Everyone is entitled to their opinion and everyone is entitled to take actions, boycott, or speak out in opposition...if you don't like that person's opinion.
Regardless of where they work...or even don't work.
Freedom of speech IS the very foundation of our nation (hint: that's why it is the FIRST amendment). 
Don't like it?
I'm pretty sure you can always find a place to live...that doesn't allow freedom of speech.

So the NBA player is allowed an opinion, but the forum poster is not? Hmm.
