Can’t. They wont drop DD and if they decide not to film they will still be under contract and will be sued if they film anything on any other station.

Yes, I too believe if they fold it on A&E, they’ll be picked right up by another larger and even more mainstream network.
The Robertson’s DO NOT need A&E, A&E along with ALL of the SPONSORS need the ROBERTSON’s and Duck DYNASTY.
With the start of the last series, DUCK DYNASTY had the largest viewership of any TV Program, setting new records. ALL Advertisers/Sponsors need/want/desire those kinds of viewer numbers.
MONEY speak huge volumes, much more the all of these other groups.
December 18, 2013 at 9:53 pm #1372635You’ve all been played. Don’t want to know, then don’t ask him. That’s his opinion. The opinion is in line with the Bible and he is 100% right, but it’s an opinion that was Fished out of him. In sorry, was somebody surprised by this??
December 19, 2013 at 6:16 am #1372658Phil Robertson said it…. it’s not like the bible….. errrrr… wait a minute…
at least he didn’t say, doing the show was like being a soldier or a police officer…
December 19, 2013 at 6:24 am #1372659I just find this all rather hypocritical of hollywood. People can say things equally offensive with a pro-[censored] slant and it is embraced as edgy.
We have freedom of speech. A&E had the right to ban Phil or do whatever they want. I would have preferred they wait and see if the comments negatively impact ratings before altering the show and suppressing free speech. Their job is to get ratings and sell ads.
Comcast now has Al Jazeera (sp?) who is the channel of choice in parts of the world that execute gays and they ban a man expressing his opinions? Have you heard Bill Maher, Chelsea Handler?
People need to stand up for freedoms, even when they dont argee with how others exercise their rights.
December 19, 2013 at 7:15 am #1372665For everyone saying they shouldn’t have suspended Phil.. What would YOUR employer do if you were featured in an article in your local paper and you said what Phil did? You wouldn’t have a job today.
December 19, 2013 at 7:28 am #1372670If I was suspended from my job for expressing my beliefs off job, and those believes had no impact or bearing on my job it would be time to move on. Free speech is a right. Freedom of religion is a right.

We all have a few beliefs and momentary thoughts in our heads that need to stay there. Not to mention that a good father and family patriarch does not knowingly hurt his family. This man did.

I call complete BS on that comment.
In most industry, I can not fathom that many employers would terminate an employee for expressing a controversial belief outside of work.

December 19, 2013 at 8:10 am #1372682In the end the show will go on and Phil will be back. The show brings in way to high of numbers for an end to anything that involves duck dynasty.
December 19, 2013 at 8:36 am #1372700If I were a betting man, the little time out will end unannounced after Christmas. There has been a lot of blow back from fans of the show. At some point they are going to have to bow and appease them too, while still saving face with GLAAD.
This is a situation where wolves were lurking in the bushes just waiting for one of them to say something crass and politically incorrect and jump all over it. There are a lot of people out there who can’t stand the success of a show featuring dim witted, backwards bayou hill billies who pray at the end of a show and kill defenseless animals.
December 19, 2013 at 8:47 am #1372709Yep, the public has a very short memory. I would guess that most people can’t remember half the scandals from the past six months that at the time infuriated them.
The undisputed champion of the world will again prevail…money.
December 19, 2013 at 8:49 am #1372711Why do so many people who believe in free speech, have such disdain for a man who speaks freely.
Why does a true Christan judge a man buy his words,when it is truly the allmightys judgement that matters most.
It does not bother me what Phil felt he had to say.

Now that’s funny right there!
It is however curious that political correctness has trumped freedom of expression. Stinks of McCarthyism…..

Govt shutdown. You did great! I still stand by my rule of MOST PEOPLE though. Also Chris, thank you for mentioning the ones that matter! Not some multimillionaire spouting off his views on homosexuals.

December 19, 2013 at 3:18 pm #1372877The fact of the matter is what Phil Robertson said on his own time has nothing to do with the show. I don’t agree with what he said, but it doesn’t matter, what he said has nothing to do with the show.
It’s time to push back and show that it isn’t just special interests that have a voice. Just because they have their feelings hurt it doesn’t mean they can force a change to the show and affect the rest of us.
If you want to show support to GLAAD and whoever else has a beef with Phil, just don’t watch the show anymore. Why should Duck Dynasty Fans be affected by something that has nothing to do with them?

Funny, and off subject…but when they weighed my daughter when she was born it was 6.66, but I flipped a penny up on it and they were kind enough to call it 6.67! I freak out bout that stuff too.
