You asked if it was professional or appropriate to take a stand or make political statements at work. You didn’t mention it also had to involve the NFL. I answered your question.
Quote:Don't get me wrong, if an employer is doing horrible things to employees, of course I think employees have a right to stand up, but that is not what is happening.
My answer didn’t involve what the employer was doing to employees, but rather what the employer was doing to customers.
You don’t get to reframe my answer because it doesn’t fit your narrative.
Quote:In this case the employees are using the fact that their employer has a national stage to push their social justice messages that have nothing to do with the NFL as a business.
The employee worked hard to reach a level of success that provides them with access to the national stage. The NFL doesn’t pick people at random out of obscurity to come play for the NFL.
Without the players the NFL has no stage. Plus, in this case the NFL commissioner has stated how they handled this issue in the past was wrong. Thus ownership is embracing or at the very least tolerating what is going on. I guarantee you an organization which tries to monetize everything such as the NFL didn’t reach that conclusion without studying the effect on profitability and they are going which way the wind is blowing them.
