Good point... but I don’t think Phil was an employee in the “classic sense” of the word. He was contracted for services.

Call A&E 212-210-1400

[ken5050]

They should then tell A&E that they won’t renew...

[TopDeadCenter]

Maybe someone already made this connection, but could Phil’s comment been made a big deal since he snubbed Barbara Walters?
If A&E were so upset then why not pull the show? As of last night their website didn’t even elude to Phil being punished. This could be a ratings stunt because by not watching DD that could be construed as support for A&E’s punishment.

[SERKIT]

Community organizers demand coordination of opinion. Get with it. Opinion only counts if you agree with the politically-correct wussies. Any opinion (or belief) contrary to theirs is heresy and needs to be silenced. Central planning at its best.

[Drango]

The gastopo and lavender mafia will win this unless there is massive pushback.

Commercials: are for other shows on their network.
X Box

KMart

Pizza Hut

Home Depot

“Isn’t employer discrimination based upon religion or creed illegal?”

Phil is not an A&E employee, he is either an employee or co-owner of the production company or both that produces the show. A&E buys the show.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

What about the rest of the Duck Dynastion family? They aren’t walking out?

The only thing that will work with A&E is make them pay. Take it to another network.

[Thorliveshere]

Why? A&E is going to lose millions over this....Let them go to another network.

I agree, let them go to a different network. I hate to say this, but aren't we "stifling" A&E's right to watch content they want to air as much as they are stifling Robertson's right to say what he wants.

I say move on to some place that wants him and his family.

JC Penny condition should be the example of how companies undermine morality by promoting the gay lifestyle.
NO where did Phil ‘hate’ on gays. The Christian way is to ‘Love the sinner. Hate the sin.’ LGBT should understand there’s nothing WE can do to change the word of God.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

That would be...AWESOME...!

Some how, though, I would bet even-odds that if the NFL gets wind of such an effort, they will add “duck calls” to their “verboten in the stadium” list and confiscate every duck call at the gate.

I read and reread everything that was posted regarding Phil's remark. I cannot find anything he said that was derogatory to homosexuals. He only said that most men find the vagina more pleasurably sexually than an anus. And most men prefer women as sexual partners. I agree with Phil. If that is offensive to homosexuals, so be it.

[RegulatorCountry]

I didn’t mention A&E. He is under contract for consideration, that being his presence and performance on these shows. That is an employer-employee relationship under the law.

For supporting them outside the A&E network.

Fame and fortune doesn't come without a price........

They owned the big houses and lots of land before the show started. Their success is why the show started.

Many of them have said many times in different interviews that the show and popularity will not last. They have said they will make the most of it while it does, and that includes using it as a platform to get out the word of God.

Look at this impromptu poll on Hollywood Reporter. Here's the link to the comment: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/duck-dynastys-phil-robertson-indefinite-666808

(Comment is undergoing 'moderation' but you can still see it and vote if you like.)

[DAVEY CROCKETT]

DONE

[NY.SS-Bar9]

I suspect the Robertsons could buy A&E

[Hot Tabasco]

They have said they will make the most of it while it does, and that includes using it as a platform to get out the word of God.

I think they have succeeded in doing that. If they stay on, it will be under A&E's rules of censorship and I don't believe the Robertson's will compromise their faith just to stay on the air. At least I hope they don't.

Like you said, they don't need the money since they were already successful...
