So no, this is definitely not true within this context. You have life outside of work where you can be political. I believe it's the job of companies to be 'good citizens' and only to be active politically if it's either really part of the mission statement - or - unavoidable, perhaps in the case of NFL, they had a huge communications issue.

If you really want to 'push green' then getting into that industry might be a good personal choice.
