I linked the below in another thread on this forum and I think this UGA echoes the sentiments of much of America.
I'm going to add to it. If you go to Wal Mart and see employees protesting and they have picket signs, it's a good chance they are trying to prevent you from shopping there. You may or may not want the hassle.
If you see players striking during a labor dispute then things might get fiery. They are hoping to disrupt the game and stop anyone from breaking the picket lines. And they probably don't want fans there.
So if the NBA, NFL, MLB, etc is protesting inside or outside then they are trying to disrupt business. In some ways they are telling the fan to stay away.
Movies take us a way from it all. Amusement parks take us a way from it all. Sports take us a way from it all. Many are spending their hard earned dollar to go. They are protesting a horrible work environment. They want to shove it down our throats when it supposed go be a place where all is right for a few hours. What if I went to my job and started making the customer mad? Most jobs would be at risk because all of a sudden you want to do it your way and it becomes about what you want and not the people who find value in what you provide.
