[QUOTE="A_Thinker, post: 73586905, member: 33387"] I think that we were discussing the MOTIVATION for people making the choices that they do ... and your seeming belief that you can read their minds to determine if they are simply, "virtue-signalling", as you call it. As to your response ... you're right, Travis Scott didn't NEED to get Kaepernick's "blessing" to work with the NFL. But HE CHOSE to approach Kaepernick. Why did he do so ? I suppose that only he knows. But the article you cited indicated that he and Kaepernick came away from the meeting not exactly on the same page. And that's okay ... people can feel differently about issues. And none of this means that those people who are making these decisions are trying to SIGNAL their VIRTUE. Sometime they just think that they want to do the RIGHT thing, and everybody's free to decide what the RIGHT THING is for themselves. You know ... I have participated in support for the welfare of people far removed from myself for about 40 years now. I don't do that to SIGNAL my VIRTUE (I've very rarely mentioned it to anyone ... and I'm only mentioning it now as an personal example of my argument). I choose to do it because I think that it's the RIGHT THING for me to do. Everybody that chooses to support a GOOD cause is not seeking the applause of their fellowman, ... though SOME surely do. Try not to be so cynical. [/QUOTE]
