this is ridiculous. the kid's jacket should not have been an issue at all.

This is not a freedom of speech issue anyway. An employer has every right to tell you how to dress at work. At my work, we wear a suit and tie everyday… I can't walk in in jeans and a polo shirt and cry "freedom of speech".

What a disgrace. I don't wear IBM shirts to my work computer job because they are our competetion. He is lucky there wasn't Mets fans or the NYPD to beat some sense into his @ss. I would have
been glad to spill my $10.50 beer on his head.

actually they have every right to tell him to take off the jacket. He was working for St.Johns and his supervisor gave him the option take it off or leave. It has nothing to do with taxpayers or even the mets… It has everything to do with a stupid kid thinking the bs he pulls with his parents is gonna work with teachers and employers.

Flaw in your thinking:

Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequence.

sorry children. but the kid has a right to sue. there was no dress code. esp. since two others were wearing their own jackets.

violation of free speech. some of you might have heard of it. it is something that allows for a web site like this to exist where all of you children can comment on people who are not around to defend themselves.

plus, he was covering a college game(not mets) in a stadium that was paid for by TAXPAYERS. SOME OF WHOM ARE NOT METS FANS OR EVEN SPORTS FANS!

Yeah, definitely a moron. I work for a television company and am a Red Sox fan. If I was going to work at any stadium or arena, I'd get fired for wearing any items related to a sport. That kid has a lot to learn if he wants to work in television.
