But not too long ago this man's comments wouldn't have warranted such a hypersensitive response by the company.
Soon everyone will be afraid to publicly express any sentiment that is at odds with acceptable norms, no matter how trivial or innocuous.
That is my point.
Culliver said, “No, we don’t got no gay people on the team,”
Employers have the option to change their standards and expectations of their employees.
As for Culliver, I do not get the impression that he has the option to leave the NFL and find a job as a brain surgeon or a nuclear physicist.

You are correct, and I'm sure the NFL would have intervened whether or not Culliver was on "company time" when he said what he said. The fact remains, he said this on company time, and as awful as the NFL's actions are, they do have the legal right in this case.
But we have the right to make fun of them for it too.
