I think about Meyers Leonard last year, two years ago. Meyers Leonard, you know, he was a forward for The Heat who was caught. He was streaming on Steam playing, like, I cannot remember what game he was playing, and he used a pretty offensive term towards Jews. I think it was, like, Call of Duty. And we called him out. The Heat dropped him. He hasn't been picked up by another team. So he pretty much got cancelled. By the way, we've worked with Meyers over the years. We worked with him right away after that. He's done some good stuff with us calling out hate on video games since then. … He lost his whole career.

Our society is becoming more vulnerable by the day to hate on both the left and the right. Beset by a pandemic that has devasted communities, unsettled everyday life, and cost millions of jobs, people are on edge, ever more likely to blame the Other, whether it's Jews, immigrants, Blacks, Asians, Latinx, Muslims, members of the LGBTQ community—you name it. Deepening economic inequality magnifies the tension, as does inadequate health care, excessive levels of personal debt, and stresses caused by once-in-a-century natural disasters that now occur every year. In this environment, with hatred seething around us, the arrival of another demagogue—one smarter and more disciplined than Donald Trump—is all it would take to produce an explosion of violence, mass death, and the destruction of our society and democracy.
