Well choosing to boycott is also fully within their rights...You wanna complain about the kid who gets in trouble at school for not standing for the pledge or ejected from a high school football game for not standing for the anthem hey man I'm with ya. But uh....Calling for a boycott is certainly a very American thing to do.

They can boycott whatever they want. I don't have a problem with it but they are massively overreacting to this issue. There are much bigger problems confronting our country and many of them could be helped by boycott. Boycott used to be one of the most powerful forms of civil action and Americans have not seriously used it in decades. And why? Because of apathy. Because nobody gives a shit about all the super national corporations that are ruining life on earth in myriad ways. But some pampered douche bag doesn't stand up for one of the lamest songs ever written and now decades of apathy are to be cast off to fight this... This what? This expression of some dumbass's freedom of speech?

I'm not saying they can't boycott if they want to. Shit I've been boycotting football for years because of it's over commercialization. But this is trifling stupid bullshit and it pretty much sums up why a lot of people believe that devout conservatives are morons. Barely literate morons..

Fallacy of relative privation. Congratulations, your argument sucks from the get-go.
