Choosing Your Enemies?

Boycotting stuff is a choice at this time.  There may come a time when your choices are limited and a boycott may not be practical.  I've been told you only have one mother and the absolute truth is you have very little choice in this matter.

As a rule I'm not in favor of boycotts because of the tangled nature of stuff that is related to the the parties in a boycott.

How many things in life are: :categorical, unequivocal, absolute, uncompromising, unconditional, unqualified, unambiguous, clear, clear-cut, positive, straightforward, definite, or definitive.

The owner of the Miami Dolphins Football Team has been called out for being a supporter of Donald Trump.  Steven Ross is also a major stock holder in Equinox and Soul Cycle and The Related Group.

Soul Cycle's Mission: "Our mission is to bring Soul to the people. Our one of a kind, rock star instructors guide riders through an inspirational, meditative fitness experience that’s designed to benefit the body, mind and soul. Set in a dark candlelit room to high-energy music, our riders move in unison as a pack to the beat and follow the signature choreography of our instructors. The experience is tribal. It's primal. It's fun."

Equinox:" The first Equinox Hotel at Hudson Yards will take care of you in ways previously unimagined, featuring the largest-ever Equinox Fitness Club, a state-of-the-art spa with infrared sauna and cryotherapy and rooms designed to promote better sleep".

I follow the Miami Dolphins, should I boycott them.?  I actually hope they have a good year.  They have not won a Super Bowl since 1972.

I'm a Chicago Cubs Fan.  The World Series in 2016 was as big a sports highlight as any I have had in my life.  Joe Rocketts and Family own the Chicago Cubs.  Joe, Todd, and Pete Ricketts are Trump Supporters and fund raisers.

If you have enough money to buy an upscale gym membership or spinning class and attend an NFL football game or an MLB baseball game I will understand.  If you ditch Soul Cycle, Equinox, The Dolphins, or the Cubs I will also understand.

If you need new running shoes and only watch baseball and football on TV and wish you could get a good night's sleep you are part of a very large group in numbers.  Boycotts may bring changes or not but may also have unintended consequences.
