If a top executive at Mnuchin’s old firm wanted to support a candidate that Mnuchin opposed, would he have been fired? No. Why, because he made the company a lot of money. Same here. People pay to see the players, not the owners. Firing a player for kneeling during the anthem is dumb. It’s the owner shooting himself in the foot.

“They can do free speech on their own time.”

I think what Stevie meant to say was, “I can fly private jets on my own dime.”

Well, since the owners seem cool with the protests, that would make the players’ time before the games “their own time.”

You know, James Fallows as usual put his finger on it. It’s not whether or not you can or should be fired for exercising your freedom of speech in a way your employer doesn’t like. What’s different and wrong is that no President has ever before called for people to be fired for exercising their rights in order to demagogically whip up his base. Presidents, he said, ordinarily don’t go out of their way to inflame the deepest division in our history.

Where in the Constitution would I find the order that Americans only have free speech on their own time?

Because republicans have always stood for government regulation of the relationship between business owners and their employees.
