Not morons, just people who stand by their convictions. I am not saying I personally agree with their decisions, after all I am still rooting for the Bills and watching games, but I do not judge them for their decisions.
I disagree with you here. The conservatives in question are making an independent choice to not watch football anymore because of behavior that they deem offensive. The "snowflake" mentality, as you describe it, is to try and force their ideals on other people. For example: this book, flag, statue etc., offends me and therefore it should be banned forever and NO-ONE should be allowed to read it of see it ever again. There is a big difference there. (I know we are delving into PPP territory here, sorry)
That is the difference to me. I respect someone who makes the choice for themselves without insisting that everyone has to follow suit. If you don't like it, don't watch it, but don't be mad at me if I do.
