Probably blackmail or threats of some sort. He's an otherwise pretty rational person, so why is this one area of his mind blacked out?

Agreed.

How do you propose deporting people whose ancestors were brought here against their will 6+ generations ago. That's an absolutely retarded idea.

Definitely rational to punish sports teams for the military actions of their country. I'm sure most of these damned grass gnats moonlight as high ranking military officials.

I'm in agreement with you. There should be no trigger warning for adults. If the mere entertaining of ideas has the potential to cripple you mentally and send you into a spiral of despair for which you're bound to need counseling, you can't rightly be called a mentally fit adult.

Certainly not for adults. We have ratings on movies for reason: to signal to parents what may or may not be appropriate for their children.
