Yeah, newly retired former NFL player Doug Baldwin, you're a real authority on diversity. You didn't see it in the Seattle Seahawks's clubhouse and you sure don't see it in President Donald Trump's White House. As for you, Henry McKenna of For The Win blog (a subsidiary of USA Today), you're in a real position to preach about diversity, too, with your organization's near-complete progressive political complexion.
Baldwin (appearing in file photo) called it quits following last season after eight seasons as a wide receiver with the Seahawks ("SeaActivists" is the better nickname for that team of social justice warriors) in a league that's 70 percent African-American. Maybe that's why he reacted the way he did to a photo of the White House's Saturday send-off for former Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders:
If it weren't for double standards, progressives would have no standards at all! It's A-OK for the Seahawks and NFL to operate in a diversity vacuum though.
Back to For The Win's McKenna, who posted six negative tweets about the complexion of the White House staff giving Sanders a fond farewell. They included:
Bobby Lewis: "i don't see a single black person in this photo"
David Mack, deputy director, breaking news at BuzzFeedNews: "is elaine chao the only person of color in this photo"
Playboy contributor Amee Vanderpool: "AMAZING diversity in this room."
Proud Navy Veteran (and anti-Trump political junkie): "A very White House indeed . . . no POC in the picture.@PressSec you are morally corrupt racist & habitual liar.
"Anyone who had performed the job with honor wouldn't need to state they will leave with their 'head held high.'
"Their actions would have already said that for them."a-n-n: "This is the Whitest House ever lmao"
McKenna also posted these 2018 anti-Trump quotes by Baldwin, who, as an active player, defended the social justice warriors who disrespected the flag and the freedom fighters who risked it all in defense of liberty:
“He’s an idiot, plain and simple. I mean, listen, I respect the man because he’s a human being, first and foremost. But he’s being more divisive, which is not surprising. It is what it is.
“But for him to say anybody who doesn’t follow his viewpoints, or his constituent’s viewpoints should be kicked out of the country, it’s just not very empathetic. It’s not very American-like, to me. It’s not very patriotic. It’s not what this country was founded upon. So it’s kind of ironic to me that the President of the United States is contradicting what our country is really built on.”
McKenna finished his Trump hit piece by saying Baldwin gave up football, "but he doesn’t seem interested in removing himself from the national discussion." The topics of football and protest can hardly be called a "discussion" by the media, though. There's even less media objectivity on politics and the anthem issue than there is diversity in the NFL.
