I agree with that, but you could also argue that they are club employees and representing the club too. Its a balancing act and I would back individuals right to choice, but not everyone would agree.Well if he gives instruction, and I am not sure he would dare rock the boat with the players at this juncture, it should be do as you wish, personal choice, freedom to speak (or not) as you wish.
Huh?
Yeah, appreciate that point. In ordinary life we are seeing employers and their HR departments taking a greater interest in employees social media accounts. They are often vetted in the recruitment as well as the disciplinary processes nowadays. Freedom of speech has to be respected and it is a personal choice on the language we all use as it has consequences (as we all know) and can affect brands.I agree with that, but you could also argue that they are club employees and representing the club too.

So not all bad news thenI've been told Kev the taxi driver won't be ringing in today out of solidarity
Defending the freedom to speak is a human rights issue not a political one.2/3 years ago when Warnock made a comment about Boris plenty of members where unhappy with him using a press conference to make statement like that now some want the Boro team to make a political statement by not talking to the BBC
I was taking the **** about the knee
Defending the freedom to speak is a human rights issue not a political one.
Warnock's comments were at a Club Press Conference the issue was using that platform to air his political views, totally different to posting them on his own social media pages.
I hope every player where's a vest under their shirt showing solidarity for Lineker and shows it as part of any goal celebration will make MOTD interesting.
‘Good old Boris’ regardless of Warnock political persuasions I do think he was just trying to make people feel good in those pressers. ‘Good old Boris’ is hardly resounding support.. came across like he’s a useless twonk who is doing his best in a bad situation..Defending the freedom to speak is a human rights issue not a political one.

Does anyone honestly believe that Lineker would have been suspended if he had posted a pro-government Tweet ?

I would love boro to take a stand.. but I don’t think we will. I don’t think Carrick will be phased by any of this and would be very single minded and matter of fact about it.Defending the freedom to speak is a human rights issue not a political one.

‘It’s gone political’ - so fingers on lips, sit on our hands and accept that we cannot have an opinion outside of work?Sorry I don’t agree its now gone political and by wanting the Boro to not talk to the BBC or make a gesture we are getting involved in politics.
Racist idiot. That is not at all what he said.Suddenly, because Lineker who is employed at phenomenal cost to licence payers is stood down for comparing the murder of millions of Jews to the government attempt to stop a mixture of Albanian masses and economic migrants flooding our country he becomes a Martyr on here. Interesting potential conflict of interest for some when being urged to show solidarity with a multi-millionaire whose wrists have been slapped for being foolish.

Well surely if it has 'gone political' then we are making a decision politically if we decide to talk to the BBC (that being to support the BBC's position to stifle freedom of speech).Sorry I don’t agree its now gone political and by wanting the Boro to not talk to the BBC or make a gesture we are getting involved in politics.
No he didnt compare government policy to the holocaust. Thats an outright lie and you know it.Suddenly, because Lineker who is employed at phenomenal cost to licence payers is stood down for comparing the murder of millions of Jews to the government attempt to stop a mixture of Albanian masses and economic migrants flooding our country he becomes a Martyr on here.

Ahh, you're going with the Braverman approach of working incredibly hard to try and turn Lineker's tweet into something about the holocaust. In no way shape or form did it draw any comparison.Suddenly, because Lineker who is employed at phenomenal cost to licence payers is stood down for comparing the murder of millions of Jews to the government attempt to stop a mixture of Albanian masses and economic migrants flooding our country he becomes a Martyr on here.
