Both performers were exercising their free speech rights. Yay America!

Well, he blew the gig ...so that's a start in the right direction!

That actually can be a metaphor for most red states.

Must be terrible for you to hold such contempt for the 100s of millions living in 3/5th of the states of the USA.

Miserable way to live.

I wonder if Trump will tweet asking both of them to be fired by the Orchestra. I wonder if the anti-NFL kneeler crowd will now refuse to attend the orchestra because they want 100% performance at all times when they pay for their tickets. They don't want to orchestra players to voice their opinion (via political comnentary or walking off the stage).
Your analogy is as far off from reality....wow.

This liberal goof ball who can’t keep his opinions out of his work is like the American Flag?

LOL!

They haven't moved into flyover country. By injecting politics into everything the dumbasses are still working on the popular vote, guaranteeing more defeat. Solidifying the Trump base.

He is paid to play the trumpet. If he doesn’t play, his employer should have the right to fire him.

He made his choice to walk off. He should deal with any consequences.

when I read things like this, one can only reflect on these adults and wonder if they have children. If they act like this, how do they act in front of their kids. Both parties here were extremely immature....

I just read today, another 12 year old, took her life, b/c she was being bullied. Is it any wonder, the way grown adults talk to each other. This is no way to be....

both of them were wrong....acting like babies. What is it with people today, allowing their political affiliation to define who they are?????
