Personally, I think boycotting Nike is misdirected outrage, and that this outrage is just a fad. So many consumer boycotts come and go, and next year no one will remember this one. Being angry at Nike is just the recent popular thing to do.
I have as just as much to protest via boycott as those that protest via disrespecting the Anthem.
Did you intentionally say that you have just as much to protest, or did you mean to say that you have just as much right to protest?
oops!! I just checked the post he responded to. I accidentally left out the word “right”. I am sorry about that. If he thought I actually meant that I have just as much to protest, I could understand being angry with that.
Possessed has contacted me via email saying that there was miscommunication here. Not that he’s trying to undo his ban, he understands the reason for it and that he did break the rules, but he would like to know if this is the way you intended to phrase the post, as he says the inclusion of the word right would likely have gotten a less intense reaction from him.
Yes, I meant to include the word. I can easily see how meaning is very different without the word “right”.
I would go back and alter my post, but I want the mods to see that I accidentally left out the word “right”, so that they can see what Possessed thought I said and why he got as angry as he did.
Mods, please unban Possessed.
