Venice Festival just previewed a moon landing film that omits Armstrong planting an American Flag at the landing site.

A Goddamn Canadian is saying the years of spending the equivalent of hundreds of billions of American (not Canadian, not Jamaican, not European) Tax Dollars was a "Global Achievement".

No it was the fuck not a Global Achievement. It was an American Achievement.

Nike: Instead of bettering the conditions of our Asian slave-workers, we fight for multi-millionaire NFL kneelers rights!

Ah yes, I forgot. If you make a million dollars, you forfeit your right to protest. That's in the Constitution somewhere, right?

You have to explain the drop off that exceeds comparable Big League Sports (ie NBA, NHL, NBA, not NASCAR) and at a pace disproportionate to the unplugging of cable.


NASCAR drop is higher.

"The Richmond race had a 1.8 rating and three million viewers on Fox, down 38% in ratings and 34% in viewership from the 2017 spring race there (2.9, with 4.6 million viewers) — and down 42% in ratings and 36% in viewership from the 2016 race (3.1, with 4.7 million viewers)."

Not the NBA, where Adam Silver threatened to discipline any kneelers, in a league where pretty much every player supported the kneeling movement.


If you say so...

"Worse, compared with the final game last year, the 2018 final game was down a whopping 30 percent over Game Five from 2017 (which itself brought 24.5 million pairs of eyes to their TV sets)."

No, you can protest all you want in your free time - and even at work if your employer allows it. Most don't.

Yet the Indy Racing League's ratings are improving.

Nike is saying that he "Sacrificed Everything".

Pretty sure Kap is still a millionaire and has virtually every elite media and Corporate head sucking his dick.

Yes, he hasn't played QB in the NFL for 2 years. That's a pretty big sacrifice.

Also from that article:

"With ratings struggles seen across television no matter the sport, any league that can get any increase is certainly good news."

Thanks for posting that.

It's funny that the NFL's prime audience is Middle Aged and especially Boomer Seniors.

The morons don't understand 18-35 Soyboys aren't going to start watching NFL unless they switch to tag foosball and have Furries get their nuts stamped on by Rosie O'Donnell at halftime.

"oooh yeah, punish my cruel White Privilege!"

Again--what does someone's occupation have to do with anything? You can only protest if you work blue collar?

Kapernick is an employee on the company dime during prime work hours.

His situation is no different than a Rockette suddenly jumping in front of the stage and lecturing the audience about supporting Genderqueer Furries or they're Nazis, just before the curtain is raised.

That's not what I asked. I'm wondering why you and Mell keep stressing that he's an entertainer who makes a lot of money? How is that relevant to whether or not an employer can ban his employee from free speech?

Possibly. But notice it was a forum for discussing corporate culture, and those who moaned about evil White Men weren't fired.

Maybe Politics needs to be added to non-discrimination laws. Tolerance!

That's what he was, that was his job. There's no doubt his actions cost the NFL at least some paying customers and created problems for the enterprise.

You missed the bit where the Google Employee was discussing corporate culture on an internal forum about... Corporate Culture.

Is it? How about the long screeds about White Male "entitlement" (aka actually knowing their job) we know was posted to that same forum?

Kapernick, as an athlete, is THE focus of the organization's primary revenue generation stream, Football Games.

That's up to the employer right? I'm assuming he was an at will employee?

Or do you want the nanny state to decide who an employer can fire too.

Yep--and why do you feel that's important to keep mentioning? That is my question. How does it affect the issue of protesting and an employer firing the employee?
95   MisdemeanorRebel   2018 Sep 5, 1:29pm  

You're comparing an employee using an internal forum set up for that purpose to discuss corporate culture, that nobody outside the company will see, with an entertainer deliberately making a political statement in front of paying customers at the prime revenue generating event.

Nah, because too many SJWs are getting into Big Tech, like they run Academia, and using it as a bully pulpit.

Don't confuse me with Rubin, Kristol, and Cuckservatives. Principles have to be balanced by Survival.

We don't let power companies or phone companies terminate user accounts for political speech they don't like, or as a result of astroturf demonization campaigns, so why allow Media Giants to do it?

He’s free to protest when not on employer clock.

Exactly. Kapernick has the entire off-season to complain about "Whiteness"
