Where I think this conversation and where everything has literally gone off the deep end is how everyone now has an opinion and everybody needs to just relax a bit and don't think that everyone is trying to get everybody.

Elliot Friedman had a piece where Ron Francis in essence called the former owner of the Hurricane's a full blown liar. The former owner made the claim he would have fired Peter's in a second given the allegations. Francis says that was a lie and he was made aware.

Than we have Ron going on and on and on about how he doesn't see colour in people's skin and how he doesn't understand certain things due to his "white, male privilege" We than have a roundtable discussion with 4 different sports athletes and personalities who are black and they are discussing their thoughts and opinions on the topics.

The whole segment just seems really really weird. I get it's important to have a discussion and for people to air their opinions on the matter but now we are trying to go onto a different path. It's part of this division and part of this culture we have now where everybody is hyper sensitive about everything and it's leading to our demise.
