You can't just wave away posting numerous white supremacist talking points with an apology to your bosses. That shit ain't just simple joking around. Not to mention the many PERSONAL attacks he made against people that are now his co-workers. I'm glad someone had the time to bring this up to Big E while he's in his "idgaf I'm at home right now" mode. This went too far under the radar before. Hey now, it could have been an amazing coincidence he saw he had to be remorseful just as it was affecting him getting his dream job, what bigger sign of a genuine change of heart than talking to management!

Just an addition to the story, but it seems that WWE management knew about Lars' posts, but consider it a dead issue since he talked to them an apologized for it. Makes them having him almost exclusively attack minorities a lot more uncomfortable. 411mania.com/wrestling/big-e-responds-lars-sullivan-comments/Oh so that’s all it takes. Just apologize to Vince and everything is solved. Vince I got a dead hooker in the car Damn pal, well boys will be boys, everything will be ok, Patterson will clean everything up.

Yeah, I guess I thought they were like those muscle mags that tell you how to get massive gains in 3 weeks rather than this insane Lars stuff.

Honestly, any forum can easily turn to what that bodybuilding forum did without good moderation of any kind. I’ve seen some good places go to utter shit very quickly.

My point is the company doesn’t care about your emotional capital. Be careful not to cut yourself on that edge, bro. Everyone just ignoring the fact I used a Vince example of making a revival do “gay stuff” as a means to embarrass them? And I’m no way towing a company line I don’t even watch or support? IF Lars is a white supremacist he is in good company. With Vince and all the other hateful executives.

Looking at the reddit stuff he even makes digs at current top stars like AJ and Bryan, granted that was more about their talent/size but still I don’t expect him to be a part of the roster by years end

Vince isn't going to do squat until it costs him money, he's too closely aligned with a certain individual pushing an agenda a lot like Lars and is hoping to piggyback on them to relaunch the XFL with the same putrid agenda.
Mattel will probably be the driving force behind his firing when they indicate they intend to put out an action figure of him there will be pushback.

I've always been of a mindset that having a racist person work in a company that forces them to surround themselves with minorities would be a much better way of potentially healing them than firing them and casting them off. If they are forced to interact with minorities, they'll find out that they're people too, just with different skin color or different sexual orientations or different points of view. But by firing them, you shove them back into their insulated bubble where they'll dig themselves even deeper into the perception that the different people are worse than them.

An ordinary company, sure, I can see it, but the WWE are a company where they have a culture of casual racism at a management level so is just as likely to further ingrain his BS as these rich people in positions of power all agree and are giving him a platform to boot.

Yeah, so as the roar is dying down, this looks like it's going to get swept under the rug again.
I don't think it'll pick up traction a third time. If no one real picks up the story this time, Lars isn't going to face any penalty for being a racist piece of shit.

If true it is a done deal. They knew he apologized BEFORE controversy. All I need to cut dude a break. No need to repost the same shit from November just cause trolls couldn’t get another troll fired "he told them that he was wrong, and that he was remorseful" Sounds to me like he wasn't a troll, so stomping around just claiming over and over like somehow you know he was only ironically sharing actual white supremacist propaganda is just kind of a bad look. Are you saying you can't feel remorseful about things said while trolling? *Let me be clear: I don't believe he was trolling. Just thought this was odd. Besides, what else is he going to say to his employer? "It's all good Big Mac, I was just messin'.."

I mean Cena, Orton, HBK, And HHH all got Kennedy fired who was a decently big star back then. I’m sure if he feels remorseless or if his apologies aren’t genuine then a decent portion of the locker room will want Lars gone as well, and I’m sure locker room leaders such as Roman and Bryan will join in especially considering he didn’t have nice things to say about the latter

"It was all a joke, I'm sorry, I realize now it's not that funny" isn't "I was wrong to say those things". We have such a vague and minimal description but I feel like if he were owning up to it as a joke we would have heard an angle that tried to deflect off of it and into how those weren't serious.
