That being said, I completely agree with those who are pissed off that Phil's being dumped on for speaking his opinion. Phil is quoted, in no uncertain terms, about his beliefs concerning what is considered sin, and his comments are definitely, to someone like myself, very homophobic and borderline hateful. Smells a bit like a set-up to me, but maybe I'm just reading too much into it. Now that we've done that, let me start by pointing out the contradiction of having someone like Phil, who has a 'no swearing' policy for his business and his show, doing an interview with a reporter who repeatedly uses the words 'shit' and 'fuck' in his article. (insert music from Metallica's S&M album here while we wait) I'll wait for you while you go back and give it a gander. It's available online at gq.com, and I read it twice before I wrote this. Sounds just like the pot of shit I like to keep stirring up.įirst things first: If you have an opinion about this situation and HAVEN'T read the GQ article, shut the fuck up until you have. There's something controversial out there? Guess we better break it down and screw up the outrage by injecting some logic into the argument. That suspension has led to an outcry from those who believe he's being wrongfully persecuted for speaking his opinion, and put A&E into a very unenviable position. Those comments are considered by many to be extremely homophobic and hateful, and have led A&E to suspend Phil from taping of the upcoming season of the show 'indefinitely'. They are also the subject of the show Duck Dynasty on the A&E network.Īs you know, Phil's come under fire for his comments in the January issue of GQ magazine. Phil and his family are the owners of the Duck Commander line of duck calls and other hunting gear. Okay, now that I've got that out of the way, let's jump into the discussion of the 800 pound gorilla in the room and talk about the much-embattled Phil Robertson.īy this point, I shouldn't have to give you any background on him, but I will anyway for those who might not be aware. That's not reality, and that's why I'm not a fan. If it's not scripted in the truest sense, then it's 'organized' into some way to get the shots that will garner maximum ratings. I do NOT watch reality television, and I don't for the very simple reason that most reality television isn't real. Let me also throw out a second admission. So, I just want to make it very clear that I am PRO hunting. It's about the peace and calm of being in the outdoors, which is why they can keep dragging themselves out there time and time again, regardless of whether or not they succeed in their mission to bring home the game.

I have friends and family members who hunt and do it well, as well as responsibly, and I have nothing but respect for their ability to do so.įor them, it's about more than just the hunt.

It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I don't have the patience to sit in the woods and wait for something to come to me in order to shoot it. Let me begin this entry with an admission.
