Instead, Selig has ordered Rocker to undergo psychological testing, and Rocker has apologized for his remarks. It centers on respect. Its absence, then, indicates something unethical, something immoral. What's at issue, here, is clearly unethical behavior. That's different, of course, from saying that it's illegal behavior.
Freedom of speech permits disrespectful discourse.
So the corrective for Rocker's rant is not to be found in a court of law but in a culture of values within which Rocker operates. And that's the question. Had Rocker been a schoolteacher, today's education culture would have made such discourse unthinkable. Here, self-confidence is everything. Talk is useful not to probe moral questions but to whip emotion into superhuman endurance.
