How many brilliant proposals put forth by the enlightened class start out this way and work their way into Federal, State or Local law? We all understand what the amendments say, just concerned about the slippery slope we are all on.

Since you both made comments along the same lines, I thought I would reply to both at one time:
To pick on this guy denies him free speech.

The NBA is Hardaway's employer and he publicly represents the NBA when he appears on the air whether it is in his capacity as a broadcast commentator or as a guest on a sports talk show. If he makes statements publicly that are embarrassing to his employer, then it is certainly within their prerogative to discipline him for those comments. If the government were to throw him in jail for those comments, then THAT would be a First Amendment issue. But when his employer simply exercises its right to protect its image (whether or not you agree that it needs to do so) it is rather silly to say that his free speech is being denied or that the First Amendment is under attack.
