Imagine that you ordered breakfast somewhere and they gave
you eggs sunny-side-up instead of scrambled because they are protesting what
they perceive police are doing to black people amounts to brutality.
Imagine if you went to the Emergency Room and the nurse
decided to take a knee for one minute before doing their job. There you are,
needing help, and your nurse is taking a knee, looking you in the eye, and
telling you it’s in protest of one cause or another.
Imagine you had an employee of any sort, and they start
doing things against the rules because they are protesting something totally
unrelated to what it is that you are doing. Would you not have the right to
fire them? Do they have a right to protest on your time, when you are paying
them to do a job? Are they entitled to have you pay for their protest?
What if your employee, known for working for you and
representing you, goes out and acts in a way that reflects badly upon you or
your business. Do you not have a right to sever ties with that employee?
This is what is happening in the NFL and other sports right
now. EMPLOYEES are protesting on company time, and are making statements while
on their boss’s dime that may or may not hurt their employer’s position. Unless
their employer specifically asks them to do these things, the employees have no
right to protest on company time.
Socialism teaches that people have a right to work
regardless of the position of their employer. Capitalism says that the boss is
always right.
Which side are you on? Are you a socialist or a capitalist?
What if you were the boss in this situation?
