I agree with you, however, why does a person expressing their own opinion, as a person, mean you have to pay a price? When he appears on a sports talk show, he isn't just expressing his own opinion as a person. He is representing the NBA whether he likes it or not.
What effects this idea that there has to be any punishment at all? Who decides this and why?
The NBA decides when it deems its image to have been damaged by the guy's comments.

I understand why the NBA feels the need to show a form of punishment. I still do not think that makes it right. Pressure from the MSM PC creates the problem. Why is it okay for the gay player to come out and say he was gay during his NBA career? That might offend people, but that is okay to do. I am talking about the pressure on companies and groups etc, by a liberal society to have to conform to PC standards and punish those people who don't fit the mold. The pressure from a lib media dictates this outcome.
