You're allowed to say what you want. Although I disagree, I'm all for your right to say it. I don't see how anyone gives up their rights to free speech just because they're part of the NFL.

Because they are part of a team, if your labeled a "leader" you have to act like it .... part of the deal of being part of the NFL

It was stupid of him, but he was watching players, good players, get traded, cut, and restructured left and right. A lot of what he said was probably out of fear of the unknown.

Whoa there. This isn't a matter of free speech. It's not like he was going to go to jail over it. The fact is that there is a right way to handle things and a wrong way. He handled it wrong. Not just because he used social media to complain, but his complaints were off base to begin with. We're a team that needed to get better in a lot of areas and didn't have any cap space. That means big moves needed to be made. And yet, he took it personal somehow.

Well as I said in another thread related to this topic, he's making a lot of money for a reason. He IS a good player, and will make his money no matter if it were here or elsewhere. I don't see what there is to fear about that. And it was pretty clear, as Loomis even said as much, that this was about upgrading defense. So why would they trade Keenan? The guy just got too caught up in his emotions and forgot that the team's priority is to win, not to keep friends around to grow old together. I have no doubt it sucks to see your buddies get traded, but that's the business. It isn't new.

At least I showed the difference between right and wrong.

In case you didn't notice... I doesn't matter to Sean Payton or Micky Loomis what we think.

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
