The thing w Tony is he wants good ppl as much as possible backstage and perceived, i can respect that. But really it's all speculation because all of what's been reported is unconfirmed. Taking a few weeks off tv ain't no sweat imi

Esp as the new guys and the inclusive family image, I understand why the best course of action is take him off , let it simmer, n move on

yes but when your rap alienates a demographic n brings you negative attention as a new company you kind of have to care

I think there has to be a good middle ground. Don’t go full on PC as fuck, but at the same time you can’t exactly keep up shitty behavior because it’s how it was in the past.

But also kayfabe is dead n like it or not they are public figures . There's no rewinding the clock simply because it did not offend you personally . Just have to accept it legitimately offended some ppl in a non good way for tge image of the company

The way I see it is this, people and society change as we learn new things and values change. Sometimes it is for the better or other times it isn't, but I think we kind of need to acknowledge that change. Adapt, but also learn what works and what doesn't. Then when we look at stuff that hasn't aged well, maybe go "Ah, that was fun back then," but maybe be thankful we improved in other ways.

Freedom of speech/expression also does not mean a freedom from criticism. You can say something stupid, or do something stupid, but you can face society's consequences
