WIDE OPEN WEDNESDAY: America Divided

Oops! Did I Say That? (NOT FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS YOU WON'T!)

1 of 1

Every fall the NFL has the nation’s attention. This year, it’s attention the league doesn’t want and the league is reacting. So are those who feel entitled to speak out about it. After all, it’s their job. But Jemele Hill, empowered after ESPN refused to discipline her for attacking the president, decided to go after NFL sponsors (they also sponsor ESPN) and THAT got her suspended. The NFL is still a PC world as Cam Newton found out last week!

It’s not just sports, business is being bitten by the PC bug and Dove, even though crafting a great commercial, is apologizing to the perpetually offended crowd. We’ve even created an industry around it and those working it are suffering because of it. And we have iconic music that, if we live by the mantra, will be wiped out!

And the beat goes on…on a WIDE OPEN WEDNESDAY. What’s on YOUR mind?
