Duh.

So your "should be's" won't fly. The regent will be -- and is being -- seen as a racist slave-owner, whipping his disobedient slaves into submission.

The are protesting a lie, that's why we ignore it.

Is this serious?

WHY makes no difference. I bet you're not allowed to stage a protest of any kind at your workplace... on company time...

If WHY mattered to free speech, then whom would determine what is and is not 'sufficient'. This is a situation of someone under contract to represent the University, not themselves.

Beautiful.

This reminds me of my grandson whom I love very much but unfortunately does not know how to appreciate anything but his greed.

My son gave him a one year old Volester or whatever it's called. Instead of being happy he was mad as it didn't suit what he thought he "deserved". He wanted something else, I don't know what. I was not happy with this as I told my son that if he had done the same thing I would have sold the care and made him ride a bus.

This is what happens when people who have never served in any capacity for their country do. They do not appreciate what they have or what others did for them. It is really shameful.

The regent says the football players should lose their jobs for protesting.

OK, fine. The regent should lose his job for protesting the protest. So what is the issue???

Aside from your calling him a racist bigot?

What about protesting the protest makes him a bigot? So ANYONE that objects to these poorly informed attention seekers is automatically a racist?!?

And now we've REALLY jumped the shark.

Racist slave-owner. Whipping.

Over a difference of opinion.

What if this regent was black? Or Asian? Still a slave owner? Or simply an individual with a differing opinion?

This is truly comical.

She needs her safe space.

Hambone: deadly serious. You think it would've gotten play if it wasn't an old, white regent trying to shut down a BLM protest?

Dunk: except the regent is not simply saying "I don't like what they're doing! Humpf!", he's saying "get these f___ing blackies out of my state!!!"

The why is because they are ignorant uneducated dumbasses not interested in any truth.

Duh.

Where were the MplsBisons and the rest of the people concerned about on-field free speech when the NCAA banned eye paint because of Tebow's John 3:16 message?

OH, they had no problem with it and were whining about supposed proselytizing.

Paul, well neither of us can speak on much about them, except that they're protesting for the rights of black people.

And good for them!

Ain't been listening to the morons have you. They're protesting the murders being committed by the police in their war on blacks.

They're protesting a lie.

Bison your services as SJW are needed in the Deep South. You won't find too many Blacks in No.Dak or Minnesota.

Or better yet, it's time to go tend your yard or charge your Prius.

Paul,

Doubt that's true. I'll entertain some quotes though.
