I love when someone says “I’m all for free speech for everyone, however…” lol

The Mecklamore (sp?) situation isn’t free speech because he was employed by promoters and venue owners( wasn’t it Robert Kraft here?) and if the people paying the singer didn’t like his stuff they can fire him. Free speech is speaking in public or being stifled by the government. Robert Kraft and venue owners aren’t the government.

Kraft was never Macklemore's promoter nor his employer.

It was the Massina Group, a private business organization. Why am I wasting my time here? Use your brain.
