The league makes a fortune off the lifetime effort, hard work and backs of their players. It's not a product they create, it's a talent and ability they seek and compete for. |

I did not challenge Ms. Gellar's right to free speech. I stood in opposition to her inciting for the sake of inciting and hate. A reckless act of idiocy, steeped in bigotry and disrespect with a high potential for violence. An act that endangers further the public and those that bravely serve our nation. And yes, had someone been shot and killed she would have celebrated the chance to advance further her hate based on it while claiming total innocence of her role in the event of such a tragic occurrence. |

Of course their are ramifications and they won't end with a loss of endorsements but with those members of the public that these protests are about and whose stories folks like you ignore. His protest is not "convenient" it is courageous given the known degree of backlash he knew would be echoed back. Oh and crappy team? Did you happen to catch Monday Night Football last night?

I thought the Eagles played the worst team in the NFL this week until I saw last night's game. SF won't win 5 games unless they play the Rams 4 more times. WTH is so courageous about it? He gets paid millions of dollars to watch a bunch of other overpaid physical freaks play a game while holding a clipboard. I really don't care what his opinion is - means nowt to me but I'm glad you're so deeply touched and attuned to the problems in the black community. |

Freedom of speech for the privileged who push your narrative, how transparent |

Is the NHL at will employment or guaranteed? |

The players of the NHL rock. They have been by far the most socially progressive athletes out there. |

Last I heard, at will means the employer can dismiss the employee for any reason as long as the reason does not violate the law. Are you saying the coach has no right to bench a player deemed unfit to play? |
