If you cost your employer as much money as he cost the NFL, you probably would be out a job also.
Good riddance.

Are you this arrogant in person or just behind a keyboard? The guy made a statement and you took an unwarranted shot at him like the liberal jackass you are.
When you go 3-6 and 2-10 doesn't matter what you're throwing. He was 6 touchdowns to 5 interceptions in 2015. He had 16 touchdowns to 4 in 2016 with pretty middle of the road numbers.
Does he have a job if he's not a distraction? Prolly. Welcome to the real world.

Not really sure what the agenda really is around this guy. From the fan's standpoint, nobody really cares. The Fact is, if the OWNER'S felt like he was worth the investment, he would be on a team. Apparently, they don't.
The point may not even be about CK. The point is they just gave an inexperienced QB who hasnt proven crap the biggest contract in football .
Pro sports hasn’t been about what athletes have proven on the field or court in a long time. It’s all about potential.
You absolutely can fire someone for their political views if it affects your work and you are displaying those views on company time.
And? No one ever remembers the followers, just the leader. He started and now has to lay in the bed he made. We have many freedoms in this country, but freedom from the consequences of our actions is not one of them.
Does the First Amendment protect my right to share political opinions and keep my job?
The short answer: If you’re not a government employee: No.
This issue also came up during protests in Charlottesville, Va., when a man who reportedly attended the white nationalist march lost his job at a hot dog chain in Berkeley, Calif. The First Amendment guarantees freedom of religion, expression, assembly and the right to petition. The amendment prohibits the government from interfering in the free exercise of speech and religion.
That’s why it may give government employees additional protection, since any action against an employee may be considered government action, said Paula Brantner, a senior adviser at Workplace Fairness, an employment law nonprofit.
But it doesn’t necessarily protect private-sector employees who make statements or donations in favor of causes their employers disagree with, Mark Tushnet, a professor of law at Harvard Law School, previously told MarketWatch. Private-sector employees are generally employed at the will of the employer, Tushnet said, and their employers can fire them as they see fit. “That includes disagreement with what they say in public,” Tushnet said.
“A lot of people invoke the First Amendment in a private setting, thinking they have an absolute right to say what they want and speak what they want,” Brantner said. “They find out it’s not really true in a private workplace.”
Obviously you do. You commented.
Wow, you're right. I guess I "don't care" so much, I was compelled to comment. Perhaps I could care, less.
Mike, you are correct (for once), you will also get sued for wrongful termination though. So there's that.
Is a monopoly considered a company? Just curious.
Finally, is it affects or effects?
I would say it’s a law suit not won very often then if (and that’s a big if) the employer can show the employees disrupted workplace productivity, created a hostile work environment or used company equipment/supplies to to promote the employees personal views.
Hasn't there been a few people fired for taking a political stand. I seem to remember I guy being fired for posting a video and taking a stand against Chick Fil, and I think there have been some other high profile examples.
