You work for the local Honda dealership as a sales associate. You love to play softball, but your employer refuses to sponsor a team in the local recreation league. The Ford dealership across the street from your employer has a team and lets you join. When your manager learns that you are playing on the Ford team, he tells you that “it’s a conflict of interest” and that you must quit the team or lose your job. Can the manager legally fire you for playing on the Ford softball team? Does your answer depend upon where your employer is located?

Explain.
