Bigot Fired

Yeah, “Duck Dynasty” isn’t Robertson’s “place of work”, it’s a program that A&E agreed to finance and distribute a la contractual details. They didn’t “hire” Robertson, they drafted an agreement with him. So everything does boil down to the terms of that agreement. In this case, there was almost assuredly a “morality clause” included, which is standard in these kinds of entertainment deals, and would allow for A&E to do precisely what they did here. If it’s a bad precedent, it’s one that’s been around for decades. And has been used plenty (both Alec Baldwin and Martin Bashir in recent memory).

To be reasonable requires one to be knowledgeable/educated on the facts and the precedent/history of the situation. You’ve proven plenty that you’re not.
