we understand what you're saying. we're just not drawing the same conclusions.

just took a look at it out of curiosity - this bitch literally said WASP women shouldn't date Jews and planned to celebrate her newly semite-free dating life with a cocktail garnished with bacon. comparing Mora's comments to that is... quite a reach, to say the least.

not sure how calling him an asshole for what he said was defending him. but you called it veiled antisemitism, which connotes intent. there is no indication that there was any intent of antisemitism with his comments, and you agree that he probably didn't have any intention of doing so. so not sure what you're disagreeing with here. if your argument is just that the optics of making those comments about a Jewish player are problematic because they fall in line with antisemitic tropes and so shouldn't be used, then we agree.

nobody was caping for mora. and yeah his comments were a bad look, on multiple levels. but you didn't say it was about it being a bad look, you said it was antisemitism. if it's about it being a bad look, then yeah I don't think anyone was disagreeing with that (at least I wasn't.)
