This was brought about by complaints by GLAAD accusing Martin of homophobia and of inciting violence against gays and lesbians.  I think that goes a bit further than accusing him of simple political incorrectness. It's chilling.

We've created a culture of walking on eggshells around each other, and in which "I'm Offended!" is a social super-weapon that smites anyone who incurs it wrath.

Oh, but we're not thought police. Oh no no. That would be mean, and we're not mean. What we are is caring and sensitive to other people's feelings.
- Dolores Umbridge

I am not a fan of Roland Martin, but it looks like the Political Correctness people have gone crazy on him.  I am not sure all of the tweets have been presented, but the ones I see seem to be saying soccer players are whimps and football players are real men.  That makes sense to me.
