    They didn’t, at least not in what I read.

    They’re just outlining how stupid the argument is.

      They made 6 statements, each ending with “that’s protected speech”, referred to a “legal basis” and “legal status”, and mentioned that the SuperbOwl was a private event, as if someone was implying otherwise. Not sure how else you interpret that but please share if you have another perspective.

      E: LOL you people are literally delusional. Zero objectivity.

        All of those six statements were predicated with “This is such a non-thing that it hurts to even consider how stupid it is.“

        Ergo, let’s not make it a thing…

          And then they immediately “made it a thing” by writing out a strawman argument, which I addressed. I don’t understand where the confusion is coming from.

            No, they didn’t. The point that were made all stated that everything’s protected by free speech. No one here is upset about the Black National Anthem being sung, you’re just trying to stir up shit. Ergo, DON’T MAKE IT A THING.

              Yes. They did.

              Yes, I got that. My point (once again) is no one thinks it is illegal, which makes the argument it a strawman (ie: arguing against a point no one is making).

              No one here is upset about the Black National Anthem being sung

              Oh look, another strawman.

              Ergo, DON’T MAKE IT A THING.

              I’m really not sure what this is supposed to mean in this context. I didn’t “make it a thing”. It was “made a thing” by whoever decided to sing it, the people who were upset by it, the article that was published, and the person replying to the article before I even knew it took place.

                  Yes, that’s definitely what’s happening. I need attention from anonymous strangers on the internet. 🤦‍♂️ It’s definitely not that someone had a bad take. Deny deny deny.

              Of course I do. I’ve already explained it elsewhere. It’s when someone (like the person I replied to) fabricates a fallacious argument their opposition supposedly holds (like the idea that singing a particular song is illegal) and then tries to tear down the argument they themselves fabricated as evidence that their opposition is wrong.

        This is such a non-thing that it hurts to even consider how stupid it is.

        You missed statement 0.

                Dog they just listed reasons they think the maga reaction is stupid and you’ve got a whole write up as to why maga doesn’t care about legality. You missed the plot it’s okay.

                  I did not write “a whole write up”, dog. It was 2 sentences. All of their reasons were legal, which is what I addressed.

                  as to why maga doesn’t care about legality.

                  🤦‍♂️ No. Wrong again. My point was that it’s not a legal issue.

                    We know that though. We know they only care because they’re racist. The commenter doesn’t care if it’s a legal issue or not. They just think it’s stupid and listed 6 reasons they think that. Move on it ain’t that deep.

        In this context “that’s protected speech” means roughly, “STFU maga, nothing you can do about it, and you have no basis for your tantum.”
