Of course NFL players, like all Americans, enjoy the First Amendment's Free Speech protections.

I think what you meant to say is that employers can impose consequences on employee speech without violating the First Amendment.

No, I said what I meant to say. There is no right to free speech in a private setting.

No, they don't.

The First Amendment is strictly about Congress, not individual citizens. It proscribes CONGRESS from abridging speech.

Why is this so hard to understand?
