How can you or any of us "guarantee" what Noah's intentions or motives were? We can (& obviously are going to) speculate, but that is just an odd statement, IMO.

Noah's decision is not too dissimilar to the protests we often see groups gathering for. Personally, I don't think those things will ever effect much change, but it's the right of the protester(s) to do so, if they find the cause worthy.
You are right, guarantee, was not the correct word choice there. I just think it goes the same way thinking that he did it because of those people at West Point chose to go to war. Just a dumb argument.

I completely agree with you that these protest won't truly do what they are trying to do. It won't change anything, but it is like the Kneeling protest. It is at least gets people talking. And I think it is being talked about more, because it was West Point, rather than him not showing up to a random team dinner.

None of us can know what his motives really are, but he does say what they are. Granted, he could be lying, but I don't think really think he is.

He has a right to protest. I have a right to not care about his opinion, which is more visible just because he is a professional athlete.

He has every right to skip the dinner.

I have every right to not agree with him.

We can both do this because of people like the West Point Cadets, but that's another cave-y type of thread . . . :D ;) :confused:

Get over yourself. I hope he gets fined for skipping a team function

Below are some sensible comments from Military guy, who basically destroys 'lil snowflake Noah

I am not anti-war. I am pro-freedom of action/speech, though, when it comes to things like this. Do I have to agree with the point he is trying to make? No. Can I believe he has the right to do what he did? Yes. This is not about me at all, I was commenting towards the poster who felt the need to push me into a generalized group that I have no reason being associated with, all because he felt Noah should have gone to the dinner, and I said he is in his right not to do so. You can disagree with me that Noah shouldn't have done what he did, but don't make it seem like I am some hippie who hates the establishment and anything that war brings, and what it brings with it. Thats b.s., I am making a fair point and the guy makes it about something completely different.
