With hulk hogan recently winning his lawsuit it got me thinking "why did hulk hogan get fired for his remarks? shouldn't it just be considered freedom of speech?" so i ask /b/ is saying racial remarks considered freedom of speech? And if not what is the extant of freedom of speech?

yes
>>674705764
freedom of speech is just an empty shell.

Freedom of speech keeps you from getting arrested, you can still get fired if your boss doesn't like it, you dumb nigger.
Sure, you can say anything you want. But don't expect to keep your job if your employer doesn't want what you say being associated with them.

We don't have freedom of speech

Only niggers get to make racial slurs. If you're white, you're not allowed to do that. Welcome to the double standard society we live in folks.

What he said was said in private and the tape was never meant to be released to the public. WWE went overboard trying to erase him from history.

Freedom of Speech just means the government can't punish you for saying something. Anyone else can be mad at you for whatever they want.

you don't know what you're talking about, kid.
It is important to have free speech to figure out truth. Even if the hate preechers are wrong it is important to debate with them to make sure they find out out truth. Never supress someone even if they are wrong.

He was fired for the public's reaction to his remarks. Not the remarks themselves. That's how freedom of speech goes, sorry racists.
Who gives a shit, Gawker is fucking dead.
"The $115 million judgement is just over three years of revenue for Gawker. (It's about 17 years worth of profit). They'd have to fork over every dime to Hulk and operate with no cash flow and a huge operating loss for the next 3 years in order to pay this off. Even with a $50 million bond, that's still about 1.75 years worth of revenue, or 8 years worth of profit.
Does anyone on earth care that much about keeping Gawker Media alive that they would be willing to float their operating expenses for the next 2-3 years? I highly doubt it. Can Gawker afford to run at a loss for the next 17 years? I doubt that, too."
Tl;dr Gawker is fucked
