I don't understand how it is legal for an organization to limit their constitutional right of expression? In addition they are not even employees of the FIA.
That being said, it really sucks the hypocrisy of sport business now, world cup, F1, Olympics, they are all claiming that sport help all the world to gather in peace and being good to humanity, when in reality it is like everyone shut up to our dictature to ensure we can make the most possible money by having the smoothest contradiction possible.
If it would help them get more money from advisers, they would not care having someone executing in backstage...
- dandelany 4y agoHow is it any different from an NDA? You have a right to free speech, and a right to willingly enter a contract with another party which constrains that right. Presumably the drivers can break the contract. I’m not condoning F1’s actions here, in fact I think it’s pretty despicable, but it’s not clearly illegal for any obvious reason.
- greatgib 4y agoIt is in constitution, and I'm not sure for US, but usually there is a hierarchy of the different layers of law that can't be contradicted. Like, for example, a NDA or contract can't allow you to hire someone as a slave. Even if the contract would say so. Company to company contracts are different still.
- dandelany 4y agoThe first amendment is specifically about the government interfering with one's free speech rights - "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech..." It generally doesn't apply in the case of two private parties entering a contract.
