I'm pretty proud to say I graduated Berkeley. I tell everyone that knows me I graduated as a Socialist/Communist but then I moved away, saw, heard, read, experienced, stopped being indoctrinated then come to realization and decided to no longer take the "Blue" pill. Life is so much clearer now. Kudos to Aaron for realizing the same.

So let me get this straight: Aaron calls criticism of his "I still own you" statement an example of political correctness and cancel culture!?

Here's the question: Where the hell is the criticism? If people connected to the Bears are offended, well, yeah, that's understandable. But is that PC culture? Is that cancel culture?

Can somebody point me to a media member (again, not associated with the Bears) who found what Rodgers said offensive? Serious question!

I follow hundreds of sports media members on Twitter, and they all found his comment hilarious.

But even if there was criticism: Who cares? Why does Rodgers care?

He did it. He knew it would be controversial? Why is he so sensitive about reaction to his comments?

And what does reaction to his comments have to do with cancel culture? Is he being canceled? Do people (again, other than the Bears) want him canceled?

The funny thing is Rodgers is denouncing people being overly sensitive and "woke," yet here he is being overly sensitive and woke about (non-existent) criticism about himself.

If they awarded medals in the Oppression Olympics, I think Rodgers may have earned at least a silver.

Just look at what's happening to Dave Chappelle. People are walking out of jobs at Netflix calling for his head…I think it's kind of like that.

The point is he is declaring his distaste for "Woke" culture which is a very good thing for a public figure like Aaron to do!

To repeat: Rodgers is complaining about being overly insensitive and woke while being overly insensitive and woke about himself.

Can you answer this question: What does he and his actions have to do with P.C. culture and cancel culture?

He wants to be oppressed by cancel culture, but who the hell is oppressing him?

He suffers from the victim mentality that he denounces.

People are walking out of their jobs tomorrow because of Netflix's handling of the Dave Chappelle special.

Hell, one of the leaders of the walkout, Netflix engineer Terra Field, who is trans and who was suspended last week, published an essay titled "It Was Never About Dave."


And here's Dear White People showrunner Jaclyn Moore.

AR is a pretty sharp guy. He's sort of playing everybody (including hanky... and me). I'm proud to call him a Cal alum!

That's my read as well he seems to be poking fun at the oversensitive nature of those who fear the 'woke' bogeyman

Coincidence then I guess…but Im very skeptical due to the timing and location of it all. Call me gullible.

Way to make the headline of the post fit your agenda....ridiculous. Think he wants his name off of the Cal locker room, or you didn't quite get that far??
But I appreciate you loving someone who was and is totally supportive of BLM...

Why so much attention to something from a tabloid newspaper owned by Rupert Murdoch? Whose agenda and/or buttons are being pushed?

It's pretty obvious that Rodgers' career has been driven by his mentality that nobody believes in him and that he wants to prove the haters wrong. He's far from the first great athlete to have been driven by this mentality. It is what it is.

often when i read about all this type of crap I am just reminded of Joan Rivers

GROW UP

people are so damn sensitive, wonder how they make it thru life? Is this a product of the self esteem enhancing that went on .. no one is a loser LOL yah shure as my swedish grandpappy would have said

I once got called out for making a Swedish joke, no defense that I am swedish .. the poor young swedish girl was upset so I had to apologize ..

woke sucks

As far as I can tell, Rodgers reacted to a Bears fan giving him the finger with the comment that he owns them. He was being interviewed at the time. Big deal.

But, as a progressive, I've heard Rogers on conservative and reactionary broadcasts and I don't really like what I hear.

Rogers is a great NFL player but I'm not sure I'm all that proud that he came out of Cal (a progressive institution) and I'm pretty sure he isn't either.

I'd look to the Chico area as a better representation of who he is and what he's about. And that is probably why he does not mention Cal but mentions Butte instead. It's intentional.

Rogers strikes me as a somewhat immature sourpuss who thinks he is smart politically because many are frustrated with the same things. He's sort of like Trump in that way.

There is a strong movement in this country that believes the country would be better off run by guys like him instead of politicians.

I respectfully disagree with that but it makes him sort of a leader to that group.

But I seriously doubt that Rogers has thought seriously about any of the issues he speaks out about, even though he acts like he has.

how can you call a school that soen't allow free speech progressive?

I would suggest to stop seeing the world in terms of blue/red pills, stay clear of binary tribal thinking, winning/losing, and just have honest open conversations about making the world as good a place we can make it for as many people as possible.

Just using the terms "woke cancel culture" tells you a lot about where he aligns beliefs-wise, from who else reflexively uses those terms. And his continued relationship with Barstool tells you he doesn't give a crap about their problematic platform. A Cal degree doesn't produce a monolithic graduate block or outlook, which is a good thing. Personally, can leave his non-football takes, don't think he has a lot to say.

The Free Speech Movement was born at Cal and it probably died there too thanks to progressive thinking.

split personality? went to Stanfurd and "you see Berkeley"

there are so many mentally ill people out there wandering around ..

Personally I believe that everyone is a bit crazy ( see someone rooting for Cal for almost 70 years) but there are way too many that should be under care ..

Reagan and the pols got rid of a lot of mental health care and we see that on the streets as we avoid poop and pee

what a country , no wonder everyone wants to come here to live LOL

I know what he says to the media and it's weak. And, unless Shailene Woodley is a ventriloquist that sounds and looks like ARod, it really doesn't matter who she is. I'm not basing my comments on any 3rd party. I'm basing it on what Aron has said.

Nobody knows anybody, really. How many family members, friends and neighbors of murders had a completely different idea of who the murderer is/was. You don't know me either. So stop spewing nonsense.

You make a good point but it is probably more progressive than a lot of Universities and at least it has a progressive tradition.

The Free Speech Movement was a student lead movement against the university's restrictions of student protests supporting the Civil Rights movement and against the Vietnam War.

So, as others have noted, hanky does a 180 on Rodgers because the QB recently said some things that vaguely align with the OP's political beliefs.

Moreover, the OP is ecstatic that he can twist Rodgers' words into a diatribe against Cal - hanky's school - and Cal alumni.

Do take care of yourself, hanky.

What the heck is this thread about? AR was talking trash in the heat of victory. He has always distanced himself from Cal. Too bad for him. Hate to be him next time the Packers play the Bears. There may be some extra-curricula rough stuff during and after plays….
