She’s protesting using her free speech. Just like the NFL kneelers.
Just like ABC can let Rosanne go, the NFL can let the kneelers go.
‘Just like ABC can let Rosanne go, the NFL can let the kneelers go.’
depends on how the contract was written, particularly with the bargaining agreement in the NFL...
The NFL kneelers are using the venue in which they work to protest. Rosanne would have had to work it in her script or ask to do a live show where she could pull off a stunt.
Just like ABC can let Rosanne go, the NFL can let the kneelers go.
ABC fired Rosanne for comments made off set and in her private time. The NFL lost control of the presentation of their product and by default backed an unpatriotic protest. Had NFL players worked in their private time for their political movements I doubt there would have been any large problem with ratings.
So the NFL let players get away with something worse than what Roseanne did. ABC cancels a whole series that was doing well for a small tweet. This is totally PC and anti-first amendment.
So if a doctor Tweets something on a political forum that is taken the wrong way he should lose his license?
Should a lawyer who defends a skin head in court be shunned by society? If that lawyer tweets something positive about his client should he be disbarred?
That's the point of this. We are losing our free speech rights. The left is making an example of Roseanne because they need to keep the Hollywood elite in line. The elite need to know that if they go conservative: every statement, every tweet will be scrutinized until they can find one that they can "black list" you on (a term from the days of the House Un-American activities committee not meant in any derogatory way). This is unleftist activities committee (a cabal of leftists in power positions in American society) letting everyone know they won't work if they stray too far from the leftist group think.
Once this works on Roseanne (and it looks like it has) the leftist minions will be police the internet and go after John Q Public. So if you tweet something out in the middle of the night should your employer be able to fire you for it? If I catch you saying things that are anti-left. I complain to the company you work for and I have a good chance to get you fired, welcome to the Fascist States of America.
