    Work isn't about politics. You have no right to spout your political BS publicly at work! Owners should shut all this shit down! They are there to play the game for our entertainment. Spout your BS on your own time!

    You don't seem to grasp the concept of leverage. Suzie the payroll clerk needs to be careful using her company platform and time to blast controversial political memes. She's replaceable and her company doesn't need the headache. They'll have a new Suzie before the weekend.

    A star basketball player has a lot more leeway to say whatever the fuck he wants. Sure, if the owner decides he crossed the line and is a net loss for the franchise due to his activism, then maybe he'll get cut. But in the case of the NBA that's yet to happen. Perhaps Race's theory of declining ratings will change that calculus and outspoken ballplayers will start getting cut if they don't shut up. The market may finally speak in the other direction. Or maybe not. Right now the players have fucking leverage and you're just here to whine about it.
    He can say exactly what the boss says he can say. You do not have free speech at your place of employment. Their fame lets them do that off the clock. No need to stink up the work place and cause people that don't agree with you not to spend money on the team via tickets, clothing etc. Bad business.

    I could care less about the NBA. Not a sport I like so fuck it. Let it die from it's own stupidity. You can cry.

    As long as you can care less, that’s all the NBA is asking of you right now. Keep hope alive.

    That's the bosses fault. If it kills the game they lose.

    I oppose the thought that it's the players right to speak out while on the company dime. That's really the narrative right now.

    He said in Washington state where Inslee says its run by Science he can go to a court and change his gender

    Truth hurts fascist leaders

    Thank you for that irrelevant comment

    But you invoked fascism, old boy. That word doesn’t mean what you apparently think it does.
  • RaceBannonRaceBannon Member, Swaye's Wigwam Posts: 105,453 Founders Club
    Because Inslee is a fascist who has destroyed numerous businesses with his fake science

    And the Seahawks are supporting him

    And science says gender is determined by a court filing

    Like I said, sit it out. We know you vote for this idiots and support firing people for telling the truth

    Dori's comment seemed pretty innocuous to me.

    As for Inslee, he's gotten Covid right, but he's not a great governor. Still, the GOP can't figure out how to pull itself out of the ditch on the right hand side of the road. Not much of a choice.

    Inslee didn’t get Covid right. The fuck out of here with that bullshit.

    Inslee instituted the one size fits all plan. Banning outdoor fishing in Eastern Washington wasn't science. Schools closed today isn't science.

    They suspend him from doing pre and post game but not from doing his M-F show. So they are trying to have it both ways.

    Way too PC for my taste. Pretty much a nothing burger of a comment.
