You didn't addess your assertion, however, that employees should have a say in who the shareholders are that own their employer.
I didn’t say employees should have a say. I said that if employees have strong objection to somebody, it is only fair that the owners give the objections a serious consideration.
Telling the employees to get lost and do what they object to out of spite is not conducive to good relations with the employees. In this case, since the players had strong objections to Rush ‘drug addict’ Limbaugh, a fair employer would give the objection serious consideration. And to be fair to the owners, they did consider it seriously, decided that there was merit to the objection and dropped the drug addict on loan from God like a hot potato.
