Ohio

This is the community where the movie theaters did NOT run Brokeback Mountain or Milk..."subject matter too controversial" is what the press were told.

While I support his right to sit/kneel/whatever...I can see Kroger's point. As an employee, I don't think you actually have freedom of speech when representing your employer. And I'm sure that Kroger heard about if from more than one Trump voter up there. As a result, it is likely that Kroger concluded that this employee's action could adversely impact Kroger's business at that store. Rethugs are notorious for voting with their feet up there.

Kaep took the position that he was willing to accept what, if any, fallout occurred from his actions. Some Denver player lost some low paying endorsements locally due to his kneeling. This kid, at Kroger, got a lesson in Rethug mob rule but he should know the neighborhood he's working in.

Manziel - in SW Ohio...kid could get the chair just cuz it's Cleveland. lol. Seriously though - what about a Ray Rice jersey...think anyone would complain that he was promoting violence against women. Probably not. I'm sure if called on it, most of those asshats up there would just say "black-on-black crime, what can you do???"

Asshats.
