The Kneeling can Continue

[domer76]

The first amendment does not protect anyone from anything. it is simply a stating of the rights a citizen has. If the NFL wants to take away their constitutional rights, they could have a law suit that would cripple them financially.

Actually, only the government can infringe on the First Amendment right. The NFL can't. A business can't. A private business can fire employees for certain speech, but that's not a First Amendment violation.

Kneeling isn't a term of employment.

Moron

You are one of the dumbest acts of s*** on the planet. Banning the kneeling is definitely a term of employment. The problem with you stupid trumpsters is that you're stupid.

Some lawyers say that kneeling is indeed a speech

[katzgar]

Not in this case, apparently. The Operations Manual is reportedly outside the scope of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

We're not talking about the operations manual we are talking about the NFL owners voting on a ban for kneeling

[Controlled Opposition]

Note my apathy.

[Althea]

Changes to the terms of employment by law must be negotiated

Which might be why the league chose to impose fines/penalties on the team as opposed to the players?

[CFM]

No question, you certainly are inferior

No question, you sure are a nigger.

[Darth Omar]

The NFL players are union. Changes to the terms of employment without negotiation are illegal. The kneeling ban will be overturned if it ever goes to court. trumpsters are uneducated morons.

Then put it up to a union vote.

The kneelers are a minority amongst the players. Most of these guys look at their jobs as bread and butter—like a majority of Americans do. Not doubt many of them are rightfully thankful they can make outrageous money for playing a game and the kneelers are jeopardizing it with their SJW showboating.

Yeah, dumb fucks like Rudy.

I see. Obey and tow the corporate line, eh?

Sappy comeback^.

It’s good enough for us working stiffs.

Sappy comeback^.

he is a backwoods mississippi racist

[Darth Omar]

Yeah, dumb fucks like Rudy.

It is a form of speech.

And I am ‘free’ to enagage in speech my employer disagrees with but when my speech becomes disruptive in the workplace, my employer is ‘free’ to penalize or even fire me because they have rights, too. Freedom abounds, what a great country.

This shouldn’t be a difficult concept.

Except the owners have chosen not to punish the players in any way, shape or form, have they? More than just tacit approval of the protest.
