You seem to think freedom of speech is something people can exercise at work without consequence.

Exactly. Google fired people for saying stuff they didn't like, but that's OK, right?

I never said that. I said it was up to the dress code.

I've stopped watching the NFL and I'm a huge football fan. Obviously what I do has little impact, but apparently a lot of people like me have also stopped, and collectively it is impacting the NFL.

Frankly, it's freed up my time to do more productive things anyway, so it's a win win.

You posted in another thread they can't be fired. Do you even know what you post?

The flag should be respected. This Country should be respected.

NFl players will not be fired for kneeling. Wearing clothing against company policy could get you fired.

But we have a president who has disrespected so many of us. Why should any of us care when he doesn't.
