Punishment by the government for speech. You use the NFL as a comparison? Good lord. You are way too worried about trying to catch "the board" being hypocritical. I'm beginning to doubt your e-persona

Dude, can you READ? I specifically stated that it was not the First Amendment version of "free speech."

Or are you one of those literalists who who cannot accept that there may be a concept of "free speech" broader than that set forth in the First Amendment?

The Kneelers do not raise a valid First Amendment issue. This does NOT mean that their scenario does NOT raise questions of "free speech" in a broader sense.

Can you not read? I stated it was government suppression and punishment of speech. I never said UK had 1st Amendment rights. The point is you brought up the NFL as an attempt to show the board is hypocritical. The board is criticising government punishment of speech. Instead of putting words in my mouth and assuming I didn't understand your post...perhaps realize what the argument is actually about.

Good lord, judges must have fun with you.
