I understand the sentiment but if you tracked back where every dollar corporations send money to and support, your home would be bare. The Country is already in the crapper.
My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.

First of all, I did see it. Seems you ought to at least do that to have an opinion on it. Watching it I didn't see any race related issues. Neither did anyone else I was watching it with.
It was a bunch of black dancers looking like black people. I'd say they did a pretty good job of it.
As far as boycotting pepsi products, you just might be surprised what that involves. I don't drink Pepsi but I do indulge in Lays, Quaker, and Tropicana, so it's probably not going to happen.
Turkish Airways was a big sponsor of the SB. I'm not flying on them.
People claim the right all the time, until someone else uses it, and they disagree.
Then they want to curtail their speech.
I really don't care what anyone says, since we are all entitled to our own opinions.
I just think it's silly to protest against her protest because you don't like her saying what she doesn't like
See where this leads?
It's not like y'all were buying her records anyway
This is a non-sequitur. Unless I missed it, nobody said anything about anyone wanting to curtail free speech. I've found an interesting constant that those who scream "tolerance" the loudest seem to be the least tolerant among us.
Having the freedom of speech doesn't exempt someone from facing the consequences of dumb behavior. Just as Beyonce and Pepsi, or whomever have the right to express any opinion they wish, consumers likewise have the right to their opinions as well. By extension, consumers can vote with their wallets whether or not they support the message being sent.
Would you have it any other way? Should anyone be forced to buy a product if the company promoting the product sends a message one finds distasteful?
Yeah, we should all protest because our 1st Amendment rights ...............wait..........what?
Freedom for all who agree with me!!!!!!!!
First Amendment freedom doesn't apply to private sector...unless the government says it does. Pepsi had the right to control the content. So did the NFL for that matter.

Yeah, snyper, I see where it leads - to the assessment that you are an ideological and illogical obfuscating numbskull.
No one here expressed a wish to curtail any speech rights - you made that up. They simply do not like the Pepsi speech - their right to dislike.
Because Pepsi is a commercial enterprise that chose to spend its profits advancing a socio-political agenda, Pepsi exposed itself to critique by those who don't like their agenda. You spend your profits to send your message. If some folks don't like your message they have the right and opportunity to speak back. That's a protest, - got it? In this case. the protest might be to decrease the profits that paid for the message being protested.
It has nothing to do with curtailing speech rights - it has to do with being forced to take responsibility for what one says. Try it !!
It's all about curtailing speech when you want to punish one group for something someone else said.
You want to bully them into promoting your point of view simply because you disagree with what she said.
She didn't diss cops any more than a lot of people here do every day.
You're still just whining because she exercised her rights, just like you want to do
You don't like it, so you want to try and shut them up, just like I said, but you're putting a lot of effort into denying it while at the same time stating it.

Kind of like you putting a lot of effort into trying to shut us up about Planned Parenthood, Snypercrit?

I haven't tried to stop anyone from saying anything.
I stated many times I don't care what you say at all.
I'm not boycotting anything to try and keep you from doing anything.
All you've got is silly name-calling and some delusions
Feel free to talk about anything you choose. I will do the same.
If you think you not buying a Pepsi now and then will affect anyone other than you, feel free to do that too.
But don't deny the real motive

Hey, Snyper... if your next door neighbor called your mother a whore, would you reward his behavior by buying life insurance from him?
Simple market forces at work. If one doesn't like the product being sold/promoted, one has the freedom not to buy said product. And, whether you admit it or not, there WAS a product being pitched. It's no different than voting for political candidates who best represent your values. In this case, the "ballot" is one's $.
Again, freedom is a 2-way street...or at least it should be.
I personally don't believe most boycotts work, but I'm still not going to knowingly support causes or companies whose products or message I find distasteful or I'm diametrically opposed to. I'm betting if you're being honest, you don't either.
But, this is such a basic, common sense concept that I suspect you're just trolling.

Actually, you've tried time and again to have people NOT post things that you disagree with by saying (over, and over, and over) that they should just "mind their own business".

Of course he's trolling. He's not intelligent enough to actually hold a conversation.
