I might passionately disagree with you about your political views; however, I cannot imaginge wanting to ruin your life, socially, financially, or in any other way, simply because of those views. 1

Consumers make decisions on what to buy based on many criteria, I just see what their CEO did was bad marketing. 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

I dunno Consumers making decisions on what to buy is an individual choice. 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. 2

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

Big Blitz Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 We now have definitive proof massive outdoor rallies are ok. Awesome. Just awesome. Trump rallies. Football games. Graduations. The beach. All gatherings good to go. Your governor is a science denying commie lunatic if he/she doesn't allow them. 1

B-Man Posted July 11, 2020 Author 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

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

I dunno Kapernick isn't playing because he sucked. I looked up on NFL stats his last season. SF was 2-14. Then he sat out the next season. No one, even the Patriots would take a chance on anyone with those stats. 5
