The corporation certainly can kick you out of the stadium, but any law that can make such broadcast illegal is probably nigh unconstitutional in the US.

It’s amazing how many constitutional rights are allowed to be restricted by contract in the US. First Amendment free speech rights are on that list.
Obviously rights can be limited by contract. That’s what a contract is: two parties agreeing to things they’re not legally forced to do.
Definitely not unilaterally.

Washington Landlord Tenant law lists several unwaivable rights of tenants, even given specific consideration.

You can't put a clause in my lease that says "For a discount of $100/mo, I forego the relevant rights on habitability (heating, water, etc.)" - even if I am willing to agree to it.

No, that is not correct. Search for “unwaivable rights”. Obviously you can’t just limit rights with a contract. If you could, labour laws would be useless and minimum wages wouldn’t exist.
>First Amendment free speech rights are on that list.

Do you think NDAs should be prohibited?

The First Amendment only prohibits speech restriction BY THE GOVERNMENT. It does not prohibit it by any other entities.
