It's an opinion piece, but as I'm told it was on the cover of USA Today. So if we're keeping score, we had the 2016 Oscars pilloried because a bunch of Academy voters (who are overwhelmingly progressive leftists) weren't exactly diverse in their nominees. We've since then seen other awards shows lecture us about other topics. We've had Starbucks trying to lecture us on race relations while waiting for our non-fat mocha frappuchino grande. We've seen the un-funny Seth Rogen and even un-funnier Amy Schumer steal money in their moronic "Bud Light Party" ad campaigns that were long on left-wing talking points and short on humor. We paid more attention to a poor football team led by an even worse coach all because a player wanted attention for something other than his craft. We've seen musical acts pull concert dates from a state that disagrees with them on bathroom (and locker room) use, while punishing their fans in the process. We've seen wave after wave of celebrity PSAs imploring one group after another to stand up for what's right. We can't turn on the TV, we can't go to a concert, we can watch a commercial, we can't watch a football game, heck we can't even get an overpriced lite caramel macchiato with whipped cream and Splenda without being inundated with political messages. And now when someone mercifully DOESN'T want to talk about politics, before the biggest TV and social event of the year, some people feel he ought to speak out anyway. And we wonder why FaceBook looks like it does these days, and people feel like they're constantly being attacked. Or, perhaps we don't wonder that at all...
