May 30, 20188 yr What she said in that tweet is indefensible. It's funny how popular she is in light of how worked up people are over football players kneeling for the National Anthem, even though what she did to the anthem was far more disrespectful. I would say many people have no idea what your talking about. Didn’t this incident happen almost 30 years ago. You almost have to be 45/50 to even remember it. And I agree, what she she did then and what she said now is indefensible.
May 30, 20188 yr It's only a guess on my part, but I'm betting many that are supporting Barr, are very against the kneeling NFL players and supporting an NFL boycott. I'm against both. I see more justification in the way the NFL players are handling their situation even though I don't fully support it - I understand. In this day and age - there is no one perfect way to protest anything without someone having taken offense. I could protest having chicken dinners fed to every human being to protest world hunger and someone would take offense to the chicken not providing full nutrients to those in need or whatever. I'm just so done with all protesting - people just need to live their lives and stay out of other's lives. Roseanne Barr should just fade into oblivion. Why she was ever awarded a resurgence is unknown to me

And I agree, what she she did then and what she said now is indefensible. True. It happened in 1990. But it has been brought up by many when her show was brought back. And it’s been universally ignored, despite its relevance, especially by those who support her right to “free speech” yet vilify Kaep and the other NFL players who knelt. Kneeling is unforgivable, yet crotch grabbing and spitting is.

May 30, 20188 yr Rosanne fouled out and will now sit on the bench next to Kathy Griffin. #reallystupidcelebritymoves
May 30, 20188 yr It's only a guess on my part, but I'm betting many that are supporting Barr, are very against the kneeling NFL players and supporting an NFL boycott. No one on here that is against the kneeling NFL players seem to be supporting her.
May 30, 20188 yr No one on here that is against the kneeling NFL players seem to be supporting her. Thank goodness that BGP is the exception to the rule more often than not. It’s pretty ugly out there.
May 30, 20188 yr Thank goodness that BGP is the exception to the rule more often than not. It’s pretty ugly out there. I agree. The things I see on social media from all sides of any given issue is pathetic. Society seems to have regressed horribly.
May 30, 20188 yr Most of the following I do is business related for within my industry. Every now and then though, I check other things out. In this instance I just took a glance at Fox News' tweet when they announced. The comments there supporting her are like a trainwreck.....I spent a few minutes reading those comments, and some of those tweets supporting her are so crazy, it's laughable. I only see them when I click on the comments. I did delete a "friend" on Facebook who defended the comment. PSA....Never, under any circumstances, read the comments section on an internet post, article, tweet, etc...
May 30, 20188 yr No one on here that is against the kneeling NFL players seem to be supporting her. That is correct, and I never said anyone was. My posts have been been related to my earlier comment about the masses who have been responding on twitter in support of her. I should also say, I think the folks that are supporting her are in the minority, and most are ok with the cancellation.
May 30, 20188 yr PSA....Never, under any circumstances, read the comments section on an internet post, article, tweet, etc... I know I shouldn’t. But sometimes, I just can’t help myself.
May 30, 20188 yr I wonder how all of this plays out with the paychecks of her coworkers on the show including the production staff. Are they somehow protected by wording in their contracts or are they just out with no future pay? If the last is true, could they take her to court for lost wages? ....and will they?
