The tech world and the domain industry were all going crazy and staging a boycott of GoDaddy because of their support of SOPA.
Go Daddy changed its position and no longer supports SOPA with an estimated 74,000 domains transferring out.
GoDaddy is not the only company supporting SOPA. Espn the worldwide leader in sports, supports SOPA, The most popular game in the US, the National Football League supports SOPA, even drug company Pfizer supports SOPA.
Will you stop watching sports programming on ESPN ? They are still supporting the bill, will you read a book instead of attend or watch the SuperBowl ? Will you tell the wife you would like to please here but Pfizer makes Viagra and they support SOPA ?
I don't think the same outrage will come at these companies, especially the NFL. Does Go Daddy stand out because its one of the few tech or Internet type companies that were supporting SOPA?
Are the people who spoke out against Go Daddy hypocrites if they don't boycott the likes of :
CBS
Comcast
NFL
ESPN
The Movie and Music industry
Visa
What is your opinion on boycotting these other companies ?
