This is wrong. He is using his voice to tell HBO that he doesn't like what Maher is doing. If he says he's canceling his subscription, he's no longer exercising free speech?
What if everyone who hears Maher say something stupid immediately cancels their subscriptions without calling in which results in HBO firing Maher? Is that also wrong in your eyes? Are you only pissed with people who
call for a boycott? Or are you actually angry at Flower for canceling HBO because he's "using economic means?"
If you're angry at people calling for a boycott, you are angry at free speech.
