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

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

Again, the point is that this was a commercial concern, not a legal concern. 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.

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]
Please conservatives enforce their own brand of PCism. Just look at Fox news. [/quote]
