If I stood up in my workplace and shouted for all to hear remarks similar to his, I would most likely be fired, not suspended. The first amendment says that the government cannot pass laws to abridge freedom of speech. Private businesses (such as my employer, the NHL...) may restrict speech in their workplace in what ever manner they choose.
