Q. Is there an objective standard for morality?
A. No. Each unique individual possesses his or her own unique moral code. I would suggest that from this organic process, the aggregate of these subjective moral codes approach what appears to be an objective moral code (i.e. don't kill, don't steal, don't rape, etc.). This pseudo objective moral code would reflect the subjective moral codes of billions of people acting in accordance with their tacit (or express) acknowledgement of humans' inherent natural rights.
There is definitely not an objective standard of morality from your God. There are some people on this planet who have never heard of your God, much less his teachings. Yet, these people still operate with a moral code.
Q. Does someone have a right to express their opinion as to whether or not a particular person or country has acted in immoral fashion.
A. Of course.
Q. In the U.S. if someone publicly disrespects the pledge of allegiance, do the customers of that person's employer have a right to express their opinion that the employee has upset/angered/irritated them and that because of it they will alter their buying decisions spending less money on that employer's product(s)?
A. Of course.
Q. If the employer feels that the employees' actions are upsetting customers, does he/she/it have a right to tell the employee to stop doing those actions?
A. Of course.
Q. Could employers make fine or otherwise punish players who did so anyway, including things such as fining, suspending, firing, reducing playing time etc.?
A. Of course, unless there was some pre-existing contract between the parties stating otherwise.
