Which having a belief shouldnt count.

If it's some public thing anyone can join and having personal beliefs isn't against the rules then I don't think they should be disallowed

But if it's a private business type thing it's more of a grey area

Supporting someone doesnt mean you adopt their beliefs wholesale, liking a celebrity doesnt mean you parrot everything they say and voting for someone doesnt mean you agree with everything they do

its utter nonsense to say seggust that "i like this person becuase they good at this sport" somehow translates to "i adopt their views as my own"

This is a standard political tactic on both sides of the aisle and its polluting the dialogue

So in the case you presented yes the white supremacist team should be allowed to play and their fans shouldnt feel bad for supporting them

Yeah, but it's pretty normal to have bad feelings towards someone when they have such extreme beliefs that can spoil your enjoyment of what they produce

Like feminism and SW

IM sure it left a bitter taste

THing is, people responded by simply not consuming the product.

Like I listen to a lot of anarcho-communist music, but some of it despite sounding good goes too far and just ruins my ability to enjoy it

I guess that's a bad example

since it's more about the art than the artist

yea thats a lot more interwoven then the presented situation

I understand your point though

but i do see what you're driving at

just cause you like something doesn't mean you support every aspect of it

I remember randomly looking up some of Hitler's quotes, I loved some of that shit

but I'm not about to like give a rant about how admirable a person he was or whatever, I don't fucking know, all I know is his kill count

I wouldn't personally hold it against anyone who said "I just like watching their technique"

Sum of his parts

Sometimes its better to stick to the parts.

and imo...

as long as that team is undefeated, I see that as a strong point of why they should play

I mean, as long as it fosters some rivalry.

if they played and were losing games left and right then fuck them, nobody cares about them or what they have to say, but if they were fucking hardcore winning vs some really good teams

Conflict is the seed of innovation

yeah, and you'd get to see sports taken to the next level because this isn't just football or whatever anymore

this is... we gotta fucking beat that team no matter what

if you drop the ball you're benched

Still, ultimely it will be up to the company.

If they are losing money, or the players are being dicks, then maybe it would be better. But its silly to disregard an action because of its intent, or punish someone for a crime that did not happen,

agreed

hello

I don't have to like it, and I don't have to support it, but that doesn't mean they should be stripped of their ability to play a sports

Its kinda bad sport to refuse a challenger.

especially a strong one, when you're also strong

If I cause a pregnant woman to miscarriage, should I be charged with manslaughter or destruction of property? This bleed into the pro-life debate

Do people who abort babies see them as property?

That's pretty fucked.
