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.'"

What is Oliver Stoned smoking this time and how soon before he returns to visit Cuba?
We’re in a period of time of such rampant chaos, Oliver Stone is starting to make sense.
Back and to the left, I guess.
Hillary Clinton wants to be a man
ROTFLOL
This is the first time I can ever recall when I actually agree with Ollie.
Wow.
“Oliver Stone is starting to make sense”
No he doesn’t. It is an elementary observation, that the NFL thing is stupid.
That shouldn’t give this sick America hating kook any credibility points.
I was actually referring to his observation that Hillary Clinton wants to be a man.
I thought HRC was a man......
That is what Huma thought.....
You mean Hillary Clinton isn’t a man?
Hillary is an it.
When did he start figuring this stuff out?
You may have that flipped, I think Huma wore the strapon.
Not just Stone. Matt Taibbi and Glen Greenwald are writing articles about the Left that could have been written by Hannity except they’re literate.
Incredibly satisfying to watch that again.
Did I wake up this morning in a different Universe?
It was also ‘leftist’ like Aaron Mate, who constantly called out blue anon and their Trump russia collusion conspiracies.
Wow. What dicks. He still made a great film, even with the wacky uniforms.
And he’s totally correct on that one!
