View attachment 464343

Eventually, they were proven right. Heck, you'd be hard pressed to find a Right Winger today who would argue the Iraq War was a good idea.

Then there was the grandmother of all "Cancel Culture", Jane Fonda. You remember Jane? She was the one who said our undeclared war in Vietnam was a terrible idea. Even humanized the people we were mercilessly bombing by visiting them.

View attachment 464344

Well, she was proven right. The war was a bad idea. Not that it did her any good, people still denounced her as "Hanoi Jane" and her career was pretty much over by 1980.

Point is, the Right Wing was for Cancel Culture (really, "Consequence Culture") before they were against it.

So let the right wing outrage begin!!!


You lying sack of shit...he left the team you fucking moron.....

The quarterback's new agents told all 32 teams on Tuesday that he will be opting out of his contract with the 49ers, sources told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. Kaepernick was due $16.9 million in salary and bonuses in 2017. The 49ers confirmed Kaepernick's decision to opt out on Friday.
------

Since he led San Francisco to its first Super Bowl appearance in 18 years in 2012, Kaepernick's production has tapered off significantly. The quarterback's already-low completion percentage dipped well below 60 percent in 2015 and 2016 and he has struggled to make strong throws past 10 yards and outside the numbers.




As part of the deal's reconfiguration, Kaepernick traded $14.5 million in injury guarantees during the 2017 season for the opportunity to opt out of the deal early.

His decision saves the Niners his $14.5 million base salary in 2017 though he will still count nearly $2.5 million in dead money for the remainder of his signing bonus proration.

From the moment Kaepernick and the Niners struck that agreement, the expectation was that Kaepernick would explore his options. Even if he elects to stay, the 49ers still would have the ability to release him with minimal salary cap repercussions.

Even after the restructure, Kaepernick insisted he wasn't thinking about anything beyond the season. At the end of the year, he expressed gratitude toward 49ers CEO Jed York and executive vice president Paraag Marathe.


 
OP left out John Kerry who-along with Jane Fonda-committed treason during time of war and deserved to be shot but were rewarded by the left.
 
Why should I go through all the pages when you are the one that made a statement about it?

You don't need to go through all the pages. I said refer to the OP.

It's rather telling that you're quick to compare liberals to Nazis regarding cancel culture but you don't do the same regarding conservatives and cancel culture.

Again, what have Conservatives canceled in the last 20 years? The WOKE and Cancel Culture are just like Nazis this day in age. It don't take a rocket scientist to see that. And in actuality these people aren't really liberals. A real liberal was JFK. These people are nothing like liberals at all. If we are going to label them, they are Marxist and or Commies and or Nazis. It is tyranny.

What did she say that was racist? Also, the beep boop thing was pretty funny. If that's considered transphobic, that's pretty ridiculous, but then again, the LGBT lobby itself has gotten ridiculous in its own right.

All Kaepernick proved was that he did it for the money. After he and his girlfriend sabotaged several attempts to hire him, he won an out of court settlement, and then got a massive endorsement deal from Nike, it was clear he could make more money outside of football with no risk of injury. He played the woke game quite well. He apparently even has idiots that still view him as a victim as well.

Of course, his wokeness doesn't extend to the fact that Nike employs Uighur slave labor, but I know your opinion on that is that it doesn't matter. Only American lives matter, eh?

Fonda's meeting with POWs and the North Vietnamese was a propaganda move for that regime. Whether she intended to aid their cause or not, her meeting ultimately served their cause. Yes, the Vietnam War was a mistake, but her actions were naive at best and duplicitous at worst.
