OK, I'll respond to this post.

There wasn't a "right to free speech" in the "private" sector in Nazi Germany, or Stalin's Russia, either. I would call not having the right to speak your mind- or the truth- in the private sector a very bad sign for this nation. It was for them.

Oh, I see, so NOW it is if Nazis and Russians didn't have something that we don't have, then it must be fucked up?

That is like proving a negative.

Utterly ridiculous.

They may not have had Jiffy Pop popcorn, either, but I think we shall survive even though WE DO. That has about the same amount of logic as your wacked statement does.

Insanity.

sometimes its scarey to see how many Americans are willing to sacrifice every last Right we have for a false sense of security

No, there shouldn't be. Free speech should only apply to government actions, not the private sector. A private sector relationship is, by definition, a business relationship, and in such a relationship, either partner has the right to unilaterally decide they no longer wish to do business with the other for any reason they want. A relationship between a sports team and a governing body is the same principle.

My argument is that free speech only applies to government actions, not private-sector ones. What does a sense of security have to do with any of that?

And with that, this thread is done.
