IQ lowering question #1: So what occupations are allowed to express political viewpoints?

IQ lowering question #2: What % of the players in the NBA do you feel could do what James is doing without fear of reprisal?




If we keep this up, I'll soon be stupid enough to carry on a conversation with you. :/


In answer to both questions...NONE.

It's a sports event. I expect to see sports...only. <---- Which part of this don't you understand?

what other non-political things at sports events make you upset? does it make you made when they bring a vet out to honor at half time? do the cheer leaders make you upset? what about the food drives and cancer funding?

He's doing this during the game. Unless he owns the TV station, he doesn't have the right. Pretty simple.

Ok...I'll show you how dumb you are...just for you.

Freedom of speech doesn't count on TV. Tv is a venue where the observers have the choice of what they watch. LeBron is stepping all over that choice.
If I want to view issues concerning equality, I can switch the channel to a show that offers that.

If I want to watch sports, I can switch the channel to a show that offers that. It's not up to Lebron what I see when I chose to watch sports. Unless he owns the TV station...then I can choose not to watch that station.


It's just like the kneeling...that isn't done anymore. It's more subtle, but it is still BS.


I guess you wouldn't understand that. Because you don't seem to think I'm allowed to have a viewpoint. But that's ok, close minded folk are everywhere.

U have to watch sports. So freedom of speech "doesnt count"?

This post should be in a book for all the wrong reasons.

But. Why does ur viewpoint make his freedom not count? That sounds like more than a view point

Ah, but I didn't tune in to the: How LeBron feels about equality in the US channel. I tuned in to watch a basketball game.

Which part of English gives you the most trouble?
Are my sentences too long? Those short words I use, too big?

the language isnt the hard part, its the content. im having a hard time believing that you think someone's freedoms as a citizen "dont count" once they get on TV.

I'm sure this is the part where you provide a lot of case law examples of this.

So once you tune into a show its stuck there until the show is over? Or do you have the ability to change channels?

I realize that some people think only they matter, but to think that people's freedoms dont even matter if they slightly influence your TV programming, thats a whole new level of ego even i didnt know existed.
