Georgia gets cancelled

[userque]

Where is the Cancel Mob demanding that Facebook be cancelled for this?

There is no organization called The cancel mob.

Individuals may or may not exercise their right to speak, or not, depending on their desires.

As I don't know what's in the head of every citizen, I can't say why those who are silent, are silent.

That's how it works in America.

Here are the first two words of my post: "Seems like." "Seems" acknowledges that no assertion was made. It indicates my opinion based on your other assertions and/or omissions.

Got it. Your position is that businesses should do as you say.

Got it. You have reasons for your beliefs.

My positions is that if someone has no financial interest in a business; and they don't like how the business is run; then they should,

Take a controlling interest in that business, and run it the way they see fit, or,
Start their own business, and run it the way they see fit, or,
Lobby for more communistic laws, or,
move on.

You're like an overbearing parent.

Businesses know they can push back. Some do. Some don't. Get over it.

For public corporations -- it is really should be up to the owners who are the shareholders. A corporation should be require to get shareholder approval before engaging in political activity not directly aligned with their business operations. If the shareholder's approve then they can go ahead.

Tell us how the NFL viewership is doing...

In 2020 The Audience Of NFL Regular Season Games Dropped
https://www.forbes.com/sites/bradad...regular-season-games-dropped/?sh=4b9bdfef7482

Revenues is KING and all that matters.

NFL games used to be on 2 networks. Like CBS for NFC and NBC for AFC. Now games are on FOX, ABC, ESPN, NFL Network, CBS. There is Sunday football, Sunday night football, Monday Night Football, Thursday Night Football. All the netowkrs forked over billions for a piece of the pie and dilluted their own viewership... while the NFL collects the checks.

.... it is like putting 5 Starbucks within 3 city blocks and claiming foot traffic at a store is down without looking at overall revenues.

Did revenues drop in 2020. Yup... like many sports during COVID because they lost ticket sales, TV viewership, sponsors etc...

Viewership on TV is the fault of TV stations diluting the offerings, but again, if 6 networks pay to broadcast games, viewership at each will drop but overall NFL gets all those checks.

Find me my post where I ever stated that government intervention is needed to address Cancel Culture?

My position has always been that Individuals and Businesses should push back and tell the Cancellers to go to hell and refuse to fold to their demands. In time this will eliminate the stupidity of "Cancel Culture".

When Canceller's cross the line of doxing someone and threatening their house & family then criminal investigation action should be taken against the Cancellers.

Doxxing isn't a crime if the information is gathered by legal means ( publicly available)

Today's hint: They are overpaying. Paying more for broadcast events where the audience is declining is a poor business deal and decision.

I recognize Amazon landing Thursday night games is simply an attempt to build their "sports presence" in the vain hope to attracting more sports fans to Amazon Prime; IMO it is not a bet that will pay off (plus they overpaid).

Todays hint:They are not

The NFL has that kind of competition yet...

You are being ridiculous to think you know better than the broadcasters who just signed a 100 billion dollar +deal with The NFL

Not only is The NFL not losing many viewers dispute streaming services getting hundreds of millions of subscribers the last few years and those streaming services are making a ton of new TV shows and movies The NFL ratings are at a premium because it is live and most viewers dont DVR it and watch it later skipping the commercials.

The shareholders are aware of their power. Obviously, they haven't done that ... except in the My Pillow case IIRC. American freedom in action!

My previous options I listed as being available to you still apply.

I guess the final option is for you to waste exercise your free speech and just rant about it all day, everyday.

Today's hint: They are overpaying.

So you're saying you know more on this matter than CBS,FOX,ESPN,NBC,ABC and Amazon prime?

Actually the posts are to provide some news on this subject.

My opinion has not changed. It is foolish of these businesses to get involved in a political issue that does not directly involve the focus on their business. It is absurd for politicians to be demanding a boycott of these companies.

As I said, businesses should cut their CEOs off from social media like what happended to My Pillow, Crossfit, PapaJohns, Chik Fil A etc..

However for an entire company to take a stand on a national issue like voting rights or civil rights and pull out of something is not exactly the same thing. If Coke wants to pull a sponsorship of something in Atlanta or MLB it is not a CEO making a comment but the entire organization taking a stand.

Now it might not be part of their business model but all of these are consumer serving companies and in today's world, NOT taking a stand for something your customers mostly support can be as hurtful to the bottom line.

It is a tough line to measure at times for sure, but it will be more common for a company to take a position on an issue in a state. The problem is the GOP thinks they have any clout really but since most issues come from cities where they have little power, a state's legislature foolishness (GA law is a direct response to being a sore loser) can hurt cities where GOP has no clout.

GOP boycotts are usually all noise and no action unfortunately because they spent so many years since the 1950s and 1960s directing boycotts/outrage/objections at minorities, things related to minorities, or non-Christian causes which never get national support and it never worked out well for them.

Actually doxing with the intent to threaten or urging others to threaten an individual or their family is illegal.
