Quote:If they had been comments about a black player kissing his white girlfriend would you defend such a tweet?

 

Their right to say it, sure.  The content of the tweet?  No.  But I wouldn't defend the content of the tweet for the comments made about Michael Sam either.

Employers should not be able to fine or reprimand employees for doing something within the law on their own free time.  It's ideological discrimination.  

 

I think the fine against the Dolphins player is borderline... it was said about another NFL player, and involved an NFL event.  But I also highly doubt that saying a pick was a horrible pick would draw a fine from the NFL either.
