    WRONG.

    You represent the company you work for... especially if you are a personality FOR that place.

    That's life. Not illegal.

    You're FREE to say whatever you want without being arrested.

    That's where it ends.

    Free to get punched in the lips for coming at people sideways too. Birch glass figgaz.

    You don't understand the First Amendment.

    Go tell your boss to "go **** himself". Then let us know if freedom of speech kept you your job.

    If you're so certain I'm wrong and you're right, you have nothing to fear. FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!!

    Go ahead.

    As someone who works at a job that is in the public eye, I always have to be careful as to what I say in a public setting. People who work in such jobs live in a glass house and every statement, or opinion they make will be scrutinized. I don't have a Facebook account, or speak my political views in any public forum for that reason.

    You can't face criminal charges for your statements, but a person's public statements can cost them their job. Most companies have a standard operating policy that the employee must agree to when hired. Violating that policy gets them a pink slip. Right or wrong, that's just the way it is.

    The US military just released a message to all military members about social media posts. We can be held accountable for questionable posts and specifically during times of elections, it is not allowed for a military member to post who they would vote for or suggest who not to vote for.
    It has even been very vocalized by many employers that they will look at your social media accounts prior to hiring. Immaturity is not advised.

    As far as Schilling's case, I don't think he should have been fired for that post, but I also don't know if ESPN specifically told employees not to comment on it. I will say that like many others pointed out, he's not the first and won't be the last to post a stance on social media, and it does seem as if ESPN is ok with one stance on issues even if not all of their employees are.

    That's completely different and I'm sure is outlined in your workplace conduct guide. The subject we are discussing had nothing to do with his employers period.

    Freedom of speech means you cannot be arrested for what you say. there are limits to that too. If you yell fire in a crowded theater and people run over each other, you can be charged. If you threaten the President, you can be charged. That said, the 1st amendment doesn't protect your job or reputation. Watch what you say. You have the right to say what you want, and people have the right to call you an ******* for doing so. Your boss is also well within his right to fire you for being an ******* in his/her opinion. you can think the 1st amendment shuld protect you from those things, but it doesn't. Therefore, it doesn't matter what you think.
