I think it's fantastic that some companies use their platforms to help the disadvantaged—it's a good use of their resources, in my opinion.
Sometimes platforms and politics don't mix, though. I don't watch ESPN because I want to hear about politics, I watch it because I want to veg out and hear about sports.
Even if I agree with their politics it becomes grating to hear about it 24/7.
A lot of athletes are black. They are becoming more vocal about the racism and brutality in this nation. This is causing a lot of white conservatives to feel uncomfortable. Who'd rather they shut up and continue to crush in each other's skulls.
