    Is that the issue? I went further than your question. I support her use of social media to take down a business for any reason that is legal and within the law.

    1. I support the right of left wingers to boycott Ivanka Trump's fashion line due to he politics.
    2. I support Nascar fans rights to boycott races due to the banning of the confederate flag.
    3. I support the right of people to boycott buying condos in Trump branded buildings because of his politics.
    4. I support evangelicals right to boycott Disney due to their stance on same sex marriage.
    5. I support people that wanted to boycott Nike and burn their expensive shoes in protest of Kaepernick.

    As long as a person does it legally they can do their best to take down as business using any legal means possible, including social media.

    Is this a generational gap thing I am missing? Are you running my post through google translate or something? I said many times I support her fully as long as she does not break the law. This This is like explaining double click to my in-laws. Unless you are trying to imply she broke the law I don't get the conversation divide here.

    Is that what it comes down to? You think she broke the law? If you can show me she broke the law I will no lower support her.

    Yes, that is my answer. Yes, yes, and yes again.

    Let me be clear, the answer is yes.

    I won't deal with Home Depot, Goya foods, or the MyPillow man among many others, and that is because they support Donald Trump. They have the right to their politics and I have the right to deal with people whose politics I like. I also do indeed have the right and desire to ruin their businesses if I legally can and will do so through any legal means open to me. Most Trumpers (no one here) make no secret of the fact that they would ruin me, or people like me, if they could and I return the favor

    So your answer is apparently yes even though you run from giving a yes or no answer.
    Yes you support this woman using her social media position to destroy a mans business because she dislikes his politics.
    You may want to change your name to Marxistsoldier.

    Playing in a Superbowl does not guarantee you a position for life.You are only as good as your last season or even your last few games and his career was in free fall before he was cut.



    "The quarterback didn't play well against Green Bay Friday during his preseason debut. Kaepernick looked rusty, which wasn't too surprising after he didn't fully participate during OTAs and mini-camp in the spring and only recently started fully throwing passes leading up to Friday's game.

    "He has a very big uphill battle to make this team. It has nothing to do with political views whatsoever," Glazer said on Fox. "He lost a ton of weight this offseason, had three surgeries, couldn't work out, lost that double threat, that size-speed ratio.

    "He just hasn't been effective. He's regressing as a player."

    Meh, both sides do boycotts. Remember the Dixie Chicks? It can be silly, but it isn't actually violating anyone's rights.

    I have no problem with what she did, although I personally would have just turned around and walked out (with the pizza if I had already paid for it/without it if I hadn't)

    BTW, he hasn't been "canceled", WTF that means... he's being (attempted) boycotted...

    If you don't oppose fascism 24x7, even in your pizza life, then you are pretty much a hypocrite. Wouldn't you agree?

    What is your answer? I am guessing you do not support her actions. What do you think should be done about it? Should she be incarcerated or simply fined? Do we need to create new laws prevent her actions? Would the basic premise of your law be that it is illegal to try to negatively impact or take down someones business using social media?

    Don’t recall anybody ever saying life was just or fair. Grow up and just deal with it.

    I think you're right - we are. I don't believe the Left is trying to destroy everyone and everything with which they disagree.

    Ooooo - a yes or no question. That would mean that I agreed she was attempting to destroy his business. She doesn't have the means to do that. If she did, I would not agree with her. If she actually worked at FB, I would not agree with her taking down his page. She would have no right to do so.

    BS, I have seen QBs who were trash last in the league for years.

    I have seen cats look like the next big thing in training camp and then when the season starts they look like trash. Going by what you are ripping off there are alot of QBS who should have been out the league along time ago.

    Dix chicks alienated their audience. It was individuals who themselves turned their backs on them.

    The question you're dodging and obfuscating was very straightforward.
    Do you support her attempting to destroy a mans business because she disagrees with his politics?
    Yes or no?

    It's like this isn't America anymore. It's just another Marxist society where you conform or suffer reprisals.

    The question is do you support freedom of speech.
    You obviously do not.

    If she is just posting factual information online, that is her right.
    If she is slandering the business or damaging their property that is another discussion.

    Why can you not answer what you think should be done to her while you dance around and demand others answer your questions? Which you then ignore...

    Until she demonstrates otherwise, I think we should assume she meant '...via boycott', as thats how social media is most often used against businesses.

    If she starts using social media to promote harassment, vandalisim or violence against the business or its employees, that'll be a different story. And while its a valid concern considering the left these days, we can't just assume thats what she meant if we're to value speech and voluntary participation as social regulators in both politics and the market.
