He acknowledged he had a meeting with Giants CEO Larry Baer and said that he was not invited to the ceremony because of his support for President Trump and his “locker room humor.”

I disapprove of them excluding him but some of those tweets are a bit injudicious. The unfortunate truth is that these days writing on social media sets your every thought into hard concrete, and can and will be used against you. Edward Snowden warned about this (and he wasn’t just talking about the NSA) about the difference between a verbal conversation and social media, and how the former evaporates for the most part, but the latter essentially amounts to not just mind-reading, but making a permanent record of your thoughts. Unfortunately we can no longer treat social media like the local coffee house or bar anymore, and speak our mind without considering the consequences of it not only being recorded, but being instantly accessible to everyone on the entire planet.

True, but combined with all your purchases, hobbies, and entertainment history, no doubt somebody is developing profiling predictions to nail your unexpressed thoughts through sheer statistical data analysis.

Add speech on social media, FB, Twitter, etc., and an accurate profile easily emerges for these companies and organizations. They are most likely using some form of AI which is scary, and getting scarier which can not only determine current "thoughts", but determine future ones.

The nfl and mlb are lost in the fog of social justice, pop culture and ignorant adoration of group think.

Not that I watch it, but from what I read and hear in the media so is the NBA. Surprise, surprise. I hardly watch any pro sports anymore. I watch a LITTLE college basketball now and then because my alma mater has a good program.

CORRECT. But that's not going to stop powers that be from claiming to know your thoughts. They're doing it already with red flag laws, civil asset forfeiture, to name just two examples.
