US Chess Championships

I didn't dive into this topic, but how is not displaying those games to lichess users helping girls?

read this:

and this:

and you will understand more about it

That doesn't answer my question though. Lichess is mixing things that shouldn't be mixed, while the US is happy it isn't broadcasted as they prefer chesscom anyway. So the only ones harmed are those who want to follow the games through lichess. How does that make sense?

the ones harmed could, just for example, complain to the us chess federation. the organisation that did, you know, something wrong.

It's not up to them though whether lichess displays those games or not. This is mixing topics again.

it is absolutely up to them. you do not seem to understand the connection. if you read the blogs, maybe your confusion would be gone. or maybe you should just generally read up on what boycotts are. how they work, what they are trying to achieve.

It's only up to them because lichess decides so. Thus lichess harming their users. Do such small boycotts ever work then?

I grew up on this movie, ok. Maybe that's why I don't understand what many of you guys are talking about here? (ರ_•́)

Did you read those articles? If so, you'll have read how the boycott was successful in forcing a significant improvement in policy from St Louis Chess Club.

Did you read it? What STLCC did was totally unrelated to the lichess boycott.
