Which Is It?

Cole Beasley plays for the Bills.

He’s an outspoken critic of the vaccine, and if you can follow his reasoning as to why, well, you’re smarter than me.

He’s all over the place.

Regardless.

He’s not vaccinated. 

The fans who go to watch him catch a ball (my puppy can catch a ball) seem to have him high on a pedestal due to the fact that he wears the home laundry.

Regardless.

This week after the game, Beasley scolded the fans on Twitter because he heard boos when he touched the ball. He doesn’t think they should boo.

So, he can say what he wants (and he can) but fans can’t?

Which is it?

Free to speak your mind, or not?

He is also very loud about how his vaccination status is his choice..

“My body, my choice,” is his rallying cry.

How does that work when it’s about a woman’s right to choose?

That doesn’t work for that crowd.

 “Your body, my choice,” is screamed out loud in those instances.

Beasely’s home state just drastically passed laws to that effect last month.

Which is it?

And as for Beasley speaking out after the game?

He certainly believes that what he believes should be front and center every weekend. 

He’s screamed his opinion to everyone who will listen and he believes he has earned the right to be listened to.

But when you kneel down before the anthem?

Or when LeBron speaks out on what he’s perceived to be a social injustice, well, those guys are told to ‘shut up and dribble’ or to keep their thoughts to themselves.

A sporting event is not the forum to discuss a social issue…

…unless it’s about your right to not be vaccinated?

I’m confused.

Which is it?
