Interesting to see the crossover between people who thought the NFL banning kneeling for the anthem was a First Amendment debacle, but think ABC didn't raise any First Amendment issues by firing Roseanne. (/1)

For me, they're both private corporations that get to decide how certain speech impacts their product. So while I think the NFL handled things poorly, I'm not supremely troubled by their decision, and I think ABC was right to dump Roseanne. (END)
Both are based on money. NFL gets paid by DOD, ABC protecting their business. It’s the same thing.

Comparing the outcome of blatant racism vs a peaceful protest with the umbrella of spree speech is a weird thing to do.

Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. Colin Kap lost a hell of a lot of money for kneeling but he was never silenced, same w Roseanne.
