Academy Award-winning screenwriter and director Oliver Stone revealed some eye-opening observations on a variety of topics in a new interview. Stone condemned cancel culture , sneered at the NFL, and delivered his opinion on female politicians such as Hillary Clinton.
Stone reminisced about his film, “Any Given Sunday,” a 1999 movie about professional football players, but the NFL refused to give Stone its blessing to use any aspect related to the National Football League. “Any Given Sunday” was reportedly delayed four times and production crews were locked out of NFL stadiums.
“They (the NFL) are arrogant, very rich people who close down any dissent, so I had to change uniforms and names … but they got the point,” Stone told the Independent .
This isn’t the first time that Stone has bashed the NFL for not allowing him to use the league in his sports film.
“At that time, the commissioner of football [Paul Tagliabue] was an a* **hole. God, what an arrogant a**hole, I’m sorry,” Stone told The Ringer in 2019. “The NFL’s attitude is: ‘This is our domain and no one can f*** with us.’ They’re all private and they have billionaire owners and they’re pretty tough. They didn’t want anything to do with the movie. It was like the Pentagon on ‘Platoon.'”
“The NFL didn’t want people to see that these football players are just like the rest of society,” former NFL tight end Jamie Williams told Complex in 2015. “These are guys that do too many drugs or spend their money unwisely, but then they go out on Sunday and are gladiators. None of these guys are boy scouts, not even the quarterbacks.”
The 74-year-old Oscar-winning director of “Platoon” and “Wall Street” also talked about female politicians, where he made an eyebrow-raising remark about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. When asked about the #MeToo movement and the “challenging of old gender norms,” Stone replied, “It cuts both ways, though.”

“There are reasons for patriarchy through the centuries,” Stone responded. “Tribes tend to have a strong leader.”
“You need strong leaders, but I do see the feminine impulse as being important, especially when […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
