Fox Sports anchor blasts Trump for attacking NFL players

. . . that what comes out of this is a debate about the extent to which employers can punish workers for exercising their free speech rights on national matters of concern and even on matters going on involving their workplace. At my own employer, I know that if I publically criticize a policy choice by my college president (as distinguished from my discussing proprietary, internal deliberations), I am going to incur nearly instant retaliation.

The fact that the public is mostly disgusted with calls by Trump to have the owners fire players for their political speech should draw attention to practices by owners of other businesses that retaliate for political speech and start to move us toward ending these practices.
