Goddamn I hope you're trolling. Because at this point anyone who doesn't understand what 'freedom of speech' actually protects deserves to get slapped with a rolled-up copy of the constitution

Swear to God, stop invoking the First Amendment in situations where it doesn't apply. The fact that he isn't in jail for what he said means his First Amendment rights are fully intact.

It honestly doesn't matter. This is not a governmental matter. Your employer can and will fire you for making an ass out of yourself if you have a high profile job and it can affect their bottom line.

No, this does not violate the first Amendment. Have you ever actually read the first Amendment? It begins "Congress shall make no law.....". It is ONLY a prohibition on government restriction of speech. The government. That's it. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that private employers are prohibited from firing…

It doesn't violate shit. First Amendment only protects you from the government. Private companies can do what they damn well please in regards to anything you say.

First ammendment is a government thing and not a company thing. Everyone pulls it out but they don't actually understands what it means.

The First Amendment has zero bearing on anything except the government. How do so few Americans actually seem to know their rights?

Totally, I mean look how well the kid turned out!

You know, I'm quite shocked at this as well. Not really SHOCKED shocked, but surprised so many commenters are all "ew, Texas sucks tumbleweed no surfing". I'm a seventh generation Texan. My family fought Santa Anna in the Texas Army during the revolution. I love this state, but I don't HATE California. It's nice!…

As someone who's lived in both Texas and California, I sure wish y'all would stop hating on each other. The states are more similar than they are different when compared to other places in the US.

MLB basically did it to Marge Schott. No reason the NBA can't do it, too.

I still stand by my theory that Raimey intentionally made Spidey 3 bad in retaliation for the Producers forcing him to put Venom into the film. Every time someone mentions the "dance scene" he just snickers to himself a little more...

Spiderman 3 was so obviously written in a board room, by like 20 people, while sitting down staring at a white board with 50 checkboxes next to different demographics that the Producers wanted to satisfy. Basically it is the worst of movie making in the last decade.

This just took a turn into Saints Row territory.

He is the product of Ferndale, California, a proud cow town hidden here behind the Redwood Curtain. It's a small town, filled with the descendents of Swiss/Portagee/Italian cow people who spend a lot of time with cows and who do cow-related things together.

Poutine is that and so much more. I would take standard-issue chip-wagon poutine over Triple Truffle Fries any day. And it would not cost me $14USD.

I have made fun of virtually every single major American city at this point, including my own hometown (repeatedly). Detroit doesn't get a pass, because nowhere gets a pass.

RING THE BELL IN FLAVORTOWN SQUARE BECAUSE GUY REVERE IS RIDING HIS 4-COURSE FLAVOR HORSE THROUGH THE STREETS TO WARN YOU ABOUT HIS BRAND NEW CASH MONEY DELI BRO-GIE JAM PACKED WITH MORE MEAT THAN A DRUNK SORORITY GIRL ON A SATURDAY NIGHT. AND THIS AIN'T NO GAY-OLI MY FRIENDS, OUR STRAIGHT GANGSTER VOLCANO AIOLI SAUCE…

Given your username, I feel like you saw this and went "MY MOMENT HAS ARRIVED."

Yep... a fact that is kind of curiously overlooked here. Granted, it doesn't change the fact that Hamilton will get their first, but he DOES have a sizable head start.
