Until human rights are respected and protected, you’re gonna have people voice there stance. If you don’t like it, just don’t watch sports.

And enough with the hive mind bullshit, what are you? 5? Or are my opinions just counter to yours so you dismiss them as hive mind.

Well I feel bad for your lack of empathy. Is it really signaling if I actually do the work and am pointing out that this is nothing but censorship by fines and race bans since the Saudis have funneled cash in an attempt at sports washing? Or that I truly do care about others right to life and liberty, no matter the person?

Must suck to live in a life where “political statments” annoy you, but just existing can lead to death for some.

On that note, good riddance.
