cultural marxism is way more preferrable to economic marxism
An employer cannot demand (compel, impose on) of employees to speak politically. The employees have freedom of expression, including the freedom not to express the opinion of the employer.
NFL owners to consider rule change that would require players to stand for national anthem
ESPN: "Requiring players to stand is like slavery".
I'm almost getting Tired of Winning. Antifa is just Antifascist, NFL is apolitical (LOL!), It wasn't "Both Sides" in Charlottesville, Weinstein (You Report Abuse, We'll Shut Up!), etc.
ESPN: "Requiring players to stand is like slavery".
What a joke that network is.
Imagine JEB!!!! being a doormat on each and every issue.
Y'all know what I think about this already:
If the NFL enacts the proposed rule, the NFL player's union should take the NFL to court, all the way to the supreme court, if necessary. And in SCOTUS, the NFL will loose. An employer cannot demand (compel, impose on) of employees to speak politically. The employees have freedom of expression, including the freedom not to express the opinion of the employer.

They absolutely do not have freedom of expression as far as their jobs w the NFL are concerned. They can say whatever they want, but the NFL can withhold paychecks (fine them) or fire them as they please. The player is free to quit and voice whatever opinion he wants OR he is free to voice his opinion and bear the penalty of the NFL's employment contract.
And, really, this is the type of win you were hoping for when you elected Trump? Forcing people to pay homage to a US flag?
I know you're a nationalist, but come on.
But Google or YouTube censoring is bad, right?
Do you even care about being consistent anymore?

Pssst.... Free Speech means you can mock other's opinions/speech, yes? Where did I mention ESPN ought to be gagged by law?
It's just a failing network that continues to fail.
You’re demanding that the NFL players stop kneeling and you’re demanding that the NFL owners do something about it.
If you don’t like it stop watching football or stop going to the games. I can’t remember the last time I watched the Anthem before a game, do they even broadcast it? If so don’t watch for two minutes if you’re so triggered. Or pony up a few sheckles for Redzone channel, if they have that in your country

Who are you talking to?
The entire NFL situation is silly. Associating playing football w patriotism is a marketing tactic. Its silly. This marketing tactic is at odds w the social justice marketing tactic.The NFL is a cold, corporate beast that is blatantly virtue signalling to make money. It'd be refreshing to separate a game from any of that nonsense.
Unfortunately they've painted themselves into a corner. This is gonna get interesting
So McGee--tell me again why it's bad for Google to "censor" it's employee and for YouTube to "censor" its videos, but it's good for the NFL monopoly to censor its employees?
The employees have freedom of expression, including the freedom not to express the opinion of the employer.
Every single newscaster has the exact same opinion about everything?
This is why NFL players are kneeling
Why haven't they come out protesting Black on Black killings?
Because the difference is that Google employee was discussing with other employees company policies internally. While NFL ball chasing idiots were getting involved into national politics outside their organization.
joeyjojojunior saysI love the way people on here must twist and squirm to try to pretend to be consistent.
Not everyone here gets paid to troll like you do.
The NFL assholes are protesting blacks being killed by white cops. That chart clearly shows that's the smallest number of homicides. If these players were REALLY SJW, they should be concerned with ALL homicides.
Why haven't they come out protesting Black on Black killings?
Someone needs to try and educate you, but it's really a lost cause.
Because if you did you forgot to mention that this study was done in HOUSTON.
justme saysBlack people who murder black people get prosecuted and convicted.
They do? Care to provide verifiable stats, or is just another one of your theories that you pulled out of your ass?
(image)
How about you tell us how many of these have been prosecuted and convicted?
errc saysYou’re demanding that the NFL players stop kneeling and you’re demanding that the NFL owners do something about it.
I think the NFL players are brats to kneel.
I think the NFL owners/admins are full of PR Bullshit when they try to dodge taking on the Kneeling by using Freedom of Speech.
For the goddamn upteenth time, the NFL fines and suspends players for saying Dammit, making hand gestures, wearing Cancer Awareness Eyeblack, and basically runs their lives. But on this one issue all of a sudden the NFL is all about FREEDOMZ (tm)? Bullshit PR to dodge dealing with the issue, I say.
The only government action I thought would be necessary is pulling their tax-free, and taxpayer subsidized, largess. There STILL is no reason the NFL should be tax free even when they stand for the pledge going forward.
errc s...
because a few NFL players didn't properly respect a piece of cloth painted red and blue.
errc saysnobody should be compelled to stand for it
You're right. Those people are free to quit, and go play for another professional league.
joeyjojojunior saysHis approval ratings seem to differ with you.
Kinda like all those polls in the days before November 8th.
"How DARE you question 538?! He WILL lose!! Polls are accurate, it's science, just like 32 Genders!"
Why is the NFL getting massive tax breaks while at the same time disrespecting our Anthem, Flag and Country? Change tax law!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 10, 2017
So many amazing tweets today. He knows he won this. Jerry Jones tried to split the difference but the public wasn't fooled, so now he's requiring them to stand.
The pussy gave in to his non-american players yesterday.

A league spokesman said that the owners would discuss the potential change during a meeting next week, Dow Jones reported.
In recent seasons, primarily black professional football players have knelt during the national anthem to protest racial inequality in the United States. The protests started after former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick last year began kneeling during the anthem to protest police mistreatment of black Americans.

Wait, how can the NFL do that, don't the players have "freedom of speech"??
.."Earlier Tuesday, President Donald Trump tweeted that tax laws should be changed so that the NFL doesn't get "massive tax breaks while at the same time disrespecting our Anthem, Flag and Country."
Ahhhh.... money (or lack of) talks where it counts!
