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
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.
It would be manslaughter though because unlike abortions the women doesn't give consent.
depends on intent, and itd be manslaughter of course.... thats how its always been for hundreds of years
could also be murder too obviously
Well that would be causing bodily harm
Definitely not destruction of property, but something else like grievous bodily harm makes sense
