I get slapped daily by Google, Amazon, Disney, Apple, Microsoft, Coca Cola, Facebook, Nike, Youtube, the NFL, the NBA, essentially all of Hollywood and the MSM, nearly every major University in this country and hundreds of other people and organizations.
We all do. The NFL and NBA have players and management who are against us. They have, IMHO, negligible influence on public opinion. Yes, they are stupid, but they are not worth worrying about. Save your energy for the Big Guys. Start by giving up Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and Amazon.
They are high visibility influencers. They may not make me want to emulated them; but many that buy their jerseys and hats and other gear are being influenced to some extent.
These influencers are saying evil is good; they are normalizing rioting.
Rioting is not a good thing.
