Which fallacy does this statement contain? if you don't support the lakers, you must be a bulls fan. 1. post hoc, ergo propter hoc 2. red herring 3. false dilemma 4. slippery slope

The correct option is 3) “false dilemma”. We can say this statement contains a false dilemma fallacy since it gives only two options, it is either this or that, meaning if you don't support the Lakers the only other option you have is to be a Bulls fan and it does take into account all other possible teams.

Option 1 is incorrect since post hoc, ergo propter hoc fallacy assumes that if B happened is because A took place first and not always an event happens as a consequence of another.

Option 2 is incorrect since red herring fallacy happens when attempting to redirect the argument from its original one.

Option 4 is also incorrect since Slippery slope occurs when a minor events is thought to bring about major consequences.  

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
