Depends on your job. If you working at Walmart then nah, pretty much anything you do should be acceptable. Higher profile and paying jobs are going to have more restrictions. That's just how it goes.

Most of these company/team owners are racist as well as co workers,but they don't get the Sterling treatment.

its not that... it's the fact that this social media shyt is blowing shyt up... making it get out of hand.... to the point that these athletes ain't getting punished for what they did... but for social media outrage. ..

You CAN get fired for smoking weed.
That's why people get drug-tested.

Whether or not something should exist is irrelevant to whether or not it does exist
Right now we live in a world where people base their opinions of you on the information they have available
sometimes the conclusions they draw are correct and sometimes they are not
but people rarely suspend belief or hold off on labeling people good and bad or right and wrong
which is why it's best to use caution when deciding what kind of information you give to others
I see no reason why my boss would know any of the aforementioned things if they were true about me

The social media outrage is part of it but there are people who really are having trouble accepting the fact you can't live life doing what you want then expecting nobody to ever react or face consequences for it. The mentality that comes with being able to say/do wild shit then cut off the computer has warped some people's minds on the fact that if you do something fucked up theres consequences for that.
The internet got people thinking you can do something fucked up then get off by saying "stop catching feelings". That shit was said repeatedly during Ray Rice drama in Feb and last week, the AP drama, and probably with the nee drama with Dwyer being suspended too after being arressted.

What Arian Foster said was spot on about the beer company selling poison from a high horse.

depends what your job is. If a public servant like a cop or judge has his uniform on under his klan robe so he doesn't have to stop and change after the rally; yeah that's a major problem. But if he has his kennel cleaning rubber boots on while he has that klan robe on, i couldn't care less.

depends on your job. if youre working off the back of a trashtruck, which I have done quite a few times, you could whup your wife within an inch of her life and as long as you bail out and before at work at the start of your shift aint nobody giving a fuck. Jobs where you are in the public eye....ehhhhh??!..??

Depending on your job, how much exposure to the public you have with it, and the skill level it takes you will always be held to a higher standard.
This isn't 2 or 3 decades ago before things such as the internet, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram existed these outlets have provided the public with more of a voice and a lot of these leagues and corporations care about their public perception and the possible loss of revenue and integrity in their brand from that perception.
Is it fair no but to whom much is given much is expected.

When you work for a company, you represent that company. As a representative of that company, you are held responsible for acting in a way that doesn't reflect poorly on that company. Obviously there is a line between personal freedom and having to represent a company, but let's not act like people should be able to do whatever they want in their personal life and their job shouldn't care.

Here's a more realistic example.
U.S. senators call for federal judge to resign over wife beating
(Reuters) - Three U.S. senators on Wednesday called for the resignation of a federal judge accused of beating his wife in an Atlanta hotel room last month.
Senators Richard Shelby and Jeff Sessions, both Republicans of Alabama, joined Senator Claire McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat, in calling for the resignation of Alabama-based U.S. District Court Judge Mark Fuller.
“Judge Fuller’s unacceptable personal conduct violates the trust that has been placed in him. He can no longer effectively serve in his position and should step down,” Sessions said in a statement.
The calls for Fuller's resignation come amid a furor over the National Football League's treatment of players accused or convicted of domestic violence, which critics say has been too lenient.
Alabama U.S. Representative Terri Sewell, Democrat of Alabama, called for Fuller's resignation last week.
Earlier this month, Fuller, 55, resolved a misdemeanor charge of battery stemming from the incident with his wife by agreeing to attend a six-month domestic violence program and to submit to a substance abuse assessment.
Barry Ragsdale, an attorney for Fuller, did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
A 2002 appointee of former President George W. Bush, Fuller is facing an administrative complaint and was stripped of his docket by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals following the incident.
In a statement after resolving his criminal case, Fuller said he hoped to resume work.
how can you be responsible for someone losing their job for an offense you got to keep yours for. Now every DV case that comes before him is going to seem like he's being a hypocrite or being soft on the crime.
how in the fuck would any boss know his male employee was masturbating at night in his home?
what kind of spying ass shit is that?
"what if you can get fired for smoking weed", you can..
as for those other things, there's a public image to uphold.. because ppl think that not punishing an employee, Ray Rice or Adrian Peterson, means that they support whatever it is they did... So in the end, there's no choice, they gotta keep their company name clean..
They don't know how to think clearly, they let their emotions, clouded judgement and poor logic take over..
Yet, if their loved one was in the same position, they would think its unfair that they were fired or suspended on something that had nothing to do w their job..

She was probably just mad she wasn't invited to the party. Sounds like something an IC chick would do.

That's the stupidest shit ever. Seems like your homie would have just told the chicks 'Yo, take these shits to some other place to get them developed. Not to my job.'.
