Just to clarify, criticizing social media not this article. I think the world would be a much better place if more people cared about what Craig has to say.

I for one hope we can return to an age where we don’t give one [expletive deleted] what other people have to say. And believe me when I say the irony of posting this statement does not escape me.

I’m not sure whether the Clandestine Service is unionized, but Iran is a right-to-work state anyway.

Actually, the employees aren’t prohibited from discussing workplace conditions, just from discussing them publicly. I’m not seeing this being an issue.

I’m almost positive it is, you just don’t hear about it as often as say guys from the NBA/NFL.

However, any lawyer able to clear up the discrepancy between two players talking about officiating and getting punished = against NLRB regs, but one person is not? Am I just missing a really obvious point?

I forget – does MLB fine players/coaches/staff for criticizing officiating, like several of the other major sports do? If so, how does that not run afoul of it? (No, seriously, I’m curious.)

When you signed on to be a blogger, I bet you never expected to spend this much time on legal issues. (I could ask the same of Florio and PFT, but any website with a “Days Since Arrest” counter is likely to need a lawyer more.)
