You wrote “In business, practicality trumps political biases and preferences.”

If that is true, then why are all the sports leagues falling over each other to trumpet BLM? Why is the NCAA doing the same thing? Why are large corporations donating tens or hundreds of millions to BLM? Why does Kaepernick keep winning endorsements? Why do retail stores embrace queers and trannies?

I cannot see all this as “practicality trumping political biases.” It looks the other way around to me.

The FACT is that, all sports leagues and sports teams that go along with the nuttiness of BLM, and Kneepernick, are and will be paying the price with lower revenues.

If a company or sports team alienates a good portion of their users or fans, those users or fans will find other things to do or other companies to purchase from. They don't have anything that people can't do without or that there aren't alternatives for.

So, with losses of revenues and of fans/customers, my statement still stands, that, practicality trumps political biases/preferences.
