[quote=Anonymous][quote=PaleoConPrep][quote=Anonymous][quote=PaleoConPrep][quote=Anonymous]I read the story about this in the WaPo.  I agree that the professor should have been kicked out, too -- you shouldn't yell at patrons.  That said, a private gym has the right to exclude Nazis if they want to.[/quote]
The gym certainly has the right to do it. I just don't understand why they did it.  Before long, Right-wingers will have to establish private gyms exclusively for Right-wingers.[/quote]

OP, right-wingers are welcome at any gym.  Richard Spencer is not "a right-winger".

I think the gym could have taken a courageous stand and kept him on.  However, their business model is increasing the number of satisfied gym-goers, not reducing it.  So they kicked out the problematic gym-goer.  [/quote]
Right. I agree it's the right move from a business prospective. Where do you draw the line though? Let's say Pat Buchanan worked out at a gym, and was confronted by someone. Do you think he should be booted out? How do you decide who's welcome and who's not?[/quote]

It's an easy line.  Pat Buchanan is welcome.  Spencer is not.   [/quote]
