Question

A professional soccer player was disciplined for failing to abide by a team policy which required all players to stand for a moment of silence before the start of each game. The player thought this policy was centered on a principle in which she did not adhere, and so she chose not to stand with the team. The player was concerned that she would be fired, and brought an action against the franchise owner requesting relief from the team policy. How should the court rule

Answer 1

Against the player, because the team's policy is not unconstitutional.

This is a widely accepted activity before football matches to remember players that have died.

So a violation of this policy can be punished because the policy is one that is acceptable by constitution
