Is still a thing
Not any more bud. This country is so fucked.
just glad he never walked into the octagon with a confederation flag.
I applaud him for speaking his mind.
not much of that lately
Dumb people love free speech.
Romero is about to find out it isn't... It's a circus now.
The UFC is not a governing agency nor is the public. The 1st amendment only protects from government persecution. Its really amazing how many people don't understand this.
It's not a free speech issue
No one is going to arrest him for saying what he said
But he isn't free from being judged for his apparent stupidity, if that is what he actually said

It's amazing how many people are confused about what freedom of speech is. it just means the government can't outlaw your speech. It doesn't mean you get to do it on your company's time.
No one is going to arrest Romero for what he said. He voiced his opinion and had the freedom to do so.
But free speech does not mean free from judgement. If people don't like what he said they will react accordingly.

HexRei -I know the difference, but it's still no different. Speech should be protected no matter what opinion is being stated. If it isn't inciting violence or physical harm, it should be protected.Ninpo Silva - Not any more bud. This country is so fucked.

I understand private business can enforce rules against certain speech but I don't think that's right. It's just a work around to protecting free speech. Individuals can be singled out by their employer based on them spouting an unpopular opinion. I don't think that's right.

So a McDonalds employee should be able to call a customer a faggot nigger and the employer should have no right to fire them?
