to add a happy note

One night, as a couple lays down for bed, the husband starts rubbing his wife's arm.
The wife turns over and says 'I'm sorry honey, I've got a gynecologist appointment tomorrow and I want to stay fresh.'
The husband, rejected, turns over.
A few minutes later, he rolls back over and taps his wife again.
'Do you have a dentist appointment tomorrow too?'

He has the right to say and do whatever he wants, youre right, and the company he works for, A&E, has the right to fire him for his views if the company doesnt agree with them.

Why dont you try talking about how much you hate gays at your job openly and see how long your employer keeps you employed.

You have a freedom of speech, but you dont have a freedom of consequences.

There it is…

No law enforcement is arresting him for what he said.

Corporate America at is finest, he has every right to speak his mind regardless. Let's see when A&E starts to lose money and rating and see what happens.

John Scared him did not jump him. What was Carlysle thinking putting him out there? John was already on the ice. Then Kessel starting Jawing at John and actually made the first move . John was laughing at the whole situation . Did you actually watch the game or just read what Leafs fans and bloggers wrote.

I watched the game, and I saw what 999/1000 other people saw. Both Scott and Kessel admitted to what I just said. Soon as the puck dropped, Scott dropped his gloves and reached for him. How is that not jumping him? Im not entirely sure you watched the whole situation without wearing your John Scott glasses.

Had to break it up in here a bit

I saw Kessel raise his arm to him as he was saying something . then Scott went after him. Video doesn't lie. I know your not a closet Leafs fan are you ?

That's not the point though. He is representing a television network. If the network doesn't agree with what he said then they have every right to pull him. Last time I checked A&E doesn't have a Kanye West Miley Cyrus show.

It's like if I worked for your landscaping company and one do your clients were gay. If I spat off at the mouth causing you to lose a customer you should have the right to fire me.

He represented his beliefs and his values, that's what he represented, however....... heaven for bid if you don't just smile and wave in this new america, this what happens when you have values and stand by you opinion. Kanye West makes a statement like that TV show or no TV show, nothing happens.

Bulls$$T he has every right to say what ever he wants, the problem is if you don't agree with what is going on in main stream America that means you are a wrong? bulls$$t if you ask me. People can do or be what they want but I'm not wrong if I don't agree with it. This country is falling apart more and more each day, certain people in the spot light can get away with what they want but the folks from Duck Dynasty can't? I guess if you have morals in this country you are wrong but Miley Cyrus and Kanye West can do and say what ever and there is no problem, but Phil Robertson has morals and values and he can't?

He can say whatever he wants, but the network has sponsors and if the sponsors lose money because of it you cant blame them for dropping him or whatever theyre doing with the show.

I'm more surprised people thought a bunch of hicks from the south would think otherwise

From what I heard of the interview . he was asked a question and answered it honestly. He is a god loving christian and thats his beliefs . Why should he be condemned for being honest ? Maybe we should write to the WEC (white entertainment channel) and get their views on this .

Because it's all about the MONEY, the sponsors and A&E themselves are worrying about sponsors and MONEY............ nothing more.

Phil Kessel had absolutely no intention of fighting John Scott. John Scott has openly said he was fighting whoever was lined up with him. He told Phil what he was going to do, and he did it.... he jumped him. Phil didnt provoke him at all.

This is another issue with having Scott now. Since the Thornton incident, you won't see guys trying to "force" players who make questionable hits fight anymore.

I agree 100% with you but , why write to them, you will be the one that's wrong because you wrote the letter. Look I don't care about color, race, religion none of that crap but, if I don't agree with something don't condemn me because of my opinion and that is what Phil Roberston is doing, standing by his beliefs and morals just like the other folks that are complaining what he said are doing. But it only works one way I guess.

good point . And there isn't a white entertainment channel

.... Phil totally dropped his gloves and provoked John Scott. Forget anything they said themselves in the post game interviews. It was all made up.

Phil Kessel totally started the fight.

But not everyone is a Christian. Or god loving. That's the problem. What he said offended millions of Americans. Me personally I could care less, but I'm not running a network

The network is worrying about Sponsors, Money and Ratings nothing more. This country is completely falling a part. They have been looking to get the Duck Dynasty guys on SOMETHING, ANYTHING and now they have. They couldn't handle his and his family's Christian beliefs and morals, I guess that's a bad thing What a load of crap.

I didn't see that. seems a few caused a interest and the station panicked and took precautionary measures . I know a lot of gay people and not one were offended by it . They simply said . No problem he didn't say anything bad about us .

good point . And there isn't a white entertainment channel

By the way.................... It's MERRY CHRISTMAS not Happy Holidays. Now we can't say Merry Christmas anymore either?
