NFL quarterback Brett Favre was met with a wave of criticism after he failed to clap enthusiastically enough at the 2015 ESPY awards ceremony when transgender Bruce Jenner was given an award for “Courage” because of his efforts to become a woman named “Caitlyn.”

Mocking the media campaign against Favre, historian Paul Kengor has made a comparison to the Soviet Union under dictator Joseph Stalin, where dissidents where told, “Never be the first one to stop clapping.”

Blazing Saddles is running on one of my movie channels this month, unaltered from the original. Still hilarious.

Good observation. I get the impression that that’s the environment in some schools: if a child isn’t prepared to denounce everything he’s been taught at home, that’s suspicious.

It would be funny. They’ve already got women athletes as near naked as public broadcast allowed ... but I bet naked men wouldn’t draw nearly as many viewer’s eyes.

It was the tigers that got churned into butter.

And thence into pancakes.

Maybe they’re upset about an Indian getting credit for being black. Indians can’t be black: they do well in school and get good jobs!

Or like during every Hitler Youth meeting, each member had to denounce at least one person.

We have become the Soviet Union to the point of "proper applause enthusiasm".

historian Paul Kengor Never heard of the idiot.

Please read the article. Paul Kengor is a strong conservative. He’s certainly not on the side of the people/idiots slamming Favre for not clapping loud enough.

No, he’s right. Despite the headline, Mr. Kengor did not compare the critic to Stalin. He compared the environment in which the event occurred to Stalinist Russia.

I saw a video interview with Brooks...seems like a couple of years ago, and he said there is no way Blazing Saddles could be made today.

One of my all-time favorite movies.

Brett Favre never impressed me as being a pc jerk. So why would he clap for someone prancing around mentally ill and getting an award for it?

No I did not miss the point

I read the article given Brett is a homeboy literally

The historian in question is defending Brett and comparing the Brett haters over faggotry to Stalinists

Folks here who did not bother to read it thought the historian was bashing Brett

They are the ones who missed the point

hat tip tax chick
