No gooficus maximus, consequences in his business relationship with his employer. You know, the one who pays his salary.

Pretty much, his 'political statement', or whatever the hell it was is just the cherry on top of his stupid sundae.

You're not being very supportive of "free expression of ideas". That's what you usually call fascism.

Oh God - that is the stupidest comment I've read in some time. It's quite clear you failed to acquire a minimum education in the history of political philosophy and world history of the twentieth century. Continue to play in the shallow end, son. This is above your level of comprehension.

What does this have to do with the 1A? Is someone arguing that he should be arrested?
I was clear that I was expect[ing] the same reaction as was given to those who don't recite the pledge in the video: it's required, and if you don't like it, you should leave.
Worst walk back ever. You still don't understand the Constitution, apparently.

I won't watch the 49ers. If they want to pay Kaepernick the racist, I won't contribute to it.

Must suck to live in a racist country that pays ignorant blacks who can barely read or write millions of dollars, hundreds of times more than teachers or cops or firemen or soldiers, because they are violent playing a game.
Looks like the only thing 1984 got wrong was the date.

I'll bet you like to think of yourself as a free market conservative.

Probably more of an "alt-right conservative" who believes in free market principles that benefit the demographics of his choice.

I support his right to say whatever he wants- no matter how stupid. However, the reality is free speech can have consequences. Freedom doesn't negate consequences. Just like I'm free to rob a bank, I'm also liable to go to jail.

Like ALL political groups don't play favorites. Stop reading Twitter and Gawker for your news. It's rotting your ill-formed 'logic' even further.

Some of us have been calling attention to the alt-right elements on this board for months. It's not new, and it is an accurate descriptor for a large amount of the regulars around here.

Liberals always resort to racism attacks when they lose the argument on merits. No surprise here.

Yup. The alt-right appeals much more to emotion and isn't really ideologically conservative. The way Levin put it recently is that these types are Populist Nationalists - obviously, there's going to be tinges of racism and bigotry with their behavior.
