No problem with it at all even if it was twisted into something it was not. If you read the transcripts he was saying those two playing together would be like Hitler and the prime minister playing together. He didn't say Oprama was hitler, he was just showing the absurdity of those two who are so opposed to each other playing golf together.

But that doesn't matter, what matters is that ESPN has the right to fire/hire anybody they want as a private company. I could care less if they fired him for that crappy hat he had on. Doesn't matter.

I see the liberals also support ESPN in this.

Now will the liberals on here (tick, dsl, mook etc) say it's OK for Bank of America to go out and fire any employee with an Oprama bumper sticker?

What say you? Would you be as OK with them firing people over supporting Oprama as you are with them doing away with the MNFB song over what Hank said?

Comparing those situations is retarded. You sir are retarded.

I would be OK if a BoA employee went on a national "news" program drunk and or high said something retarded and got fired.

There, that is close to an equivalent situation. Retard.

Don't like their hair color? Fine.

Fire em for smokin? Yep.

Whatever they want.

Employees are hired to benifit the company and when the company decides they are no longer needed then I am fine for them letting them go.

Just like I am fine with the employee finding another job.

This is provided no contract was broken (if the company or the employee has to provide notice by contract etc).

Now because I support tht right doesn't mean I think it is the right thing to do (fire someone for their hair color for example) but I still support their right to do it.

WTF was Fox thinking? Why are Bocephus' political musings newsworthy?

You didn't have 29 years and 11 months towards a 30 year pension either.
