    I thought kickers usually avoided the kind of brain damage that would explain what could only be described as a blatant attempt to get canceled.

      a blatant attempt to get canceled.

      Except “getting cancelled” isn’t a thing, the right will embrace him and give him the platform which is what he is actually aiming for, and he’ll be on all their podcasts, and sponsor their brands, and keep most of his fans and gain more, and create a whole comfortable living for himself from being a bigot, like so so so many others before him.
