Also said before it's not about his beliefs, it's about how he enjoys creating controversy on twitter (he literally challenged a fan to a fist fight) and the Rangers have multiple times had to "deal with it internally" with him.
It's not about his beliefs, it's about his social media use and how the Rangers have to "clean up" after him.
It's an important distinction. It's not like Madison Square Garden Sports (James Dolan) is some liberal bastion that is trying to strike down ADA and his conservative views.
While totally agreeing with you, I still believe that ADA's social media issues wouldn't have anything to do with his benching by Quinn unless it started effecting the locker room, either by others having to answer questions about it, or friction developing with teammates. Neither of those seem to be the case.
On the surface I didn't like his being scratched last game but without knowing all the details plus how Quinn has handled ADA in the past and gotten a lot out of him, I understand it.
I can also understand Quinn not inserting him back into the defense for the next game on a dealing with personnel level. It would be hard for Quinn to call one of the starting six into his office to tell them that they are sitting the next game when all of them did everything that the coaches had asked of them the previous game (so early in the season). If one of the usual suspects has a shaky game tomorrow (likely), even in a Rangers win, I'm betting Quinn will insert ADA back in.
