    Haha, if you don't like corporate decisions that Disney makes, I shudder to think what'll happen when you get wind of what the left actually wants.

    To remove a broadcaster because of his name is simply... astonishing.

    People/companies are cratering to the demands of these violent thugs because they fear all the boycotting and arson... so its easier to just submit. It's pathetic.

    And before anyone chimes in with the "doesn't a private company have the right to do whatever they want?"... well sure, but that doesn't change the fact that it's ****ing stupid and downright sad. It's too dangerous to have an opinion or stance the left doesn't agree with these days.

    But carry on - don't call it like it is. Keep acting like it's no big deal.

    Boycots. Blocking traffic. Marches. Arson. Looting. Urine bottles.

    Tough to keep up with the tactics these days.

    But I'm glad you're cool with disney's decision. Would hate to offend or hurt someone's feelings

    A product boycott = arson?

    Dude... a mega-cap billion dollar company just made a broadcasting decision based on a guy's name.

    That is some serious influence the thugs have on the left

    No.

    They usually compliment one with the other.

    I'm just gonna ignore the strawmen, sturg.

    Listen, if our power and our capacity for speech boils down to our wealth--as it inevitably does in your worldview, what on earth would be wrong with a boycott? How else to survive in a world where the free market rules?

    Boycotts are fine.

    If you're willing to boycott a company because a broadcaster's name was Robert Lee... your priorities are seriously ****ed up

    You defending that nonsense is also ****ed up.

    So why not celebrate people exercising both their 1st Amendment rights--which, of course, you.'re quite fond of--AND demonstrating the power of markets. I'd think you'd be nutting over the idea of a successful product boycott. What gives? Surely you don't have political preferences that infect your noteworthy ideals.

    Hold up, though. Who mentioned a boycott. I was responding to the interesting juxtaposition of boycotts and arson.

    LOL talk about strawmen.

    Julio... you've yet to say that Disney pulling a broadcaster based on a name is silly.

    I figured you were better than this. But I guess not.

    So please. Boycott based on a random dude's birth name. You can legally do it. Go for it.

    But holy **** your priorities are seriously ****ed up.

    This should not surprise us though... another day in the left's America.

    So I call you out for some bull****, and your response is to accuse me of supporting a fictional boycott of Disney based on an announcer's name.

    I assume you're just trolling here.

    Let me walk you through, 57 style.

    - Antifa is ready to start violence of anything related to Lee.

    - Disney has a broadcaster named Lee... decides to pull him because of fear of them not having enough play-doh

    - I make a comment that they make a ridiculous, politically correct decision because they know the left would likely throw a fit like they always do and at best boycott, and at worst, set their HQ on fire

    - You tell me why boycotting is great!

    Cool - glad we went through that

    I'm glad you feel like a big man for "calling me on my bull****" (???) but aren't willing to do the same for Disney

    Just another day
