“Few things are more infuriating than being sold a film about minorities that is really about a white savior.”

This video series does a great job of showing just how bad it is.

Wait a minute. You mean people who aren’t white don’t sit around discussing white people every minute of the day? I don’t get it. I can’t think of anything more important than me. Next you’re going to tell me that women don’t sit around talking about men every waking moment. What a topsy turvy world we live in.

You’re doing great work, friend.

I’m taking credit for this. He’s been doing it for months and I finally got fed up and tweeted at her yesterday, and this morning her team issued a statement. Coincidence? PROBABLY. BUT MAYBE NOT.

why isn’t Ted Nugent making tons of money writing songs for these assholes? they share ideologies and he’s a musician... a has been, but still, I’m sure he can put together a few chords and a hook for them.

I’m starting to think there may be a brisk business to be done in writing pop songs that appeal to Republican candidates.

Thank you.

It’s also not based on hot dog vendors and parking lot attendants, but they still get paid at least minimum wage. The game is also played by professional athletes, and not by the people who work in the offices of the franchise, who all also get paid a living wage. Your argument is invalid.

Irrelevant. If you hire someone, pay her what she’s owed and don’t break the law. That’s how bootstraps are made. Duh.

That logic makes sense though. Take a hungry person. Have him stand in the aisle of a grocery store. By being in mere proximity of food, that takes care of the hunger issues. Works the same way in the NFL!

They made the decision to have cheerleaders. Pay them.

Granted, cheerleading for a football team is, by its nature, pretty much all about the men. Even the name — you’re literally leading cheers for the dudes who are doing something.

Yeah, I’ve heard some people say it’s “not even a real job” and they should be “grateful for what they get,” yet they have no problem with the millions of dollars paid to each player of football, baseball, or basketball.

Experience AND a chance to build their cheer leading portfolio, which they can use to show off their work when they finally enter the high paid world of professional cheer leading. Oh wait.

I also loved the argument that these women shouldn’t complain and should actually be grateful because they get to hang around rich guys who may bestow trinkets upon them, or — the ultimate cheerleader ambition — marry them (because why else would anyone be a cheerleader, right?).

Nono, you’re mistaken; it’s not that they should be paid in experience. It’s that they are supposed to be grateful to be in the presence of wealthy professional athletes who might deign to let them be glorified prostitutes if they’re especially good at cheerleading.

Considering how much a franchise makes this is bullshit. Fucking pay them!

Uh oh, here come the assholes who think cheerleaders should only be paid in experience or some such right-wing twaddle.

These poor women can’t seem to catch a break; they’ve already seen their settlement get reduced by $1,000 between the headline and the first sentence of the post!
