Sounded like you were quite annoyed by social issues being discussed. that would fall under the triggered remit

Nope, not triggered. Annoyed does not equal triggered, at least not in my book. If it does then I am among a group of some pretty soft individuals. To me triggered sounds more like some of the folks here who resort to name calling and meltdowns when someone disagrees with them. 

The things that would trigger me, like really trigger me, are things people don't discuss in polite company. I am mostly an agree to disagree kind of person. Sure, I'll argue a point if I have an opinion, but at the end of the day we're not really going to change each other's minds. I've certainly gained perspective from you guys, but my opinions and beliefs still stand. 

As for the subject at hand, I don't know why any issues have to be a thing played out in the world of sports at game time. All it does is piss people off, cause division and takes away from the game day experience. Sports are supposed to bring people together. What these guys could be doing is going into the community and talking with neighborhood groups, hold town hall type meetings to engage with the people they're trying to reach, do a ride along with JSO, make it as personal as they want us to believe it is. No one relates to these guys preaching from a soapbox of an elite athlete who gets paid a crap ton of money. Not the people they're actually trying to reach.
