It wasn't his "thoughts" that got him in trouble (with the FREE MARKET), it was the words he said OUT LOUD.
Yeah, but the gay dude kissing his boyfriend in front of all the cameras was totally professional and in line, right? He made a public display, seems to me if someone wants to publically comment on it, then that should be their right. He was acting in an unprofessional manner. You brought up making such a comment at work, and I can assure if two gay guys kissed while at work in front of everyone, they would be in as much trouble for the unprofessional PDA in an inappropriate setting. So why was that okay, but any negative comments about it are not? Hypocrisy abounds.
Yes, it was. It was in his home. You knew that right? Is the NFL a profession where PDAs are discouraged? Do you need the pictures? I assume you've watched the draft before, yes? Have you seen players when they are drafted? They hug mom and kiss the wife. You've seen this, I know you have.
If you work in an environment where PDAs are discouraged, then anyone displaying one is subject to punishment. When I was in the service, PDAs in uniform were discouraged except when deploying and returning. That applies to everyone.
Nobody says you can't comment. Go ahead...I'm just not sorry that you will no longer be ignored and you may suffer consequences for your actions
anymore than I'm not sorry you can't call black people the N word in public.
