Somehow I doubt this survives a lawsuit since you can't even force schoolchildren to do the pledge and poo poo but then again this is the Trump Era and that probably means this will make it to the Supreme Court and in a few years every company or school that wants to can institute a forced daily Trump/Flag Respect session and fire you if you don't participate.

Difference between this and schoolkids is that schools are public institutions but the NFL is a private one.

True, and generally the SC seems to say companies are allowed to fire you for an act even when it's a 1A political statement. The thing I'm wondering about is if language requiring someone to "stand and respect the flag" etc, is covered. Compelling someone to act a certain way while pre-emptively threatening them with retaliation seems like a different game. And what happens when a player kneels and says they're doing it because they respect the flag and what it stands for (which I believe one of the original dudes said they were doing, they equated kneeling to flying a flag at half mast), they just don't agree with the idea that only right wing CHUDs get to interpret what respect is.

And Foster is free, all DV charges dropped and gun charge reduced to a misdemeanor. The DA will probably face a pretty harsh review, the judge was apparently not at all happy with him.

Speak truth, Doug:


quote:

In an interview on 710 ESPN Seattle on the Bob Groz and Tom show, receiver Doug Baldwin said he was not surprised but that “I’m disappointed’’ in the ruling saying “the NFL cares about one thing, and that’s the NFL, that’s the NFL’s bottom line. I may be privy to some different information because I’ve been in conversations with Roger Goodell and Troy Vincent and the leadership of the NFL in regards to the Players Coalition and what we’re trying to get out of that. So honestly, I’m not surprised. I’m disappointed.”

Baldwin called the ruling evidence of “a lack of understanding (of the players’ views) and to me this just further punctuates the tone deafness or the disconnect between the NFL and its players.’’

Baldwin also said the policy goes in line with what he characterized as lack of good faith in the league’s previous meetings with players about how the league could best support organizations and charities. Baldwin said the NFL wanted to support organizations that weren’t necessarily those that the players supported.

“It’s more of a PR move to me more than anything,’’ Baldwin said. “Not really trying to get to the gist of it.’’

The irony here is that by banning protests, the NFL has made that issue a constant presence. It'll be brought up over and over again because the discussion will now be focused on which player is bucking the rules. They're loving themselves over.

Weed charge against Foster has been dropped, though he still may be penalized by the NFL. Legally, all that's left is the misdemeanor gun charge, which probably won't go far (especially considering the background of that charge). Jun 6th is the hearing.

Yeah. There's 0 enthusiasm, bigger pauses, and none of the specific praise that he usually doles out.

That's not Pete enthusiastically doubling down.

otoh I get the feeling that Pete actually reads enough Peterson that if the reporter asked him about his Sexual Thanos program to have the govt force women to gently caress the incels he'd probably be able and willing to defend it. The only cover I have left for respecting him and anyone who supports him is that they don't actually ask him anything like this.
