Your question didn't make sense to me.

...What they allow is up to them, correct?

Another simple question Pariah.


As I said on the first page of this thread: in my mind, a network can air or not air whatever view it wants for whatever reason regardless of the laws that say otherwise. In this case, however, the only laws that are relevant to the issue involve the network's intolerance toward Holyfield for offering his opinion in a conversation instigated by Lizzman. Normally, you have an appreciation for these laws except, in this instance, it doesn't support your own views, and so you're cool with it.

Both they and you have a God-given right to fire people for their belief-systems. The issue here is that you refuse to admit to your approval of that practice.

You're passing the buck again.

CBB wasn't the one that tried to offer up examples of workplace discrimination as analogues to this scenario. You were.

No need to deny your intolerance.


Like yourself I see their right to do the show. As somebody who's seen the show, this is how they do the show. If Big Brother doesn't like what contestants are doing or saying they warn them and sometimes threaten removal. The boxer is their big star this season so despite the threat, they won't actually remove him. While I found his comments offensive I don't feel the show needs to remove him either. I just recognize the show for what it is though. The boxer is their big star and as long as he's interesting they'll actually maneuver things to try to keep him in.


Fair play!
