    If she said that { used those words } then she faces a lawsuit.But I doubt it
    got video'd.But she could find witnesses to the incident.
    This is an assault on Americanism.It cannot stand.There are laws
    against this kind of thing.This is actually worse than breaking Fair Housing
    Act rules.It is blatant discrimination.No one in this Country has any right to
    discriminate when not engaging in lawful conduct.I mean,if Protesting is now
    some god-given right,even when turned violent then what gives.
    Things only give when the Right gives up.The left seldom gives up on their
    authoritarianism.Ever notice that.Like with these Blue State Governors.

    Since LeBron sees fit to stand alongside Kaepernick I think
    it only fitting that Fans play along.They are the ones paying for
    LeBron to showcase his talents.If LeBron is more interested in
    displaying Unamericanism then so be it.Let NBA ticket holders
    decide his fate.That IS Americanism.

    So ... people who decide not to buy pizzas from a particular restaurant (because they don’t like the owner’s politics) is un-American, but people who don’t buy tickets to NBA games (because they don’t like players’ politics) IS American?

    This is projection. You are projecting what progressives do to those with an opposing view onto your political opponents. The data backs this up. Rabid progressives consistently desperson anybody with an opposing view. They have done it so often that Republicans, Independents and half of Democrats are now afraid to voice their opinions. The only group where a majority feel free to voice their opinions are progressives.

    Progressives own the institutions, quit pretending to be a victim. ALL of the victimization today occurs at the hands of progressives.

    OK fine, you're not a Trumper, but You were defending that this guy was flying a Trump flag and in such a way that I got the idea that this woman should suffer some sort of bad consequence for telling people and thus "violating free speech".

    This is big bugaboo of mine, this apparent idea some people have that boycotts are illegal because they violate free speech. How the bloody FRACK can you tell me I HAVE to buy from this guy who supports the biggest ******* in the history of the planet? Why can't I just buy the thing from somebody else, or just not buy it at all?
    What next, do I have to get a MyPillow or shop at Home Depot?

    I was defending his right to fly it. And also defending her right to organise a boycott of his business if she wants to.

    Both of them exercising their 1A rights.

    So, you are saying there is no interest by the right to out left-leaning faculty?

    Somehow, I must have imagined those discussions of universities being left-wing indoctrination centers that must be held accountable.

    How is she going to destroy his life? She has no power. She may point out to her friends on FB that this particular restaurant is flying a Trump flag - but how is that going to destroy his life? He's obviously proud to fly it - he's obviously proud to share his political opinion - and in doing so, he should know that it may offend some. But destroy his life? How?

    LOL! You start a thread lamenting someone's career being destroyed for political reasons, and here you advocate destroying someone's career for political reasons. The hypocrisy.....

    Big difference between taking your business elsewhere and threatening to ruin your business.

    Abuse

    Not just a boycott.
