It's not politics, it's business. Most companies try to stay on the good side of the White House (no matter if it's democrat or republican held) because federal policy can affect the bottom line. But, like it or not, Trump (and the travel ban) is widely opposed by UA's demographic - 18-29 year olds, who tend to live in urban areas and tend to have a larger minority presence.
but in this case UA's customers werent demanding they declare a position. UA got all fired up and just blurted out some shite. They knew this was a polarizing issue and risked pissing off one side or the other. smart business move would have been to STFU therefore you cant call this move anything BUT political.

I have been waiting for sea levels to rise for 40 years now. The science behind climate change is JUNK. None of their predictions have happened. NOT ONE! NOAA has been changing data to fit their argument for years. It won't be reported anywhere in the MSM, but do a little self education, you might be shocked. There is melting in some places, but lots of freezing in others.
I'm not sure where to begin here, but this logic makes me CRAZY! What motivation does NOAA have to change their data? Zero.
EPA Sea Level Data
NASA Sea Level Data
European Sea Level Data
That's three sources that refute your claim that sea levels aren't rising. I mean I understand that there are group that may have motivations to exaggerate the extent of the problem, but to complete ignore raw data is one of the biggest problems I see in the Republican party right now. And I say that as someone who has voted for a Republican candidate for president 4 out of 5 times.

Nobody is reading books or remembering history anymore. Just a bunch of online dumbassery. Everybody has an opinion, like they know everything. God forbid any one side might be wrong. This garbage used to die down for the most part after the elections ended. Never thought Democrats and Republicans could get any more annoying and pompous than they already were.

I have zero doubts that the climate is changing. Even getting warmer overall.
The real question is, is there factual data that proves that humans are doing it and is there a solution that will make a true reduction in the change other than kill all the humans and start over

I feel like we have a very good opportunity of being 6-0 through our first 6 games and 8-0 leading up to our week off in 2017.
Not sure about the UA game yet.
