Because something doesn't affect you, it's not important or worthwhile?

One can recognize that something is important and worthwhile, and hope that things change in the direction you prefer WITHOUT having a gun placed to your head and forced to give up your earnings to support it.

What I want to happen is that I cheer my college football team to a win on Saturday. What is happening is that my university is holding a gun to my head and stealing my earnings and giving those stolen earnings to the players and coaches, and no one seems willing to stop them. I don’t want to win on Saturday so badly that my life is threatened and I’m forced to lose my house.
