What about a team owner who has contributed money to initiatives against gay marriage?  Will the PC police come for him/her next?[/quote]

Maybe or maybe not. But it happened with Mozilla:  http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/04/03/us-mozilla-ceo-resignation-idUSBREA321Y320140403

Again, the point is that this was a [b]commercial[/b] concern, [b]not a legal concern. [/b]The government did NOT go after Eich -- quite the contrary, the Constitution (1st amenment) protects his right to think what he wants. Instead, Mozilla's own Board went after Eich because the browser company was being threatened with a boycott (if you bother to read the article at the link). In other words, Eich was bad for Mozilla's business.[/quote]

PP again. When you talk about the "PC Police," what you (and Fox News) really mean is that there are enough people who oppose racism that a boycott threat could have teeth. Let's be clear: it's the threat of a critical mass behind a boycott, and not any esoteric "PC thought police" thing dreamt up in somebody's paranoid thoughts, that has the NBA and Mozilla running. That's a good thing, IMO. [/quote]
