Baltimore Sun Columnist Questions Morality Of Watching Violent Football...but Supports Abortion.
Baltimore Sun ^ | 10/06/13 | Susan Reimer

Posted on 10/06/2013 1:53:25 PM PDT by icwhatudo

Susan Reimer is a columnist for the the Baltimore Sun- a paper so liberal that Chris Mathews of MSNBC once laughed when a Philadelphia paper was incorrectly called centrist and he commented "About the only paper more liberal in America is the Baltimore Sun!"

Her latest piece for the Sun is an article entitled "The moral consequence of watching football"

In her column, she asks: "Is it morally acceptable to watch football when it is clear that the game is irretrievably harmful to those who play it?" and "How can you watch football when you know — and the players now know it, too — that your fellow humans are sacrificing themselves for your entertainment?"

Reading that Mrs. Reimer worries about morality and sacrificing fellow humans is interesting in light of her support for the ability to murder unborn babies. In a previous column she wrote "The Republican platform is an assault on the right of women to make their own reproductive choices, but that's not new."

So according to Mrs. Reimer, if you choose to watch grown men play tackle football, you are immoral. If you support the ability to murder unborn babies, you are supporting a woman's choice.

Is it any wonder that, with such logic, Mrs. Reimer finds a home at one of the most liberal papers in America?

Another clueless ditz in Barry’s state run “media”. So what else is new. She probably got the job by having a “compelling life story”.

Its not really that big of a stretch when you consider the undeveloped mind of the typical leftist. Football is masculine and must be stopped. Abortion enables women to live the progressive ideal, which is to be soulless whores, so it must be supported.

“So according to Mrs. Reimer, if you choose to watch grown men play tackle football, you are immoral. If you support the ability to murder unborn babies, you are supporting a woman’s choice.”

That about sums it up. Don’t ask liberalism to be logical or make sense because it won’t.

People with this same mentality are for abortions and against the death penalty.. There’s no way to understand people like that.

My comment after the article:

So in the world according to Susan Reimer, it’s immoral to enjoy watching grown men (who are paid millions of dollars) play the game they love, which includes tackling one another.

But it’s perfectly moral to use clamps, forceps, scissors and vacuum pumps to turn a healthy viable 8-month-old baby around in the womb, cut its spine, and suck its brains out in a partial-birth-abortion.

Thus we see the liberal mind at work.

He, and all pro abortionists, should watch an abortion, are many.

Out of respect for the child, at least.

Then we’ll have more honesty.

My argument against that moral relativism is always ‘but an unborn child is completely innocent of all and someone facing the death penalty has committed a crime so heinous they should give up their own life to benefit Society’. They rarely have a response after that.

Susan is being mean.
The football players are all wearing pink and she is still being mean.

The soulless columnist (communist?) probably is a dried-up hag or headed there fast. Her desire to neuter a male sport says a lot about her.

Susan Reimer is a bona fide member of the Trained Woman’s Assault Team.

Vile doesn’t begin to describe her.
