[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any difference between James Damore and Colin Kapernick expressing an opinion?  Just asking.[/quote]

yes.  James Damore was insubordinate to his employer in a way that made it impossible for him to do his job, and created a hostile work environment.  Colin Kapernick was not.  Any other questions?  [/quote]

Not true, Colin Kapernick was insubordinate to his employer in a way that made it impossible for him to do his job and created a hostile work environment.   That is why he isn't in the league anymore.[/quote]

Who did Colin Kapernick create a[b] hostile work environment[/b] for (based on their membership in a protected class)? Was there something in his contract requiring him to stand for the National Anthem?  And he didn't get fired; he opted out of his contract.  The fact he can't get on a team now is due to team owners' racism, not the other way around.  [/quote]

FWIW, google can be your friend...

Try again, genius.  "Marines" are not a protected class under federal discrimination law.  [/quote]

He was still offended, just like some of the liberals and women at Google.  You can't qualify an "offended" person and clearly reaching on the protected class theory.[/quote]

I don't even know what you're trying to argue.  Kapernick was pretty clearly making statements based on his OWN membership in a protected class; the backlash against him was expressly racist.  Damore made statements AGAINST a protected class, which contributed to a hostile work environment, and justifies his termination.  He also exhibited insubordination against a key policy.  But Kapernick had a contract; Damore did not.  So to the extent that any insubordination from Kapernick could be separated from his protected conduct (unlikely) he still couldn't be fired.  [/quote]
