Exploitation is a different issue. I think the labor union for the NFL is exploitative as well as the combine, but I didn't boycott because of that. Same way I don't boycott NCAA basketball. I think the NFL exploits cities and tax bases on stadium deals, I didn't stop watching because of that either.
I'm talking explicitly about the content providers (the owners) black balling an entertainer because of his views and stance on black deaths via the hands of police. Now if it had been veganism, or hell even a war, I probably wouldn't feel so personal. But in this case the owners are siding with the tragedy. A tragedy that reflects me and could touch me at any time.
