Quick reminder that the same people upset about the Eric Donald suspension were probably fine with Colin Kaepernick getting black balled

Poor Colin

People are missing the point. It's their "Code of Conduct", but the bigger narrative is how much of that is being influenced by an increase of censorship online and in social media as a whole, and was the suspension even warranted.

"They don't need to tell the public". Sure, and that's a great way to stir up suspicion and speculation among the fan base about what kind of league it'll be, what it's identity will be, and how transparent it will be.

Being offended is one of the most subjective things there is. So it'd be nice to know if what he posted was really against their code of conduct, or that they are being heavily subjective. Maybe he can sue for wrongful termination.

Who cares? It's not like there's going to be a public vote by the community whether or not the suspension will be lifted. His EMPLOYER already handled it. It's simple...be mindful of what you post. Very easy lesson to learn.

You would think that it's an easy lesson to learn, but for a large segment of society it clearly isn't. Many think that anything said on social media should be free of consequence. Others think that memes don't count as speech. Some don't read, can't grasp, or are just too obstinate to understand what their signing of a contract actually means.

No matter how many cautionary tales we see, there are always going to be a few that don't get it or have to "be real" and will get themselves canned.

Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

Exactly! It's not rocket science. If you think it MIGHT be offensive, then don't say or post it. I guess people don't care about their jobs or taking care of their family anymore. I know I'm not messing up my good paying job just to post or say a stupid joke.

Yet (this is just an example) people will debate the Colin Kap vs NFL suspension for months and years, question the integrity of the NFL, question their 'code of conduct' policies, ask for transparency, etc. What's wrong with doing the same here? Especially since an overly-sensitive society can influence these decisions. "Don't post anything offensive". What does that even mean anymore, lol the word 'offensive' has become so flexible that it caters to the hyper sensitive. There used to be more free speech AND they kept their job.

Duh. But you're only looking at it one way.
