    Perhaps, or it legitimizes it and ensures it will be part of public discourse for years to come.

    Now who is the arbiter of "people who sacrificed"?


    Military servicemembers are not the only type of himans capable of "sacrifice".

    What do they have to lose in the end?

    People against the protest weren't going to buy Kap stuff anyway and I doubt these people can boycott a company as big as Nike, a global company at that.

    I mean their NFL boycott didn't go so well.

    I wonder what Ahmadinejad thinks of Tillman's penny-pinching and the Rockets prospects for the upcoming season.

    I do realize he cheated to win the presidency and Iranians called him a dictator.

    Wait, which guy are we talking about here? It’s pretty clear you’re perfectly fine with that kind of behavior so not sure why you’re not a fan.
