If I owned a team, I would not have a player who disrespected the flag during the national anthem and he would be cut.
The First Amendment does not prevent private employers from firing employees for whatever reason they like.
If Godell can fine a player for excessive celebration ( No Fun League) he can fine someone for disrespecting the flag during the national anthem. But he won't do that because Godell is totally bought into the prevailing PC culture.
Isn't it technically a call for political correctness when you want Godell to fine players because what they are doing offends you? Again, this isn't the P&R forum, but I find your perspective interesting. It just seems like we as a society are supposed to suck it up and stop being easily-offended crybabies UNLESS someone is doing something offensive regarding the flag. In that case it is good to be offended and call for help?
Again, I would think the people who are so proud to be "un PC" and eager to tell everyone that their feelings don't matter and that they need to stop being wimps would be able to get over something like this.
