>>Actually, the first admendment protects you from the Gov't infringing on your rights to say what you want. You still need to deal with the consequences. For example, if you go to your boss and tell he/she that you think they are an idiot, you are free to do so. That person however, has the right to fire your ass....

>The first amendment means whatever the judges (presiding over any given issue at any give time) think it means. As for Rocker, he is a hired gun for a baseball team, not a philosopher. People don't pay to hear him speak, they pay to watch him throw a small orb faster than most people are able. As long as Mr. Rocker is able to perform that task better than 99.9% of the population, someone will want him in their arsenal, his opinions notwithstanding. I cite Dennis Rodman, Latrell Spreewell, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum.
