Bart Hubbuch vs. NY Post
NY Post seeks dismissal of Bart Hubbuch’s lawsuit; argues that his job and tweeting are “intertwined” https://t.co/czV9soM4cF
— Daniel Wallach (@WALLACHLEGAL) March 17, 2017
NY Post also says Bart wasn’t off the clock, since it emailed him a work assignment just three minutes before the Trump tweet. Ludicrous.

NY Post invokes 1st Amendment in Bart Hubbuch lawsuit. Says it has a “First Amendment right to control its own editorial position” re: Trump
— Daniel Wallach (@WALLACHLEGAL) March 18, 2017
Bart Hubbuch’s lawsuit vs. NY Post may hinge on whether tweeting is a hobby under NY law. One NY court held “dating” isn’t even a hobby.

As @mikefreemanNFL wrote, big reason Kaepernick isn’t signed is he protested, not playing ability. But that’s the risk of protesting.
