Pure speculation on your part. The long and short of it is, if you're making the NBA money then your welcome at the table. When your public or private life looks like it may cost the NBA money, sponsors, or cause bad press, then you will be shown the door.

I'm just pointing out the fact that you have to inject religion into everything... Why'd you feel the need to put religion in there? Oh yeah, because you're a holy crusader who thinks everyone is against Christianity.

Same question could have been asked without including religion.

He did address the point.

He addressed the point of you being a religious hack.

If the majority of the employees are Christian AND these employees are so special in their abilities that his business is exclusively based upon customers paying to see then work...

AND

These Christian employees are so upset that they may stop working...

AND

the statements are made at the most crucial point of the business cycle...

AND

There is a franchise agreement that says you won't harm the business...

Then, yes. You will be fired.

You are missing the bigger issue. When the NSA gives our enemies our soundbites in any context they will be used against us.


Soundbites and recordings are the new thing. Remember Romney being recorded with his 47% comment or whatever it was. I am waiting on this to evolve where the Liberals can use the NSA metadata to their advantage.

I could reverse your logic and say that only black, gay or Muslim comments get people in trouble. I'm not one of those Christians that gets offended by others words anyway.

You put all the stupid emoticons you want it doesn't change anything.
Jesus said if you are persecuted for being a busybody or for doing wrong, then you should expect it. Put if it happens because of his name, then rejoice. So why would I be surprised or upset by some internet tough guys who use derogatory words about me?

Maybe you should hire a lawyer to read a franchise contract if you ever plan on owning one.
Yeah. Apparently he's a bit ignorant of what "own your own company" means. Sterling doesn't "own the company".

At least I don't think everyone is out to get all Christians and feel the need to interject it into anything I discuss...

Um. Nope. The "principle" you articulated sort of requires OWNING "the company".
