Move over baseball. America, it seems, has a new pastime: Ripping to shreds any person who has an opinion different than your own. From the moment Tim McGraw announced that 100% of the proceeds from his July 17th concert in Hartford, Connecticut were going to benefit Sandy Hook Promise; a group whose purpose is to try and find ways to prevent tragedies like Sandy Hook from ever happening again, the internet exploded.
Gun rights advocates criticized McGraw for supporting a group that allegedly supports gun control (Interestingly, the Sandy Hook Promise mission statement seemingly says nothing of the kind). Gun control advocates criticized him for being a gun owner himself. It appeared as though no good deed could go unpunished.
