[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I firmly disagree with “stick to the game”. If you have a platform you can choose to use it however you want. Once they stop playing their reach and power to speak out is diminished so use it while you’ve got it.

I find it interesting that people say stick to the game when they don’t agree with the message. But are perfectly fine with people speaking out in other positions of power even though they are speaking about subjects that have nothing to do with their popularity. Business leaders speak out all the time about any number of topics - Elon Musk, Jamie Dimon, politicians, entertainers, musicians. Do we say “stick to making electric cars” or “stick to making money” when they spout off on a topic? Athletes have been using their platform to speak out for a long time. Muhammad Ali. Bill Walton. Kareem. Ask yourself why this is different and why it bothers you so much.[/quote]

The difference is they are on Team USA. Elon and James Dimon are not.  [/quote]
