| Topic | Republicans: Why can't they peacefully protest? |

If you're going to talk about disagreeing with that stance, then you are talking about disagreeing with the stance that racially biased police brutality is bad. That's not a strawman, that is the literal meaning of what you said.I was talking about the NBA's stance to back BLM and bring all of this politics into Basketball. Also, I never said anything about "disagreeing", you used that word. You can choose not to support something and still either disagree or agree with the message. --- "Think you're a dragon slayer?

The conservative argument was about the manner of protest being disrespectful, as opposed to the context of the message.Why can't it be both and more? Some people were offended by the kneeling, others were not. People are now tired of the politics and if the NBA wants to throw it in the viewers faces, some people are going to tune out. The same is true with BLM in general. People rarely come out against the context of the movement, but rather the manner in which it's presented (i.e. phrasing of Black Lives Matter vs All Lives Matter).People rarely come out against the message of the movement because most people would agree that black lives do matter. What people don't agree with is the organization Black Lives Matter and their methods to get attention. adjl posted... So people are refusing to watch the NBA because they disagree with the position that racially biased police brutality is bad?Strawman to the max. --- "Think you're a dragon slayer?

| samuricex 09/04/20 2:27:03 PM #31 | Dont Republicans know they are legally obligated to agree with the NBAs stance now because they protested peacefully?! Wanting people to peacefully protest is about them not rioting, looting, burning things up. Refusing to watch the NBA is about not supporting their stance, regardless of how they choose to protest. --- "Think you're a dragon slayer? Come here and try." -Shyvana |
