Exactly my point. Do you think it’s right to get fired for a FB post or saying or doing something an employer may disagree with politically? How about not baking a wedding cake for a couples sexual orientation you disagree with?

******************************************
First of all, the wedding cake thing has nothing to do with free speech. You are mixing up different constitutional rights.
I will say it again, free speech is not free from consequences. It never has been, and never will be.

The same rules we all have to live by also applies to a bunch of overpaid, flag disrespecting, spoiled brats.

But don't you get by now it doesn't work that way anymore? You have to throw common sense out the window, the ME generation has arrived. So, no the same rules you and I grew up with (assuming you are older than 30) are not the same rules today. Trump is certainly not stupid he knows exactly what controversy his comments would cause and now the NFL is going to have to deal with this situation.

The Wedding cake thing is exactly about Free Speech more so than the NFL thing. That is gov't dictating speech! You've got it backwards...
