Oh shit, didn't know the constitution has a day off every week. God damn.
For the record, the constitution covers freedom from percecution from the government persecuting or jailing you for expressing your point of view. It does not protect you from consequences when representing a private entity.
Too many leftist idiots think the first amendment gives them the right to say whatever the hell they want whenever the hell they want and not suffer the consequences.
It's the latter part that is lost on them. You cannot say bomb in a movie theater your yell hijack in an airport and get away with it. Yet to hear leftists tell it, that would also fall under the First Amendment. Except it doesn't and neither does protesting while on company time.
When you work for a private entity, you serve at their leisure and must follow their rules. If the company allows protest, okay. If it does not then the first amendment isn't going to protect you from being fired by that company.
Another thing is that if the company allows you to protest on their time but the customers who purchase their product do not like said protest, that is the company's decision which will put themselves at a significant risk. It is stupid business. Michael Jordan was once asked why he didn't get more politically active when he was a player. His response was genius from a business perspective: " because even Republicans buy shoes." That is a smart businessman who keeps politics, religion, and other divisive influences out of his business, for the sake of continuing to make money. And if you are not in business to make money and you don't understand the point of a business.
If the NFL had a brain, they would demand that all players must stand for the national anthem so, have people going around to the players to explain that national anthem has nothing to do with police brutality but rather respecting men and women who put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms, and then create a part of the NFL office or Commission that would help players who wish to protest various things to do so on their own time with groups that would positively reflect on the league.
Instead of, the numbers for the NFL have been doing the lean ever since Kaepernick started his protest and the sports media started covering it.
And when surveyed, the people who no longer watch the NFL mostly are saying that they stopped not because of slower boring games but because of Rich, spoiled athletes disrespecting the flag, and the men and women who served. Leftists and leftists in the media may do everything with pretzel logic that they can talk around this, but that remains the number one polled reason why people are turning the NFL out.
And it isn't just the NFL. And it's not just people who voted for Trump.
The Emmys had their lowest rating ever. This summer was the worst for Hollywood movies in quite some time. The reason is really simple. Escapism.
People watch sports and movies to get away from the crazy world. It's a way to tune everything else out for something fun and engaging. When idiots drag politics in to sports on game day, and into their movies then it ceases to be escapism and the things that people are trying to escape from are present in their entertainment.
To the dumb leftist, they see this as the perfect opportunity to win people over to their side of the argument. The reality is people get fed up and tune out. They go find their escapism elsewhere. When it comes to big business, you can either work to earn a profit, or hold strongly to the political ideal, but not both. Injecting politics into anything will kill a business.
The people in their deluded Echo Chambers won't be able to grasp this to do their own cognitive dissonance, but I will be quite curious to see what the ratings for the NFL are over the next 3 weeks.
