Mia Khalifa is working to distance herself from the life of pornography that has made her famous. She will be publishing a regular column on FanSided titled Mia Khalifa’s Pick 6. Her first column was published today and touched on a wide range of topics, including the reactions by critics to the Colin Kaepernick protest.
Stand up or shut up
Look, I get it: Things need to change in this country. But if Colin Kaepernick is the one you’re upset with, you’re missing the point.
Kaepernick doesn’t piss me off. It’s all of these “respected” figures, coaches, commentators, and analysts (i.e. not Paul Finebaum) that are apologizing for voicing their opinions or back-peddling on their “poor phrasing.” Why the hell are you apologizing? If Kaep offends you with his actions to the point where you need to say something publicly, then you should be willing to stand by it with the same conviction as Kaepernick.
I can’t stand all the pressure to apologize being put on anyone disagreeing with these actions. You are not unpatriotic for having an opinion on this — no matter which side of the issue you fall on. If you think Kaepernick is doing is wrong, say it. This is supposed to be a conversation, not a competition to see who can shame the other person worse.
I love the pettiness. Let’s keep running that back.
Strong words by Khalifa, not sure of its purpose. All it does is tell people to stand by their convictions, which in a vacuum makes sense. She is right that people are not unpatriotic for having an opinion on this, regardless of the side they’re on. But, what good does this statement do? How and why is it relevant? Seems like something that will distract from the core issue that needs to be addressed.
