Colin Kapernick was blacklisted for taking a knee, now was that wrong or were teams making a financial decision that signing him would hurt their business? I dunno CK was a flash in the pan and NFL teams realized that and didn't need him for his diminished physical skills and his other baggage. Besides, he's the one that voided his contract with SF. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the consumer chooses not to not to purchase products from a company for that company's political or other views. That is not the the same as intentionally trying to ruin the company. If Kaepernick was blacklisted simply for his political views, then that would be wrong. If any NFL tem chose not to employ him because of the negative impact on their team, then that is an entirely different scenario and the teams would be free to look after their own financial interests. It is the difference between firing you for your political beliefs and firing/not hiring you based on the damage your behavior would do to my company. The intent is what bothers me. If your intent is to ruin somebody's life simply because you disagree with their views, then I can find nothing decent in that. Who’s life is being ruined by the Goya boycott? 41 minutes ago, fansince88 said: Are you actually trying to use reason with Tibs? Fu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Yes! Unlike Trump’s super spreader rallies TOPLINE Protests against systemic racism held in 300-plus U.S. cities following the death of George Floyd did not cause a significant increase in coronavirus infections, according to a team of economists who have published their findings in a 60-page paper released by the National Bureau of Economic Research; these somewhat surprising results are supported by Covid-19 testing data in many populous cities where demonstrations were held. https://www.forbes.com/sites/tommybeer/2020/07/01/research-determines-protests-did-not-cause-spike-in-coronavirus-cases/?fbclid=IwAR0AiSeeCbty5NQZtuU2yEeTFuKvYtY39bUazLxmBVvFEIt2KOUxrnj-Kno#4389acd07dac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 Feds deny Walz's request for aid to rebuild after riots Star Tribune [Minneapolis, MN], by Ryan Faircloth Original Article The federal government has denied Gov. Tim Walz’s request for aid to help rebuild and repair Twin Cities structures that were damaged in the unrest following George Floyd’s death. Walz asked President Donald Trump to declare a “major disaster” for the state of Minnesota in his request to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on July 2. More than 1,500 buildings were damaged by fires, looting and vandalism in the days of unrest that followed Floyd’s May 25 death in Minneapolis police custody, racking up more than $500 million in damages, according to Walz. The state and city stood down while the man-caused disaster unfolded, feeling everyone's pain, and now they want the rest of us to pay the bills for their misguided compassion. Rightly denied. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are trying to organize a large scale boycott of Goya, you are trying to hurt everyone involved with the company. Will it be effective? I doubt it. The point is, AOC and the others urging this boycott would love to put the company out of business for no other reason than the CEO said something supportive of Trump. It's purely punitive and indicative of the culture right now. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comments are strongly in favor of the denial. If the city and state had quickly stepped in to disburse the rioters and looters, I would disagree with Trump. As the city appeared to encourage the destruction, and the state sat around with their thumb up their ass until Trump said stop it, or I will, money denied is really the only way to stop this lunatic aiding and abetting by mayors and governors. A stand down order from a mayor to the police should be immediate grounds for not one red cent from the feds. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to do with this culture of punishment that is permeating our society right now. I feel it is reprehensible behavior to try to hurt someone socially, financially, or in any other way simply because they have a different opinion. It is hardly acting like someone is being murdered to point that out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
