I can only dream of reaching Trump levels of trolling.
If Trump’s Twitter page within Twitter’s private enterprise is deemed a constitutionally protected free speech public forum as it influences public policy, then it follows that the nationally televised National Anthem within the NFL’s private enterprise is also a constitutionally protected free speech public forum as it also influences public policy.
The NFL is therefore violating the first amendment rights of these players with a public forum. Go ahead and start a class action lawsuit.
Private property rights further erode.
NFL’s new national anthem policy: Players must stand if on field but can opt to stay in locker room
Players refusing to stand for the national anthem had been a flashpoint for the league since Colin Kaepernick, then San Francisco’s quarterback, first began kneeling in 2016 to protest the treatment of African Americans in the U.S.

If Twitter were to ban a user on their site, that would interfere with that user’s first amendment protected right to free speech on Trump’s tweets.
Trump’s tweets within Twitter can’t be a “public forum” without Twitter itself first being “public property”.
You can not have a public park contained within private property. It does not work that way. Twitter is now a public utility.
Be careful who you “friend” on Facebook. Unfriend them and they might sue you arguing it was a public space.
Does this mean I can go to Bernie Sanders’ Facebook page, post pornography (protected by the first), and they aren’t allowed to delete my posts or block me as that would be a violation of my first amendment rights in a public forum? 🤔
This just opened up a can of worms.

Also a very thorough description of the situation.
Parents, don’t raise your children to be socialists. Just trust me on this one.

In future America, you will need to register your scissors with the state. Only licensed people will be permitted to use scissors.
This is a real Tweet.
