    Didn’t Kimmel get back on air and sorta half-ass apologize? The whole thing reminded me of the bullshit where Jerry Jones made a show of taking a knee with his players while the anthem was NOT playing.

    Did the boycott work, or did they do something that made it look like it?

      The right wanted him to grovel in pain. He did not. The left wanted him to flip off the network and say kirk got what he deserved. He did not.

      He reiterated his prior message that he felt empathy for the family.

      He noted that what he said wasn’t at all what they claimed before they threw a tantrum and tried to cancel him.

      And he called out the assholes who overstepped to make this all happen.

      It was balanced. I don’t think either side got what they wanted.
