it's really hard to win a court case when you sue someone for libel and/or slander. the luis suarez and john terry cases in this country were looked at likeAbout @penfield's thread.
There's a quote that surprised me an instant but then I realized it was the American freedom of speech but I'll need a few explanations from you US brehs.
So insulting somebody on a racial or sexist basis is really legal in the US ? Like imagine if the NBA commissioner used the n-word during his press-conference yesterday, nothing would have happened to him (legally speaking) for real ? People would have shrugged and said "well, he has the right, he's protected by the first amendment..." ? I'm a little astonished that your freedom of speech goes that far honestly. Can somebody confirm ?
I ask because in France, if somebody did that, I could sue him and win the case easily. Same if it's a sexist or homophobic insult for example.

so the commish can say that, but it's now our right to lead a boycott, call him a racist wannabe slave owner, and destroy his business and his reputation. it's really all about the bottom line. civil rights movements have essentially worked in this country because they were able to convince business owners and politicians that they're better off financially not shutting out a group of people just because of skin color.
when gay people started moving into castro, the heart of the gay rights movement, one of the first things they did was start shopping at all the stores owned by people that didn't like them. so the anti-gay business owners saw huge increases in revenue and fell back on the criticism and moves to push them out
also see sit-ins, students were able to fukk up the finances of local restaurants that the owners eventually just said fukk it, serve em, they're obviously not gonna stop. it was a flawed but very practical means of getting people to at least respect your dollar, which is really all that counts in the states
