That would be all i would have to say about the redskins case. It is literally impossible to distinguish from the tam case other than the quality of Workplace Environment and quality accommodation. Theres much to be encouraged about the tam case applying to things like redskins and campus speech and a good marker for hate speech. Just because youre offended doesnt mean you cant ban it. I worry about the hostile environment competing line of cases and where that would go. I guess ill stop there and let you guys have a chance for questions. Theres a lot more i can say about gove ....
