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

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.

there are also consequences. They have contracts, and I am quite sure there are clauses in there that prevent this sort of thing. There are clauses that prevent them from riding motorcycles etc. You'd be surprised what's in there.
