The reason why it is important is because if we are to in effect cancel people for moral failings and/or alleged crimes, where does that line get drawn and by whom and how do we ensure the right to cancellations isn't abused?Ha. Can only laugh at such a ridiculous thing to say to this situation.
Why were you bringing up Suarez if you actually felt that?
Anyways, I'm not going to flood the United thread on this topic as they've gotta better things to talk about I think and my views in this are clear enough.
For example, OJ Simpson was tried for the murder of his wife and her friend and found not guilty but I think he did it... R. Kelly was accused of serious sexual and child abuse crimes, tried and convicted, and I believe he did do it... Bill Cosby was accused of sexual crimes dating back decades and tried and convicted but the convictions later quashed because of improprieties by the prosecutor's office which was unfortunately, right to do but I think Cosby did a lot of what he was accused of doing... Michael Jackson was accused several times of pedophilia, he paid off the first accuser, was tried for a subsequent accusation but acquitted, and I don't think he did any of it
There's too much grey in these sort of situations to believe you can properly judge who should and shouldn't be cancelled
And I brought up the Suarez incident because those in glass houses should not throw stones
