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.

They didn’t want anything to do with the movie. It was like the Pentagon on ‘Platoon.'”

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 […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
