Only if you agree with PC can someone speak freely.
What happened to ESPN’s vaunted support for “free speech”?
I’m sure they’re out there fighting this injustice visited on Steve Clevenger.
He should have just mooned everyone during the national anthem, he could have been a hero.
You hurt somebody's feewings!
Don’t you love tolerance? You better!
Pray America wakes
Black Privilege: you get to take a dump on the National Anthem during the game
White dis-Privilege: you get suspended without pay for saying the truth on your own time
I guess the First Amendment only applies to first class Citizens.
This guy is obviously not a first class Citizen, by someone’s standards.

Kaepernick has the right to free speech, Clevenger does not.
PC fascism on full display.
The Mariners feel so strongly about this that they demand to return Clevenger to Baltimore and will take Trumbo back! /sarc
Don’t insult the animals.
The union should fight this. This is what the union is for.
I hope Mariners fans stay away from Safeco Field for the rest of the season.
Meanwhile, Kaepernick takes a knee.
Seriously... get to the bad part about what he said that was wrong!
Nothing good ever comes from a Twitter post. Except maybe for Donald Trump.
Supporting rioters gets one kudos.
Stating a truthful opinion about rioters gets one suspended.
Only in Hussein Obama’s America.
Any FReeper who HASN'T boycotted the big leagues I think it's time to start.
When he is batting .221 the team is not going to back him up.
Had he been batting .345 with 36 homers, he would still be there.
I agree with Clevenger. And wish every sports team and entertainment company would act exactly like the Mariners.
If Clevenger wants to be paid to entertain he can’t say things that lose money for his employer.
The 49ers and NFL should take a lesson from the Mariners. Though the real issue is the substance of the statement not the policy and I’m sure the 49ers and Mariners would both be doing the opposite if Clevenger and Kaepernick had traded issues.
I bet front offices in MLB are dying to have someone take a knee at the beginning of games. After all MLB is just BLM backwards. But in MLB player self policing is much easier and more effective. No one enjoys 90+ mph in the neck, so if someone has a beef eventually you or a teammate will pay. There’s 162 games to get it done. I bet more players would get stuck in ribs over supporting BLM nonsense by protesting the anthem than calling rioters who destroy property animals who should be caged on twitter.
