41. I have been tore on this issue
I certainly agree something from other states would be nice, but I live here and I see who will be hurt the most if it isn't done properly. MLK was mentioned and he did it right, we can't punish the ones who will suffer the most and only pinch the ones who can afford it. I lived in Mississippi for over half a century and I know when boycott came up, they just tighted the noose around the poor. They cut social programs and the rich started working around it. The trick is to do it effectively and sports is a good tool. Look at the MLK day here in Arizona, did the boycotts do it? It was the Super Bowl not coming here, the national college championship game not coming here. This is what those rich rats care about. Conventions that don't come will help, but the overall thing is a mistake because it will be the poor who suffer.
