Pratt’s shirt sparked a few Twitter comments, but the story didn’t turn into much more. (Photo: @hunterharris Twitter)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hollywood actor and outspoken outdoor enthusiast Chris Pratt woke up on Tuesday to an article linking the “Guardians of the Galaxy” star to both gun enthusiasts and racists. Yahoo Movies UK posted an image of Pratt wearing a t-shirt depicting a modified Gadsden flag, and the accompanying article claimed that the flag is both a symbol of \u201cgun-toting supporters of the Second Amendment\u201d and is meant to convey \u201cracially-tinged messages.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlthough it is one of the symbols and flags used by the\nU.S. Men\u2019s Soccer Team, Metallica, as well as some libertarian groups, over the\nyears the flag has been adopted by Far Right political groups like the Tea\nParty, as well as gun-toting supporters of the Second Amendment,\u201d read the\noriginal piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt has therefore become a symbol of more conservative and\nfar right individuals and, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity\nCommission of the US, it also is \u2018sometimes interpreted to convey\nracially-tinged messages in some contexts.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To justify the story as newsworthy, the author embedded tweets from three or four unverified Twitter users expressing outrage at Pratt\u2019s shirt choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tim Byrnes, for example, who has a grand total of 601\nfollowers, somehow warranted inclusion in this bombshell report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like him, but all these small things about his politics makes me wonder when he\u2019ll say something transphobic, tank his career, and do the full heel-turn into a Fox commentator https:\/\/t.co\/Emfzd02GmK<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Tim Byrnes (@timbyrnes89) July 16, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n

The story quickly faced criticism, and not only from Pratt\u2019s\nlawyers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jonah Goldberg, former Senior Editor at the conservative\noutlet National Review, pointed out the non-racial history of the Gadsden flag.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shame on \u2066@Yahoo<\/a>\u2069 for this trash. A handful of dumb twitter comments isn\u2019t a news story you click-baiting parasites. There nothing white supremacist about that T-shirt.
It\u2019s like everyone wants to be stupid and make everything worse. https:\/\/t.co\/TVNeLUGUAc<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Jonah Goldberg (@JonahNRO) July 17, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n

Even some less conservative voices chimed in. Washington Post senior political reporter Aaron Blake wrote<\/a> in an op-ed,\n\u201cThe media took a bold, largely unprecedented step this week to call Trump\u2019s\ntweets \u2018racist.\u2019 Then Yahoo News did its best to undermine the whole exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current version of the article\nhas removed the paragraph about racism and no longer mentions white supremacism.\nThe retraction at the top reads, \u201cThis article was updated on 17 July with the\ninitial headline, \u2019Chris Pratt criticised for \u2018white supremacist\u2019 T-shirt\u2019\nbeing amended to \u2018Chris Pratt criticised for T-shirt choice.’ References to\nWhite Supremacism in this article have been removed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pratt has largely stayed away from politics during his rise from supporting actor in Parks and Recreation <\/em>to A-list celebrity. But while he rarely makes openly political statements, he isn\u2019t shy about his love of hunting, shooting, and the outdoors, hobbies that have sparked criticism among Hollywood types. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 2018 TV Guide article<\/a>, for example, takes issue with Pratt\u2019s \u201cproblematic aspects of his life offscreen.\u201d TV Guide includes Pratt\u2019s \u201clove of hunting\u201d at the top of this list and criticized the \u201centhusiastic tone he took when speaking about \u2018eating fresh farm-to-table lamb.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behind some of the criticism is a 2012 interview Pratt gave with Outdoor Life<\/a> in which he describes the reasons he likes to hunt, his favorite rifles, and his dream trophy room. The entire interview is worth a read, but here\u2019s an excerpt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s true that there aren’t a ton of hunters in Hollywood. That being said, the people I’ve talked to about it are actually fascinated with the subject. I think I’ve changed a few minds regarding the sport. It’s pretty incredible how little people actually know about hunting. Most people don’t even realize there are seasons or tags. They don’t understand the regulations or conservation benefits of hunting. I get a lot of, “Well as long as you eat the meat, I don’t care.” I have to be honest with them though. My passion for hunting is not simply the result of a need to feed myself. There’s grocery stores for that! I’m not eating ground hog or coyote! Sometimes people don’t understand and I don’t waste my breath trying to explain it. Either you get it or you don’t. But for the most part people aren’t judgmental about it. We just disagree and move on.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Gadsden flag is named after American general and politician\u00a0Christopher Gadsden\u00a0(1724\u20131805), who designed it in 1775 during the\u00a0American Revolution. It was used by the\u00a0Continental Marines\u00a0as an early motto flag. The original flag featured a yellow background with the snake and text depicted on Pratt’s shirt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
