Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The First Amendment refers to the government's restriction on an individual's right to free speech. Private entities, such as the NFL, are not bound by the First Amendment and can regulate the speech of their employees. The NFL's suspension of the player does not violate their First Amendment rights.
