Barack Obama is not my most favorite person, but Sloan has every right to control those kinds of things on their private property. The First Amendment applies to government, not private businesses.
Now when Obama held speeches as President and used his SS/FBI security to prevent the public from recording him, that was a problem.

After Armap's post of the "policy'" it just turned into an ideological & Legal argument (Does that sit well with you as an American? A private entity can threaten you with punishment-subverting your right to free speech??) and a very dangerous precedent In the USA.

That's not something new, it's been happening since the beginning of the US. A business/private entity has rights allowing them to censor speech in their place of business.

When Trump pays some woman to keep her mouth shut about an affair, is that an infringement on free speech also, or did she agree not to speak? She got money, they got an invite.

It's one thing to censor speech at a place of business or even what you say outside of that business if you're still an employee or representative of that business, but to limit someone from posting their opinions about your business or it's paid speakers as a paying customer or attendee AFTER THE EVENT IS OVER is excessive and wrong.
