Polite Paradise

That video is HYSTERICAL, GloryandCrumpets! I'm glad I'm working from home today, or I definitely would have annoyed my coworkers with my laughing and excited hand-waving (which I do when things are funny, don't know why).

SummerNightsRaceCarLights, I'm also trying to get back on track with keto! I was a member of the keto subreddit, but it's gotten so toxic there that I usually won't read or post. A great site for keto recipes is ruled.me!

I had the same issue with the subreddit (though there is still a lot of great information there I reference).  I will have to try ruled.me.  Right now my favorite are slow cooker keto meals and freezer prep.  Planning to eat in general has really seemed to help. 

I think that these celebrities (which professional athletes are) should have the right, on their own time, to speak about their political views/stances/leanings without consequences at their job---this is actually special treatment because, depending on your political stance and how you said it advertised it, that in and of itself could get people fire from their job.  However, like in most jobs, I think the owners/CEO have a right to express what conduct is okay and what is not okay.  In this instance, the employer has not given the employees an ultimatum but instead did give them the choice of staying in the locker room.  This action, if some choose to take it, will also be noticed just as kneeling/sitting is already.  I honestly think it's a good compromise by the employer.

Just like any other job (though many are not nearly as lucrative), it's the employees choice to continue working there if the rules no longer make sense to them. 

I would talk to the group leader first.  But, since I tend to be a sarcastic person who si pretty blunt, it would be hard for me not speak up during the meeting.  Usually, if you are feeling this way in a meeting/group, other people are as well.
